Journal Title：International Journal Of Critical Infrastructure Protection

The International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection (IJCIP) was launched in 2008, with the primary aim of publishing scholarly papers of the highest quality in all areas of critical infrastructure protection. Of particular interest are articles that weave science, technology, law and policy to craft sophisticated yet practical solutions for securing assets in the various critical infrastructure sectors. These critical infrastructure sectors include: information technology, telecommunications, energy, banking and finance, transportation systems, chemicals, critical manufacturing, agriculture and food, defense industrial base, public health and health care, national monuments and icons, drinking water and water treatment systems, commercial facilities, dams, emergency services, nuclear reactors, materials and waste, postal and shipping, and government facilities. Protecting and ensuring the continuity of operation of critical infrastructure assets are vital to national security, public health and safety, economic vitality, and societal wellbeing.

The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to:

1. Analysis of security challenges that are unique or common to the various infrastructure sectors.

2. Identification of core security principles and techniques that can be applied to critical infrastructure protection.

3. Elucidation of the dependencies and interdependencies existing between infrastructure sectors and techniques for mitigating the devastating effects of cascading failures.

4. Creation of sophisticated, yet practical, solutions, for critical infrastructure protection that involve mathematical, scientific and engineering techniques, economic and social science methods, and/or legal and public policy constructs.

《國際關鍵基礎設施保護雜志》（IJCIP）于 2008 年創辦，主要目的是出版關鍵基礎設施保護各個領域的最高質量的學術論文。特別令人感興趣的是將科學、技術、法律和政策交織在一起的文章，旨在為保護各個關鍵基礎設施部門的資產制定復雜而實用的解決方案。這些關鍵基礎設施部門包括：信息技術、電信、能源、銀行和金融、交通系統、化學品、關鍵制造業、農業和食品、國防工業基地、公共衛生和醫療保健、國家紀念碑和標志、飲用水和水處理系統、商業設施、水壩、應急服務、核反應堆、材料和廢物、郵政和航運以及政府設施。保護和確保關鍵基礎設施資產的持續運行對國家安全、公共衛生和安全、經濟活力和社會福祉至關重要。

該期刊的范圍包括但不限于：

1. 分析各個基礎設施部門獨有或共同的安全挑戰。

2.確定可應用于關鍵基礎設施保護的核心安全原則和技術。

3. 闡明基礎設施部門之間存在的依賴關系和相互依賴關系，以及減輕連鎖故障破壞性影響的技術。

4. 為關鍵基礎設施保護創建復雜而實用的解決方案，涉及數學、科學和工程技術、經濟和社會科學方法以及/或法律和公共政策結構。
