Air University Press is committed to advancing scholarly and professional discourse in support of the Air Force, the Department of Defense, and the broader U.S. Government. To align with this mission, Air University Press books and journals will prioritize the peer review and developmental editing of manuscript submissions originating from the following sources:

• Air University programs and affiliated institutions
• Department of the Air Force personnel
• Department of Defense entities and personnel
• Other US Government authors and agencies

This prioritization ensures that the research and perspectives of those directly contributing to national defense and security are promptly and effectively supported in the academic publishing process. While submissions from outside these categories remain welcome and will continue to be considered on their scholarly merit, those from the prioritized categories will receive expedited editorial attention to enhance the relevance and timeliness of their contribution to defense-related scholarship.
