Important Update

IJNS is not currently accepting new submissions. Due to a lack of institutional staff, the journal is unable to take on new submissions at this time. We are closing new submissions to focus on volume 9, issues 1 and 3. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Mission

The mission of the International Journal of Nuclear Security is to share and promote research and best practices in all areas of nuclear security. It provides an open-access, multi-disciplinary forum for scholarship and discussion. The journal encourages diversity in theoretical foundations, research methods, and approaches, asking contributors to analyze and include implications for policy and practice.

IJNS was launched in 2015 to fill the need for an open, international, scholarly discussion about nuclear security issues and insights among scholars, students, practitioners, and experts from academia, government, industry, and the private sector—as well as from the intelligence, military, and law enforcement communities.
