Manuscripts can be accepted for publication by Scandinavian Military Studies in one of three forms:

1. traditional research articles
2. practice-oriented articles, i.e. systematic work, which is based on knowledge gained through research and practical experience, and which is strongly rooted in practice and especially aimed at solving practice-related issues; and finally
3. publications in book form, i.e. monographs, with a more personal mark.

Common to all publications is that they have been subjected to quality assurance and evaluation by the editorial board.
