Focus & Scope

Scientia Militaria investigates a broad spectrum of matters and issues relating to military affairs and
publishes both discipline-based and interdisciplinary research. The South African research community
is served by the journal’s focus on military studies. Other publications, like the African Security
Review or the Strategic Review of Southern Africa, place emphasis on security and strategic issues,
respectively, while Scientia Militaria serves the academic community interested in military issues as
well as the wider defence community.

The journal does not charge any APCs or submission charges. More importantly, it is DHET accredited, allowing researchers the opportunity to qualify for a subsidy from the South African Department of Higher Education and Training. Apart from academics, the journal has also attracted researchers from different backgrounds, experiences and sectors to publish their work. Furthermore, the journal’s editorial team has and continues to welcome research beyond our domestic borders despite its South African focus, which further adds to its rich and diverse character.
