The Journal of Critical Infrastructure Policy (JCIP) is an independent academic platform dedicated to advancing research, policy analysis, and cross-sector dialogue on the protection, management, and resilience of critical infrastructure systems. Originally associated with a specialized policy initiative, this domain is now privately operated and editorially independent, functioning as an informational hub for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.

We are committed to publishing fact-based, peer-informed content on the evolving challenges and opportunities in critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, transportation, water systems, cybersecurity, emergency preparedness, and urban resilience.

The Journal of Critical Infrastructure Policy (JCIP) is a peer-reviewed journal whose mission is to accelerate the improvement of critical infrastructure and community resilience. Our aspiration is to impact the development of policy and targeted strategies that –by scope and scale– are capable of addressing the serious challenges facing critical infrastructures on which society depends.
