The inclusion of the Society and Security Insights Journal into DOAJ means many things, especially it will be the new platform for the dissemination of the scientific content of the journal, increasing visibility and citations of articles of authors from the Flagship Altai State University and its partners. 

It is a great succes for this ASU journal and its editorial team, a new step in its promoting and developing. 

We must emphasize the importance of the role of  Dr. A.V.  Matsyura, who skilfully guided the work of preparation for the journal to be submitted for consideration by the DOAJ experts.

We recall that the Directory of Open Access Journals was launched in 2003 in the Lund University in Sweden with only 300 journals in open access. Today the database contains information about thousands of scholarly journals in all domains of science, technics, medecine, social and humanitarian sciences. Over 2.5 million articles keep their meta-data in this database and this number is continually growing.
