About the Journal

CBRNE Defense Studies (CDS) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the scientific, technical, and strategic aspects of defending against Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive threats. Our mission is to provide an integrated platform for disseminating research that enhances global security, operational readiness, and post-incident resilience through interdisciplinary innovation. The CDS journal welcomes original research and reviews in technical evaluations and strategic analyses in the following areas: (1) Advancement of chemical sciences to detect, identify, and mitigate the risks posed by Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs); studies in detection & identifications (chemical sensors), protective material sciences, decontamination & neutralization of radiological and nuclear elements, chemical forensics and toxicology, and high-energetics material. (2) Bioscience Foundations (Molecular biology, microbiology, and immunology related to high-consequence pathogens and emerging infectious diseases), Medical Countermeasures (Innovation in the development of vaccines, therapeutics, and rapid diagnostics for biodefense), Biosurveillance and Detection (Advances in environmental sensing, genomic sequencing, and data analytics for early warning systems), Biosecurity and Policy (Analysis of dual-use research of concern, international bioweapons conventions, and national biodefense strategies), Biosafety and Risk Management (Best practices for laboratory safety, containment technologies, and agricultural biosecurity), Public Health Preparedness (Strategies for emergency response, crisis communication, and pandemic modeling).
