For Submissions to the Sentinel Journal and Sentinel Review
Zenodo Community: Sentinel Research Publications

Scope and Mission

The Sentinel Research Society (SRS) accepts submissions to its two primary publications:

  • The Sentinel Journal: A peer-reviewed, graduate-to-doctoral level academic journal focused on national security, strategy, statecraft, intelligence, and counterintelligence.

  • The Sentinel Review: A curated, editorially-reviewed magazine that offers policy commentary, analytical essays, and strategic insights intended for a broader audience of policymakers, practitioners, and students.

All submissions must align with the mission of SRS: to advance rigorous, nonpartisan research on complex national security challenges through academically grounded and policy-relevant work.

Review and Approval Process

All submissions undergo a multi-tiered editorial process to ensure scholarly integrity and alignment with the publication’s objectives:

  1. Initial Editorial Review
    Upon submission, each article is screened by the editorial board for thematic relevance, clarity, and compliance with formatting standards.

  2. Peer Review (Sentinel Journal only)
    Articles submitted to the Sentinel Journal will be subject to a formal peer review process by at least two qualified reviewers with subject-matter expertise. This process is double-blind and typically completed within 4–6 weeks.

  3. Editorial Review (Sentinel Review)
    Submissions to the Sentinel Review are reviewed by members of the editorial team for intellectual rigor, clarity, and relevance to ongoing policy debates. While not peer-reviewed, these submissions must meet professional editorial standards.

  4. Final Approval
    All accepted articles—whether academic or editorial in nature—will require final approval by the Editor-in-Chief prior to publication on Zenodo and/or the official Sentinel website.

Formatting and Style Requirements

All articles must be submitted in Chicago Manual of Style (17th edition) using full-note footnotes (not in-text citations or endnotes). Submissions that do not adhere to this style may be returned for correction prior to formal review.
