Important Notices
When it comes to publishing your papers, we're a stickler for following guidelines. So, be sure to read the instructions before you submit to us.
Deadlines: Rolling submissions, with articles being selected for specific Issues.
1. Who's eligible? Anyone
2. We will do our best to offer explanations should a paper not be accepted.
3. Should IJ decide to publish your piece, the article may not be published in another publication unless you receive our written consent (Usually not a problem). If you have any questions, contact us before your piece is published.
4. Submissions are rolling but If Infinity has agreed to publish your paper, submit your work sooner rather than later, as pieces will be placed in specific Issues.
5. If you are a Uni student, we will accept papers you have written for your university, so long as they have been reviewed and marked by a lecturer/peer. If you choose to send us a university paper, it must be reworked to fit IJ's 'casual' style journalzine framework and it must fit our 3,000 maximum word count. There may be other issues involved, so contact us first.
6. Please do not submit dissertations/theses unless they have been properly reworked to fit the IJ framework. This includes focusing on 'strategy' (the ethos of the journalzine) as well as style and word count (3,000).
7. If you have any questions at all, please contact us at any time. We will respond as quickly as possible.

· Articles on Strategic History, but not Military History.
· Articles that use evidence and empirical observation over opinion.
· Articles that are well written, structured, intelligent and even provocative or witty, without being simplistic, vacuous, slanderous or rude.

NOTE: Please keep rigid language and complexity to minimum and comprehensible language and simplicity to a maximum. Our goal is to get your work read by the widest possible audience.

What we do not want
· No articles that seek to predict the future. No political prognosticating or foreign policy predictions.
