The journal embraces the field in all its intellectual diversity, welcoming contributions to scholarly knowledge from the plural communities and research traditions that constitute the field. 

Security Studies is published five times a year by Taylor & Francis. Security Studies is headquartered at the University of California, Berkeley.
