Author Submission Guidelines
The Journal of Military Learning (JML) is the U.S. Army’s premier peer-reviewed publication dedicated to advancing education and training for the U.S. Army and the broader military profession. The scope of the JML includes issues and challenges of adult education and training, such as education technology, adult learning models and theory, competency-based learning, distance learning, training development, and other subjects relevant to the field.
Manuscript Requirements
To be considered for publication, manuscripts must meet the following criteria:
- Align with the JML’s scope, covering adult learning, learning sciences, and learning technology
- Be 3,500 to 5,000 words in length, excluding abstract, references, and appendices
- Be formatted in Microsoft Word, double-spaced, with Times New Roman 12-point font
- Adhere to the 7th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA)
- Include manually typed references to prevent layout conflicts
- Feature a one-paragraph abstract summarizing the manuscript’s content
- Include charts, graphs, and figures that follow APA 7th edition style guidelines
- Include photos, if applicable, in JPEG format with a resolution of 300 dpi or higher, along with
- Origin specification
- Written authorization for use, if copyrighted
- Captions that adhere to APA 7th edition style guidelines
Refrain from submitting manuscripts that have been published, or are under consideration for publication elsewhere.
The JML will not consider for publication any manuscript failing to conform to the guidelines above. As a U.S. government publication, the JML does not have copyright protection, and published articles become public domain. As a result, other publications both in and out of the military have the prerogative of republishing manuscripts published in the JML.
Manuscripts can be submitted to usarmy.leavenworth.tradoc.mbx.armyu-journal-of-military-learning@army.mil. (The Combined Arms Center firewalls do not allow for document submissions by cell phone. Send through a computer.) Email the address above with any additional inquiries.
