Aims and Scope
The publication of Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Medicine is made possible through the generous support of University of Maryland University College (UMUC). For information about relevant degree programs and educational opportunities through UMUC please follow the link below.
Purpose:
The Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (JHSEM) publishes original, innovative, and timely articles describing research or practice in the fields of homeland security and emergency management. JHSEM publishes not only peer‑reviewed articles, but also news and communiqués from researchers and practitioners, as well as book/media reviews.
Content comes from a broad array of authors representing many professions, including emergency management, engineering, political science , decision science, and health and medicine, as well as from emergency management and homeland security practitioners. The journal seeks to provide new information and understanding of emergency management (EM) in the homeland security (HS) environment, and to foster a community of interest for the students and practitioners of these fields. A critical mission of JHSEM is to enrich the perspective of homeland security and emergency management research so that it can better match the operational diversity of the issues and requirements faced in these fields. As a result, we encourage content that is reflective of the expanding boundaries of the concept of homeland security to include, public health, cyber security and environmental policy.
JHSEM was created in 2004 to provide high-quality, peer-reviewed content in the newly emerging realm of homeland security and to discuss its relationship to emergency management (for natural, technological, industrial, and terrorism events). The electronic journal format allows us to offer high quality content on a broad range of topics, and to do so in a timely and inexpensive manner. However, beginning in 2012, we will also be providing paper-based copies of the journal for those who prefer to work with hard copies.
Scope. Our intent is to provide information and insights on homeland security and emergency management by featuring contributions from authors with essential knowledge and experience in a broad array of professions, including emergency management, engineering; political science/public administration/policy analysis, decision science, and health and medicine.
Aims and Objectives:
- To serve the needs of both the academic and practitioner communities by providing access to new information, knowledge, analysis and developments in the respective fields
- Enabling the community of interest to have access to the resources in an efficient and economical way
- To meet the need for peer-reviewed, high quality, wide ranging professional articles delivered via the Internet;
- To augment the work of the existing professional societies and single discipline publications.
