Guidelines for Contributors

The editor invites the submission of unpublished manuscripts on all topics related to international and national defence and security issues, as well as military history.

Submissions should be between 3,000 and 4,500 words, including references and endnotes. We also invite a limited number of longer articles (up to 6,000 words) for consideration. One electronic copy of the manuscript, together with the author's short biography and contact details, should be sent to the editor via e-mail at publications@rusi.org

Contributors are requested to read and adhere to the Institute's style guide for external writers, an electronic copy (pdf) of which can be downloaded by clicking here. Please pay particular care to the Institute's referencing style, the improper application of which will cause delay or rejection.

Forthcoming submission deadlines are as follows:

Monday 6 September 2010 for the October/November 2010 issue
Monday 1 November 2010 for the December 2010 issue
Monday 10 January 2011 for the February/March 2011 issue
Monday 7 March 2011 for the April/May 2011 issue.

Simultaneous submission to other publications must be indicated.

All submissions are rigorously peer reviewed. Authors will be notified of the Editorial Board's decision within six weeks of submission.

Authors alone are responsible for the content of their respective papers. The opinions and conclusions expressed in articles written by RUSI Staff and RUSI Fellows do not necessarily represent the views of the Institute.

It is the policy of the Journal to give the fullest freedom to contributors and correspondents. Only by doing so can the Institute carry out the terms of its charter. The Institute reserves the right to edit contributions to the Journal for space and clarity.
