About Journal of Defense Analytics and Logistics

Aims and scope

When submitting a manuscript, authors will be taken to a service called Paperpal Preflight, an AI-driven tool that checks manuscripts against the journal's author guidelines. Authors are free to use or bypass this step and submit directly to ScholarOne.

The Journal of Defense Analytics and Logistics (JDAL) considers a broad range of topics across the logistics, operations research, and supply chain management space. However, each research article considered at the journal must contribute directly to the art and science of national and/or international defense.

Manuscripts that develop innovative new ways of thinking about defense are especially encouraged. Successful manuscripts are theoretically sound, methodologically rigorous and practically relevant.

The journal is international in scope, and submissions from all countries are welcomed. JDAL publishes two issues per annum.
