From its beginnings, the goal of the American Public University System’s scholarly publications has been to disseminate new research and findings from academic researchers across the globe. APUS journals cover a wide variety of disciplines from online learning to space education. All of our journals are double-blind peer-reviewed and are published biannually.
The first journal, Internet Learning, later changed in 2020 to the Journal of Online Learning & Practice (JOLRAP), was founded in the fall of 2012 and continues to grow in both contributions and readership. In the spring of 2015, Saber & Scroll, a journal focusing on any historical or military history topic, began publication. Saber & Scroll is unique as it offers a venue for scholarly submissions from APUS graduate and undergraduate students, as well as alumni.
Three years later in 2015, the Global Security & Intelligence Studies (GSIS) journal was developed to represent our longstanding leadership in this respective discipline. The third journal, the International Journal of Open Educational Resources (IJOER) was founded and is proudly recognized as the first journal devoted solely to open educational resources (OER) and to utilize Blockchain technology. The Space Education & Strategic Applications (SESA) journal presents APUS’s latest explorations into the space community, focusing on the most recent advances in space education and research, and space applications in this rapidly expanding field.
American Public University System understands the importance of the publication of scholarship within the academic community and will continue to expand knowledge and engage in intellectual discourse with our readership. We look forward to continuing to lead scholarly publishing in new and innovative ways.
