Information Security Journal: A Global Perspective aims to cover a diverse range of subjects and concepts that are related to Information Security. We seek to provide insight into current professional information security related issues by expanding on research and development, new technologies, tools and practises, and future challenges.
The main focus of the journal is to provide insight into the field by offering a venue that welcomes contributions from academics and information security practitioners on original research and review papers.
We welcome submissions that cover the following wider areas of interest:
• Information Security Management Practices • Information Risk Assessment and Management • Information Systems Engineering • Information Security Architecture and Models • Law, Investigation, and Ethics in Information Security • Network Security • Digital Forensics Practises • Incident Response • Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning • Information Operations • Application and Systems Security Design and Development • Information Assurance and Governance • Human Behaviour for Information Security • Information Security Testing and Assessment
All papers undergo an initial review by the journal’s editor-in-chief. After a positive initial review, papers undergo an anonymized review process by two or more subject matter experts. Reviews are received by the editor-in-chief, who then provides the author with an editor’s report. Visit our Instructions for Authors page for information on preparing your manuscript.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
