Style Sheet for Submissions
Feature Research Articles:
Instructions to Authors for Submitting Feature Research Articles: Authors who wish to submit a feature article for review should do so electronically (in PDF format) by clicking this link to go to a special website: JPAM Electronic Submissions.

All other submissions should be sent to the appropriate associate editor for each section at the addresses listed below.

JPAM strives for quality, relevance, and originality. The editors give priority to articles that relate their conclusions broadly to a number of substantive fields of public policy or that deal with issues of professional practice in policy analysis and public management. Although an interdisciplinary perspective is usually most appropriate, articles that employ the tools of a single discipline are welcome if they have substantive relevance and if they are written for a general rather than disciplinary audience. The editors welcome proposals for articles that review the state of knowledge in particular policy areas.
