Editorial Policy

Connections accepts original manuscripts in the range of 2,000 to 5,000 words, written in a lucid style for a target audience of informed defense and security affairs practitioners and academics.

All manuscripts should be submitted electronically through a member of the Editorial Board or the Connections editorial office and should feature the author’s name, current institutional affiliation, and a provisional title at the top of the first page, and should include footnotes where necessary.

We encourage authors to consider addressing our priority themes.

For questions on footnotes and references, please refer to the Chicago Manual of Style. For a quick citation guide you may refer to https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html.

Once published in English, each journal issue is translated and published in Russian, and is disseminated to Russian speaking audiences free of charge.

The Consortium’s family of publications is available at no cost. If you would like to order printed copies for your library, or if you have questions regarding the Consortium’s publications, please contact the PfPC Operations Staff using the contact information on this site.
