Call for Papers: Cybersecurity Skills Journal (and earn CPEs!)

lmbcissp — Wed, 20 Feb 2019 15:28:46 GMT

Cybersecurity Skills Journal: Practice and Research is a hybrid-access scholarly publication focused exclusively on cybersecurity skills. It seeks to raise the capability maturity of the cybersecurity workforce through open and free dissemination of research on evidence-based practices and private access to digital tools and practice guides.

The journal is international in scope and is uniquely positioned to reach both academic and practitioner audiences. Upon publication, Cybersecurity Skills Journal (CSJ) articles are distributed widely to individuals and organizations through the National CyberWatch Center Digital Press and affiliated publishing organizations, and are available to a global audience of over 300 institutions and 35,000 potential readers.

Writing a paper on skills development --your research of effective practices, or a theoretical article or case studies-- not only helps others learn what actually works, but if your paper is published, you can earn CPEs for your ISC(2) cert.

CSJ seeks to advance knowledge and practice in all areas of the cybersecurity profession with papers addressing areas such as:

Theoretical/conceptual research with implications for cybersecurity capabilities
Original empirical research on effective practices
In-depth, systematic reviews of the research and literature in specific areas of evidence-based practice
Case studies or other qualitative analyses demonstrating the application of innovative tactics, techniques and protocols which highlight critical or often overlooked skill requirements for cybersecurity professionals
Research on cybersecurity professional practice and performance requirements
Unique challenges encountered by cybersecurity professionals in applying their knowledge, skill and abilities
Instructional designs or materials, assessments, or practice/challenge lab designs that may raise capability maturity in students and professionals

Are you a practitioner with an idea, but you've never written a paper before? Do you have a draft paper that doesn't seem to fit with other peer-reviewed journals? The CSJ editorial process will help authors of promising content develop their paper.

Interested in submitting an article? Contact Dr. David Tobey, Managing Editor (dhtobey [at] indiana [dot] edu)

(But these days I prefer opining 🙂

(Besides, I've got more than enough CPEs ...)

Thanks - it's not really *my* venture, but a cause I believe in... uh...wait, no, let me walk that back: it is a purpose I am willing to spend time on.

And I'm very familiar with your opining. I've been a lurker elsewhere for more than a decade, though almost never post in that other place, although I read more of that content.
