| Abstract: | Armed Forces & Society (AF&S) marks its 50th anniversary in 2024. The objective of this study is to assess the journal's adherence to its founding principles encompassing interdisciplinarity, internationalism, and its role as a bridge between the military and academia. This study extends a 25- and 40-year analysis by Ender and Sookermany et al., who examined trends in authorship and affiliation in AF&S. This study covers 50 years, includes 1,415 research articles, and focuses on authors' expertise, gender, country, continent, and military background. Our findings show a consistently higher author-to-article ratio, an increasing proportion of female authors, a wider range of disciplines from more countries, and an increasing proportion of authors with professional military backgrounds. We conclude that the editorial stance has consistently followed founding principles, and its scope remains recognizable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
