War & Society
A Journal of the History of Warfare and its Impact on Society (published twice a year)
WAR & SOCIETY publishes scholarly articles on the causes, experience and impact of war in all periods of history. While articles dealing with the technical and operational aspects of warfare are considered for publication, the journal's main emphasis is on the broader relationships between warfare and society.
The journal which is published in two issues as one volume, in May and October each year, has established a wide international readership.
The scope of articles published since the first issue of War & Society in May 1983 ranges in time from Ancient Greece to the 20th century and geographically from the USSR and Europe to North America, Africa, Asia, New Zealand and Australia. It is editorial policy to maintain the broad scope of the journal.

Style Guidelines for Contributors
Articles should normally not exceed 10,000 words, exclusive of endnotes. Shorter articles are most welcome. Articles, including notes, should be typed double spaced on one side of A4 paper, with 3 cm margins on both sides. They may be submitted on an IBM or, preferably, an Apple Macintosh disk. They may also be submitted as an email attachment (preferably in rtf) to warsoc@adfa.edu.au.
Detailed style sheets are available on request. In general, the style of articles already published should be followed; follow the Oxford English Dictionary for spelling. Single quotation marks should be used, with double marks enclosing quotations within quotations. Dates in the text and in the notes should be written in full: 3 September 1939. Abbreviated forms such as USA should not use full stops between individual letters. Numbers should be written in full to ten, and should have no comma to 9999 but then should be 10,000 and so on.
The following style is required for notes which should be limited to references and not contain substantive information:
1. Pamela M. Graves, Labour women: women in British working-class politics, 1918–1939 (Cambridge/New York: Cambridge University Press, 1994), 52.
2. Daniel J. Sherman, ‘Objects of Memory: History and Narrative in French War Museums’, French Historical Studies 19: 1 (1972), 207-13.
3. Graves, Labour Women, 56-7.
4. Ibid., 62.
Thus, for subsequent references use ibid. or a short title as appropriate; do not use op. cit. or loc. cit. Page numbers should not be preceded by p. or pp. Abbreviate chapter as ch. but use vol. only where volume reference is to a composite publication or series title. For archival references, the order should be as follows: Minute by Morrison, 13 October 1942, FO 837/1213.
