International Journal of Nuclear Security

The International Journal of Nuclear Security (IJNS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access, and multidisciplinary journal published in English by the Institute for Nuclear Security at the University of Tennessee. IJNS aims to act as a forum to share and promote research and best practices in all areas of nuclear security. 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 provide an open, international platform for rigorous scholarly discussion on nuclear security. It facilitates the exchange of insights among scholars, students, and practitioners. Participants include experts from academia, government, and industry, as well as representatives from the intelligence, military, and law enforcement communities.

IJNS holds the distinction of being the oldest academic journal at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. It has reached over 4,000 educational, governmental, and private institutions across more than 200 countries.
