Author Guidelines

The Centre for Military and Strategic Studies seeks submissions to its multi-disciplinary electronic Journal published four times yearly in March, June, September and December.

The Journal is fully refereed and deals with a wide range of topics related to military, security, and strategic studies. Articles should be written to the standard pertaining in particular academic fields. The preferred style for footnotes is the Chicago Manual of Style format.

Articles submitted to the Journal for Military and Strategic Studies should be original contributions and should not be under consideration by another publication at the same time. If another version of the article is under consideration by another publication, or has been, or will be published elsewhere, authors should clearly indicate this at the time of submission and ensure that appropriate citation for the JMSS is included.

Articles will be sent to experts for review. Authors interested in making submissions can send articles by two means, on hard copy and disk by mail or, preferably, electronically as an attachment to an e-mail. The word-processing software and version used to generate the article (eg. Microsoft Word or Corel Wordperfect) must be clearly identified. Microsoft Word is preferred. The article will also be edited to fit JMSS style and format. Future issues will be devoted to certain themes, and authors are asked to contact the editors for more details or suggestions. Submissions should also be accompanied by a brief biographical note on the author(s) and by an abstract of not more than 150 words.
