Aim and Scope

The double-blind peer-reviewed journal Vojenské reflexie was established in 2006 and is issued by the Armed Forces Academy, which is a state military university with a long history of scientific research in the field of security, defence and the military. Since 2006, it has been published as a peer-reviewed journal. At present, the academy cooperates with partners from military and civilian universities and other renowned specialized institutions from the Slovak Republic as well as from abroad

Until 2020, the journal was published in both print and electronic formats; since 2021, it has been published exclusively online. The journal has thus gradually strengthened its international profile and scientific visibility. It has been included in the Erih+ database since 2021 and in the DOAJ database since 2021. As part of the journal’s further development, a decision was made to accept manuscripts in English starting in 2021. This change contributed to a rapid increase in interest among international authors and to the expansion of the journal’s international reach. In 2026, the journal Vojenské reflexie celebrated the 25th anniversary of its founding.

The objectives of the journal Vojenské reflexie are:

• to facilitate the presentation and sharing of the latest scientific findings from both domestic and international sources in the fields of security, defense, and military affairs;

• to create a communication bridge for the comprehensive exchange of information and experiences between the Armed Forces and civilian security agencies;

• to foster scientific and professional discussion on issues related to security, defense, and military affairs.

The journal Vojenské reflexie is intended for contributors and readers from the security community, members of the armed forces, academic teachers, students and other readers interested in the following:

• security and strategic studies,

• operational art and tactics,

• economy and management of defence resources,

• social studies and humanities,

• political science and international affairs,

• military technologies and technological studies,

• military and police theory and practice,

• lifelong and career education.
