Scope/Description:

African Security explores fresh approaches to understanding Africas conflicts and security concerns. Its investigation of competing analytical approaches to security complements discussions of current security issues in Africa. The journal strives to investigate the myriad issues relating to conflict and security within and between African nations not only from the more traditional approaches to security studies but also from more novel and innovative perspectives.In order to truly understand conflict in Africa existing paradigms in national and international security must be challenged. African security cannot be understood by applying only traditional theories and approaches to the study of international security and to this end African Security seeks to push the envelope of traditional security studies while remaining firmly grounded in the extant security issues facing Africa.While African Security is based in the disciplines of political science international relations and international security it welcomes theoretical challenges to how we understand conflict and security drawn from the perspectives of other disciplines such as anthropology development studies environmental studies and economics.

Impact Factor

Impact factor (IF) is a scientometric factor based on the yearly average number of citations on articles published by a particular journal in the last two years. A journal impact factor is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field. Find out more: What is a good impact factor?


III. Other Science Influence Indicators

Any impact factor or scientometric indicator alone will not give you the full picture of a science journal. There are also other factors such as H-Index, Self-Citation Ratio, SJR, SNIP, etc. Researchers may also consider the practical aspect of a journal such as publication fees, acceptance rate, review speed.
