Any tips, comments or advice about the publication? As a web publication we are quite flexible about page count, number of illustrations and other format considerations. We believe that the information content comes first. The site is free so we cannot pay for submissions but we can offer publication in a well respected publication targeted at, but not restricted to the martial arts community. All articles published in PT remain available electronically through the archives. One of our mandates at EJMAS is to presevere and make accessible reprints of valuable articles which have gone out of circulation.
