The objective of ASPA's journal Public Integrity (PI) is to further the understanding of ethics in government by publishing articles of interest to practitioners and scholars. Especially appropriate are research studies, cases, exemplar profiles, field reports, and commentaries that address both the compliance and developmental approaches to ethics.

They may explore functional areas (e.g., budgeting, personnel), substantive fields (e.g., health, environment, defense), and topical issues (e.g., quality, productivity) found in public administration and affairs. Investigations may focus on any level of government (local, state, national, international), any of its branches (legislative, judicial, executive), nongovernmental actors that affect public policy (the press, interest groups, as well as non-profit organizations) and public-private sector relationships.

Ethics Section members receive PI as a member benefit. PI is now available to all ASPA members at a discounted rate without having to join the Ethics Section. ASPA members now save $44 on an annual subscription to PI.
