Submission Rules

  • Submissions must relate to American politics or political theory, but we also encourage topics that incorporate other disciplines.

  • Journal submissions should be academic in nature; we do not publish op-eds in our biannual journal.

  • Submissions should be no shorter than 8 double-spaced pages. There is no maximum length, although an excerpt will be published for pieces substantially longer than 25 double-spaced pages.

  • Authors should be current undergraduates or recent graduates (defined as one year after graduation).

  • All sources must be cited. Citations should be in Chicago Manual of Style, 17th Edition, but citation conversion can wait until after the piece is accepted for publication. Please use footnotes and a works cited page at the end.

  • File should be a Google Doc.

  • Article may include graphics/graphs although it is not required.

  • Must not have been previously published in another journal.

  • If your work is currently under review at another journal and accepted for publication, please let us know ASAP so we can remove it from consideration.

  • Remove all identifying information from your submission document (name, school, professor, etc.). All submissions will be reviewed through a blind review process.

Review Process

All submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis through a blind review process. After the submission deadline closes and our staff finishes reviewing all submissions, we will notify authors of final decisions. Accepted authors must commit to a one month editorial period prior to publication. We publish our Fall edition in December and our Spring edition in May.

All submissions are due by Monday, March 11, at 11:59pm.

All authors will be notified of final decisions for the Spring 2024 edition no later than April 20th, 2024.
