The Revista Seguridad, Ciencia & Defensa is the annual scientific dissemination organ of the Universidad Nacional para la Defensa “General Juan Pablo Duarte y Diez” (UNADE), a specialized Dominican military higher education institution, coordinated by the Vice-Rectorate of Research and Innovation and published by the Research Department of UNADE.

The journal aligns its activities with the institution's nature and mission by developing the necessary academic structures and processes to ensure higher education in military careers, thus serving as an institution aimed at promoting and disseminating scientific research whose results address the needs of the Dominican Armed Forces in the field of national security and defense.

Peer Review
The Editorial Board will submit the received works to an arbitration system through two members of the Scientific Committee (blind peer review), who will examine each article based on relevance, coherence, contribution, quality, and style to decide on the suitability for publication. During the evaluation process, the anonymity of the reviewers is maintained since their selection is secret, and the anonymity of the author is ensured by submitting a blind version of the manuscript, removing any information that could identify them.
The evaluation process begins with the selection of experts on the topic in question. The article is then sent to them with a brief but flexible evaluation format.
The Editorial Committee sends the authors anonymous opinions and recommendations from the peer reviewers, with the review results being:
a. The article is accepted for publication.
b. The article is accepted with improvements from the authors.
c. The article is accepted with some suggestions.
d. The article could be accepted, but with significant corrections.
e. Rejected.
