Policy

Information & Security: An International Journal  (I&S) covers scientific, technological, organizational, and policy issues related to national, international, and societal security in the Information age, C4ISR technologies and systems, information operations, and cyber security. The Journal provides a forum for exchange of information on the state of the art, new findings, novel ideas and requirements of IT and security professionals and presents latest research, conducted ‘on the bridge’ between the two communities.

I&S is an open access, peer-reviewed journal published in English in print (ISSN 0861-5160, previously 1311-1493) and online (ISSN 1314-2119). Each I&S volume covers a specific topic and is edited by a member of the Editorial Board or by a Guest Editor. I&S abstracts and full-text articles are freely available on the public internet, permitting any user to read, download, search, or link to the full texts of I&S articles at their original location on the I&S website, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. Limited printing, photocopying and distribution for personal or educational use are permitted, too.
