DAC seeks to publish high quality research that consists of original qualitative or quantitative research that may include interview reports, case histories, research experiments, and research briefs. DAC’s content also includes articles which review the literature or deal with theoretical issues stated in the literature as well as book reviews.
Articles will be assessed on two main criteria: (1) the degree to which the article contributes new knowledge to an understanding of conflict and terrorism. (2) the overall quality of the argument and its presentation. Contributions may be up to 10,000 words - acceptance will be based on value per page such that longer contributions must make larger contributions.
Special Issues
The editors will occasionally invite related papers on a special topic with the aim of publishing these papers as a special issue of the journal. Special issue authors are encouraged to offer their papers together as a panel presentation at a conference or annual meeting that can provide feedback and context in relation to the topic of interest. Please see our list of special issues here.
