Have an article to submit? See guidance below:
Contributors should email articles to the editorial board (EB) for review. Articles are subject to peer review. Submit all articles in Microsoft Word format to editor@faoa.org in order to begin the peer review process and to be considered for publication.
Articles should be between 1,000 and 3,000 words in length, not including endnotes, preferably in 12-point Times New Roman. Longer pieces and papers may be submitted, but may be truncated for publishing, or published as an abstract with a link to download the full version. Articles should be written in ‘plain English,’ avoid military jargon, be either directly or indirectly related to the FAO profession and avoid overly partisan political stances.
Figures and Tables are acceptable. Tables should be upright on the page and have a short, one-line title in bold text. Figures should be as small, simple, and add clarity. Avoid unnecessary complexity, coloring, and excessive detail. If your article has embedded links or videos, be sure to test the link and make sure it still works before submission. Photos add value to an article if appropriate to the text. Authors should insert photos into the text, but they may be moved by the EB Chairman to adjust for spacing. All photos require a caption, and identification of the photo's owner, whether an author's work, or credited to outside source.
Authors are responsible for obtaining all necessary approvals and/or security clearances from their institution/organization PRIOR to submitting material. Also include any disclaimers required by your chain of command. The Journal will not become involved in clearance determinations.
When submitting an article or book review, authors need to include full name of all authors, author service and rank (if appropriate), current position and/or assignment of author(s), number of words, and telephone number. Include a short bio of author(s), and a personal picture.
Articles are subject to editing by the FAO Journal Staff to ensure that space constraints of the publication are met, and all submissions are subject to minor editing for format, brevity and grammar as required. The Journal is a peer-reviewed publication, and all articles are reviewed by the Journal Editorial Board for appropriateness, content, organization, and presentation to determine suitability for publication in the FAO Assn Journal. Once approved by the editorial board, content is published via www.FAOAjournal.substack.com.
