This Journal of Police Emergency Response: An International Journal of Hostage Negotiations and Crisis Intervention will entertain the submission of any solid research or practical methodology that would speak to the needs of those in the police service and corrections who respond to critical emergencies such as, but not limited to, hostage, crisis and other high risk situations. The journal is an outlet for scholars, psychologists, sociologists, criminologists, social scientists, police officers, corrections officers, emergency mangers, students, military personnel and others publishing on topics which include but are not limited to:
Hostage negotiation; Crisis Intervention Teams; Homeland Security; Cyber-terrorism; emergency management and natural disasters; Low Intensity conflict and hostage rescue; Drones; Terrorism; Extremist groups and gangs; Swat teams; Correctional mental health and security. The best approach for increased submissions would be to encourage articles where an academic pairs with a police officer to write an academic article. The journal will also encourage case studies and book reviews, and will endeavor to be inclusive rather than exclusive in our editorial manuscript selection process.
SAGE Open publishes peer-reviewed, original research and review articles in an interactive, open access format. Accepted articles span the full extent of the social and behavioral sciences and the humanities.
SAGE Open seeks to be the world’s premier open access outlet for academic research. As such, unlike traditional journals, SAGE Open does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Rather, SAGE Open evaluates the scientific and research methods of each article for validity and accepts articles solely on the basis of the research. This approach allows readers greater access and gives them the power to determine the significance of each article through SAGE Open’s interactive comments feature and article-level usage metrics. Likewise, by not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, SAGE Open facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers, whether within or between disciplines.
SAGE Open offers authors quick review and decision times; a speedy, continuous-publication format; and global distribution for their research via SAGE Journals Online. All articles are professionally copyedited and typeset to ensure quality.
Those who should submit to SAGE Open include:
- Authors who want their articles to receive quality reviews and efficient production, ensuring the quickest publication time.
- Authors who want their articles to receive free, broad, and global distribution on a powerful, highly discoverable publishing platform.
- Authors who want their articles branded and marketed by a world-leading social science publisher.
