Ten Commandments for Proceedings Writers Writing for U.S. Naval Institute Publications To qualify as an article in Proceedings Naval History, a manuscript must have fewer than 3,500 words.
Constructive controversy is welcome.
After passing an initial screening by the editors and publisher, article manuscripts are evaluated by members of the Editorial Board who also set the rate of payment for accepted articles. Please supply your home and office phone numbers, as well as your Social Security number, with all submissions. If you are already keying your work into a computer, we ask that you include an IBM compatible diskette with submissions. The Naval Review, which since 1970 has been published as the May issue of Proceedings, follows a different procedure. The authors are commissioned at a set rate to write on specific topics.
