Within 2�12, the Editorial Board has changed its constituency, gaining a few prestigious members of our university, as well as of other universities in Romania and abroad. There can also be seen changes as far as Scientific Board is concerned – apart from permanent members, the journal benefited by the contribution and expertise of “Carol I” National Defence University professors in specialised fields of Military Sciences. Likewise, the editorial staff has been functioning in a new formula. The Scientific Council of CDSSS had adopted in 2�12 several minute editorial changes, which we are sure that our attentive readers have noticed: renaming the second theme, including in our journal articles dealing with elements and aspects regarding intelligence community, standardisation of authors’ presentations etc. Likewise, the guide for authors was permanently updated in order to comply with the editorial exigencies of international databases. Regarding the road of the articles submitted for publication, they are first subject to anantiplagiarism analysis (for details, see www.strikeplagiarism.com), then being scientifically evaluated according to the principle double blind peer-review in conformity with objective principles. The evaluators’ rigor translating in recommendations brought to the authors contribute to maintaining and raising the quality of published materials. Regarding national recognition, up to this year, our publication was classified as a B+ magazine by the National University Research Council in Romania. Starting with 2�12, Strategic Impact presents itself as a scientific magazine with acknowledged prestige in the field of Military Science, Information and Public Order according to National Council for Titles, Diplomas and Certificates (CNATDCU). Referring to international visibility, the publication was accepted this year to be included in two prestigious international databases: EBSCO (USA) and ProQuest database (USA). Concomitantly, the magazine will continue to be indexed in CEEOL (Central and Eastern European Online Library, Germany) and Index Copernicus International (Poland). International appreciation of the magazine’s quality is also confirmed by its indexation, starting with this year, in the list of publications of NATO Multimedia Library. We have observed that due to inclusion of the journal in the new international databases, the interest to publish in Strategic Impact has grown, the publication benefiting, in the analysed period, by the constant contribution of foreign authors from the Slovakia, Poland, Turkey, Hungary, Republic of Moldova, Serbia
