ISA members are invited to contribute to a new, open-access and peer-reviewed journal – Stability: International Journal of Security & Development. Stability aims to bring inter-disciplinary perspectives to a wide range of issues at the security-development nexus, including but not limited to: conflict prevention/risk reduction, peace-building, governance and state-building, organised crime and trafficking, security sector reform, judicial reform, public administration reform, peacekeeping, stability operations/stabilisation and whole-of-government or whole-of-system approaches in fragile and conflict-affected contexts. Content should be informative and reflect a grasp of the relevant academic literature, though it is equally crucial that articles be presented in an accessible manner suitable for policymakers and practitioners. All content in Stability is widely shared throughout policy and practice communities, and we are particularly interested in submissions from authors whose pieces have some degree of practical significance. Hence, we accept three kinds of articles, including Research Articles (5,000-8,000 words) based on original research, Practice Notes (2,000-4,000 words) based on practical expertise and, lastly, Commentaries (1,000-2,000 words) from recognised experts such as diplomats, senior IO/NGO personnel and others. All content in Stability is published online and as a PDF, and Stability is included in all major journal article indices and databases. Articles are accepted on an ongoing basis and, in line with open-access standards, are published as soon as they have been finalised. Hence, we are particularly well suited for authors whose research is both impact-oriented and timely. Authors can find more information and submit manuscripts online at www.stabilityjournal.org or by contacting the editors at info@stabilityjournal.org.
