Mission and Goals of the Journal "Human, Systems, Security" – a semi-annual journal of the State Academy of Applied Sciences in Przemyśl

"Human, Systems, Security" is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary scientific semi-annual journal published by the State Academy of Applied Sciences in Przemyśl, affiliated with the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities. The journal provides a platform for the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of research results in the broad field of security, both at the individual, institutional, and systemic levels. The studies published in its pages are both theoretical and empirical, covering areas relevant to security sciences, legal sciences, political and administrative sciences, as well as sociology and psychology. Particular attention is paid to issues related to the role of humans as subjects and participants in security systems, the functioning of state institutions in the face of contemporary challenges, and the complex social and psychological conditions that determine the effectiveness of actions in the sphere of public and international security. "Human, Systems, Security" provides a forum for reflection on current political, legal, and social processes, analyzed through the lens of security as a fundamental value for the functioning of communities and states. The journal is addressed to academics, experts, practitioners, and young researchers who engage in rigorous reflection on the condition of contemporary security systems and their evolution in a dynamic civilizational environment.

Journal Mission

The mission of the journal "Human, Systems, Security" is to integrate the achievements of selected scientific disciplines – particularly security sciences, legal sciences, political and administrative sciences, sociology, and psychology – for the purpose of comprehensive analysis, interpretation, and explanation of complex phenomena in the contemporary world in the area of ​​individual, societal, and state security. The journal is an interdisciplinary forum for scholarly reflection, whose ambition is not only to describe the mechanisms of security systems but also to critically evaluate them, search for new paradigms, and promote innovative solutions. Humans occupy a special place here – perceived both as creators and users, as well as direct beneficiaries of security systems in dynamically changing social, political, and cultural conditions. Addressing contemporary challenges – such as the globalization of risk, technological transformations, the redefinition of societal security, the erosion of institutional trust, and the growing importance of mental resilience and social capital – the journal aspires to be a platform for creative exchange between science and practice. Published texts are intended not only to enrich scientific achievements but also to inspire deeper reflection and operational action in the area of ​​shaping a secure and sustainable social order.

Journal Profile

The semi-annual scientific journal "Human, Systems, Security" provides a platform for the exchange of ideas for a wide audience representing diverse groups involved in shaping and analyzing contemporary security systems. The journal is particularly addressed to the academic community – research fellows, doctoral candidates, and students of fields related to security sciences, legal sciences, political and administrative sciences, psychology, and sociology. At the same time, the journal welcomes substantive contributions from practitioners – representatives of public administration, uniformed services, non-governmental organizations, as well as experts from the internal and international security sectors. The editorial team places particular emphasis on interdisciplinary publications that combine theoretical reflection with empirical research findings and practical experience. We consider high scientific value to be the foundation for the development of academic discourse on security in the broad sense – understood not only as a state but also as a process, system, and subject of cognitive analysis. The editorial team promotes studies based on rigorous methodology, original research approach, and significant cognitive and applied significance.
