Publications

The Maritime Research Center is embarking on a publication program that will help to expand the knowledge and understanding of maritime issues and history. In keeping with its mission, the publishing program will focus on documents that draw on history to understand current conditions and future possibilities.

Proposals and submissions for the publishing program are welcome and we want to work with authors to ensure their efforts meet the highest standards.Submissions and proposals will be considered for our electronic newsletter, Anchor & Trident, for electronic (PDF) publication, and in very rare circumstances for printed publication (but only where wide commercial potential exists). Most publishing opportunities with the Maritime Research Center do not provide any financial remuneration.

Specific topics of interest include:

Ship histories
Shipping company histories
Personal histories and diaries of mariners
Social and economic impact analyses, both historical and contemporary, of the maritime industry
Photographic collections related to the maritime industry

Other related topics are, however, welcomed.

Submission Guidelines

By submitting a proposal or manuscript, the author acknowledges that the submission is for review purposes only and that there is no agreement for publication.

Manuscripts should be submitted electronically. Most document formats (.doc, .wps, .rtf, .pdf, pub, etc.) are acceptable. Manuscripts that are submitted in Word (.doc) format allow us to include comments, questions, and suggested revisions within the document, providing for a more collaborative process.

If you submit a hard copy manuscript, please submit only a copy. DO NOT SEND YOUR ONLY COPY.

Email your submissions to info@MaritimeResearchCenter.com. Please include a cover note that describes your background in the subject and your full contact information.

Please allow at least six weeks for review. Some reviews may take longer, depending on the number of reviewers involved.
