Scope/Description:

Defence Studiesis a scholarly journal aimed at the study of contemporary defence and emergent warfare from both a theoretical and empiricalperspective. The scope of the journal is set to examine how armed forces seek to engage with conceptual strategic and operational challenges.We welcome papers that consider how states and nonstate actors think and determine insecurities through defence policies. The journal alsoencourages papers that engage with how defence strategy is constructed and operationalised. Following this we look for papers that exploreoperational deployment in conflict zones and alternative battlespaces. The journal is an arena for debate in and around defence studies from bothtraditional and critical studies. We welcome scholars who explore these debates in the areas of war studies strategic theory policy studies criticalsecurity as well as case study regional and global comparisons. The journal has recently published on force transformation cyber defence counterinsurgency COIN naval warfare and tactical nuclear strategy.Articles and essays are aimed at defence scholars analytics and professionals as well as those in war and conflict studies. The journal is especially keen to appeal to those working on defence from crossdisciplinary and policy perspectives. While we note the emphasis in relating to those looking for discussion and analysis without the depths of theoretical meandering we aim to indicate how the nature and character of war are influenced by the martial political economic and technoscientific fields. Submissions toDefence Studies will proceed through a doubleblind peer review process. Referees are drawn from proven defence and war studies experts in academia think tanks nongovernmental organisations and on occasion defence and police forces.

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.
