Author Guidelines

  1. Objective and policy of the Security and Land Power Magazine

    The Security and Land Power Journal publishes unpublished and original research articles related to Security, Defense, and the Military Profession, which are reviewed by external peers who have previously published similar research. The evaluations are carried out anonymously and deal with the quality and validity of the arguments expressed in the articles.

    Likewise, to guarantee the research experience of the person submitting an article, at least a master's degree will be required. If the article has more than one author, a master's degree will be required for all the authors of said article.

     

  2. Ethics in publication

    If any offense against the ethics of the academic publication is detected during the review process or after the publication of the article, the journal will act following the international standards of publication ethics and will take the corresponding legal actions to sanction the author of fraud.

     

  3. Form and preparation of articles

    1. General rules

      Every article submitted to the Security and Land Power Magazine must deal with issues related to Security, Defense, and the Military Profession, considered in the four areas of research of the Peruvian Army Center for Strategic Studies (CEEEP): (1) Evaluation Strategic, (2) Strategic Anticipation, (3) Strategic Art and Earth Power, and (4) Strategic Leadership and Institutional Management. Likewise, the articles must have the condition of being unpublished and original, being subject to peer review (double-blind system).

      The magazine has two sections: (1) Main Section (focused on the four areas of study of CEEEP or a central theme selected for an edition of the magazine), and (2) Miscellaneous (focused on additional content -such as comments and book review- or on topics related to Security and Defense in case the Main Section has focused on a different topic).

       

    2. Mandatory documentation
