Editorial guidelines |
The Journal of the Australian War Memorial is an occasional publication, for the purpose of advancing the Memorial's mission of remembering and interpreting the Australian experience of war and, more generally, in order to disseminate research into Australian military history.
Scope
The Journal welcomes submissions of up to 8,000 words. Articles are anonymously reviewed before acceptance. Intending contributors should discuss their proposals with the Editor.
The Journal publishes articles on all aspects of Australian military history, including those dealing with the social and cultural impact of war, with the political and diplomatic context of war, and with the related experience of allied forces.
Authors are encouraged to consider the material cultural aspect of their topics. This may mean, for instance, taking into account photographic, battlefield or archaeological evidence. It may mean giving particular consideration to the nature of archival evidence. Articles on war art, photography or cinematography are welcome. The Journal does not specialise in militaria but authors should not be discouraged from submitting articles which place uniforms, equipment and technology at the centre of their analysis.
Authors who feel that study of the Memorial's museum collections can enhance their work should contact the Editor to discuss access to the collections.
Illustrations
Suggestions for illustrations are welcome. Where desirable, photographs of items from the Memorial's collection can be arranged by discussing these requirements with the Editor.
Submitting an article
Articles must be submitted in either Microsoft Word or RTF, and must be emailed to journal@awm.gov.au. An abstract of no more than 300 words must also be included.
