Aim
Removing barriers to publishing for national security professionals working in innovative thinking by design, critical thinking, systems thinking, foresight, and adjacent methods and approaches in a security context so that NATO members and partners, including researchers, benefit from work focused on these topics.
Eligibility
National security professionals from NATO members and partners who have produced scholarship or other educational deliverables on one of the above topics and would like to publish this work in a professional military journal, an academic journal, a blog, video essay or podcast.
Scope
The AOD team in collaboration with the Richardson Institute have the initial capabilities to support up to two simultaneous small scale projects following two tracks.
- The first track is to assist a national security professional writing in English as a Second Language, based on an initial essay or research paper draft.
- The second track is to assist a national security professional to transition from a completed coursework in an educational context towards a publishable deliverable.
Expected Assistance
Participants can expect assistance in the form of an initial gap analysis identifying necessary steps towards publication, followed by targeted services such as expert feedback, suggestions for additional research and references, copy-editing, video or podcast production support, reference formatting to meet a publication standard, submission and coordination with publishers.
Fees
Winning participants must become an AOD member to benefit.
