Newport Papers are considered on a variety of subjects but are ideally related to
the contemporary operational or strategic concerns in the realm of maritime security.
They are distributed in print to a select subscription list (some 1,600 names),
and extra copies can be made available to authors for additional distribution. In
addition, they are published electronically (in Acrobat) at full length on the Press
website.
Extended treatment is necessary; the Newport Papers are published as book-length
monographs, not pamphlets. For a combination of production and financial reasons,
the Papers normally range from a minimum of 100 proof pages (not typescript pages--this
equates to approximately 41,000 words) to about 150. Greater length can sometimes
be accommodated.
Full scholarly apparatus is required. To avoid the necessity of extensive revisions,
please consult our house style. While close conformance with our citation style
would not be required in manuscript, the elements of information it requires by
it should be present.
Art (that is, photographs, tables, figures, diagrams) can generally be accommodated,
through in black and white only (print version). Tables and figures are generally
redrawn locally, for approval; high-resolution (at least 300 dpi) files of photographs,
etc., must be submitted.
The author is responsible for security or policy clearances, as well as for securing
formal permission to use copyright material.
If interested in publishing a Newport Paper (whether the manuscript is prospective,
in progress, or complete), please submit a proposal to the editor, via managing
editor, comprising:
- An abstract, laying out the purpose, thesis, general approach, nature of sources
and evidence
- Projected length
- Biographical note or cv
- Features with production or cost implications (extensive art, appendices, etc.).
