Submission Guidelines to A&SR

The guiding principle of the Air & Space Reflections is to leverage the archival holdings across the Department of Air Force (DAF) by providing today’s decision-makers with timely historical parallels to current strategy, operations, and events. Air & Space Reflections adheres to the following guidelines regarding article submissions:

• - Article submissions will only be accepted by current DAF historians, archivists, and curators that explore historic issues related to the DAF’s current lines of efforts to:
  1. 1. Develop People
  2. 2. Generate Readiness
  3. 3. Project Power
  4. 4. Develop Capabilities
• - Article submissions should highlight documents, artifacts, imagery, and other ephemera located in the Air Force Historical Research Agency’s (AFHRA) archive or field repositories.
• - Article submissions must rely solely on unclassified, publicly releasable documents.
• - Articles submissions should consist of no more than 10,000 words, including accompanying endnotes.
• - All article submissions will be considering under a rolling admission calendar.
• - Article submissions from field unit history offices with a current, on-time program (i.e. a satisfactory annual unit history report within the last two calendar years) and endorsement from their respective MAJCOM history office will be viewed more favorably than delinquent programs.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-generated articles are not permitted in Air & Space Reflections, however authors who use generative AI in developing their topics must disclose the use of AI tools during their submission process.

• Outside submissions are currently only open to Department of Air Force historians, archivists, and curators. Active-duty, other DoD civilian, federal historians, and the general public may suggest research topics through our contact us module or emailing the Studies & Interviews Division directly.
