Journal of Human Security cover image

The goal of Journal of Human Security is to disseminate applied research into a secure and sustainable future for humanity. It endeavours to:

  • Provide a forum for researchers to foster interdisciplinary inquiry in broad human security issues such as track two diplomacy, ethnic conflict, terrorism, religious extremism, human rights, demographic change, population health, human ecology, sustainable economics and related areas
  • Inform readers about upcoming events, ongoing and new research projects, trends and discussions, newly published monographs, and available scholarships
  • Encourage a multidisciplinary approach to issues that have traditionally been viewed as mostly unidisciplinary
  • Maintain an appeal to a wide readership with both high academic standards and close relevance to practice
  • Meet international standards of excellence.

Journal of Human Security is indexed by Scopus and is a member of CrossRef and CrossCheck. As well as being hosted by its primary partner Informit, Journal of Human Security is available via Gale, ALPSP Learned Journals Collection, EBSCO and H. W. Wilson journal databases.
