The First Word War Studies Journal is peer-reviewed and published by Taylor & Francis. Since 2014 the society has published 3 issues per year and society members have online access to the journal.
Attend Our Conferences
At our conferences we discuss pre-circulated research papers in a friendly and constructive way.
We particularly aim to help postgraduates to develop their research, but any society member may submit their work.

Contact societies@tandf.co.uk or +44 (0)20 7017 5543 with your name, email address and postal address.
Important information
Membership of the society runs for the calendar year from January to December.
You will receive copies of all issues of the journal published in the calendar year of your membership. Please contact Taylor and Francis if you do not.
Members of the society will be added to our email discussion list. This is updated each month based on information provided by Taylor and Francis to the society.
If you happen to subscribe to the society just after the discussion list has been updated for the month, there will be a delay before your email address is added.
Make sure you use your preferred email address for the discussion list in the details you give to Taylor and Francis when you subscribe to the society.
It is advisable to use a continuing email address such as gmail or hotmail, rather than a work address. When members change jobs, they often forget to update the details held by Taylor and Francis, and then they miss out on emails from the society.
To amend your delivery details for the journal or for the email discussion list, email subscriptions[at]tandf.co.uk
Make sure emails from firstworldwarstudies@jiscmail.ac.uk are not sent to your junk mail.
The society and this website are administered by volunteer postgrads and academics who gladly contribute this work in their spare time.
