Here’s the Bulletin’s page on writing for them. Some key excerpts:
Readers of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists are informed and intelligent; they include top policymakers, researchers, and opinion makers from more than 150 countries and a large contingent of smart non-experts who are interested in the Bulletin’s mission. The Bulletin publishes articles written by the world’s leading science and security experts, who explore the potential for terrible damage to societies from manmade technologies. We focus on ways to prevent catastrophe from the malign or accidental misuse of technology. Our primary coverage areas are nuclear risk, climate change, and other disruptive technologies that could pose an existential threat to humanity.
[...] The Bulletin is committed to serving our readers with a diverse array of perspectives from writers of all sorts of backgrounds. We especially welcome submissions from writers of historically underrepresented groups, including those who are Black, Latinx, Indigenous, people of color, and women. We also encourage the work of younger authors through the Voices of Tomorrow program.
[...] Magazine. The bimonthly magazine features long form articles that generally run from 2,000 to 4,000 words; it is not the word count but the voice and the angle of the pieces that make the magazine distinctive. Read it to understand what the distinction is—we want you to tackle tough topics, make strong arguments, and offer strong takeaways.
[...] Website. We accept opinion (800-1,300 words) and analysis pieces (1,000-3,000 words). Please do use the navigation on our home page to read a few of each of these types of pieces. They will be your best guide to Bulletin style and tone. Have a multimedia idea? Contact the editors directly and pitch them.
[...] Include your bio. The Bulletin is known for publishing the top experts in their respective fields. Please submit your professional biography so that we understand your expertise and what makes you the perfect author to write the piece you are pitching.
Peer review. The Bulletin is not a peer-reviewed journal; however, we do send unsolicited articles to colleagues for outside review. Be prepared to answer questions and to document your points—by way of hyperlinks for web pieces or in the form of footnotes for journal pieces.
[...] Do not submit a research paper. The Bulletin publishes high-concept, high-quality journalism, which is a different form than the research paper. One is not a better form than the other; a research paper is perfectly appropriate to a research journal. It just won’t work with the Bulletin’s format or audience. The Bulletin is its own publication, with long-established parameters, and the best way to gauge what will work for the Bulletin is to read the Bulletin. [Though I’ve been reading the Nuclear Notebook articles, and I’d say they’re closer to research papers or white papers than to journalism. Maybe Nuclear Notebook is unusual in that respect?]
And here’s the page on the Voices of Tomorrow feature:
In its Voices of Tomorrow feature, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists invites emerging scholars to submit essays, opinion pieces, and multimedia presentations addressing at least one of the Bulletin‘s core issues: nuclear risk, climate change, and threats from emerging technologies.
Beginning in 2015, editors will select one Voices of Tomorrow feature as winner of the Leonard M. Rieser Award; the author of that article will receive a $1,000 check plus a one-year subscription to the Bulletin’s journal, in addition to the publication of their submissions.
[...] Submission process. Current students as well as recent graduates are encouraged to submit work. Essays and opinion pieces should not be longer than 2,000 words; video presentations should not exceed 5 minutes in playing time. Each entry must contain: the author’s email address, phone number, short biography, and school affiliation. Submissions should not have been previously published.
Submissions should be sent to Bulletin Contributing Editor Dawn Stover at dstover@thebulletin.org; only one contribution at a time will be accepted per author.
