The Journal of Military Operations, a new peer-reviewed academic journal, has just published its first issue. It is available online at https://www.tjomo.com/. You have to register, but it is free. Its editor, Dr Jim Storr, states on the Birmingham “On War” blog that it aims to fill a gap for a journal “which focuses on how armed forces do, and should, fight wars.”
This is a very promising venture, which fills a gap in the market and is free. Judging by the membership of the Editorial Advisory Panel, it should be a high quality publication:
- Jim Storr Editor
- William Owen Deputy Editor
- Rupert Smith Editorial Advisory Panel
- John Kiszely Editorial Advisory Panel
- Julian Thompson Editorial Advisory Panel
- Justin Kelly Editorial Advisory Panel
- Gary Sheffield Editorial Advisory Panel
- Karen Carr Editorial Advisory Panel
- Clint Ancker Editorial Advisory Panel
- Mike Crawshaw Editorial Advisory Panel
- John Wilson Editorial Advisory Panel
- Eado Hecht Editorial Advisory Panel
- Gerry Long Editorial Advisory Panel
It is produced by the IJ Group, which was founded by A. E Stahl. It already publishes the Infinity Journal, which describes itself as being
an online, peer-reviewed “journalzine” concerned with strategy as the product of consciously linking ends, ways, and means. We are interested in strategy at any level—from grand strategy to campaign strategy—and as regards any dimension—from nuclear weapons to cyber-power. We are as concerned with the theory as much as the practice of strategy, whether across cultures, across history, or as a way ahead.
You do have to register separately for the two journals, but doing so is quick.
