Güvenlik Stratejileri Dergisi is a double-blind, peer-reviewed, and interdisciplinary journal published triannually in April, August, and December. The Journal was first published open-access by the Strategic Research Institute (SRI) of Turkish War Colleges in 2005 and has continued its publication life uninterrupted since then. The Journal’s publishing rights have been transferred to the Atatürk Strategic Studies and Graduate Institute (ATASAREN), established under the Turkish National Defence University in 2016.
Since becoming an international peer-reviewed journal in December 2011, Güvenlik Stratejileri Dergisi has been published timely and appropriately according to scientific criteria, starting from its very first issue. The Journal is now indexed in EBSCO (Academic Search Complete), Central and Eastern Online Library (CEEOL), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) as well as in the Social Sciences and Humanities Database within ULAKBIM (National Academic Network and Information Center), which is under TÜBİTAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey). In addition, we do our best for the journal to be indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), which indexes only a few journals published in the field of social science in our country.
