ASPA Section Journals

Affiliated with ASPA's Section on Public Administration Research

The American Review of Public Administration aspires to be the premier academic journal in the field of public affairs and public administration. As an assiduously peer-reviewed journal, the American Review of Public Administration features articles that address rapidly emerging issues in public affairs and public administration, and is open to both traditional and non-traditional approaches. Of particular interest are theory-based empirical research; reviews or syntheses of research; and conceptual/theoretical discussions on or over the boundaries of traditional public affairs and public administration.

Manuscripts are subjected to blind peer review, typically accomplished in less than ninety days. Time from final acceptance to publication is normally nine to twelve months. Acceptance rate for manuscripts submitted over the last four years has averaged seventeen percent.

Manuscript Submission
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to Manuscript Central where authors will be required to set up an online account on the SageTrack system powered by ScholarOne. Submission of a manuscript implies a commitment by the author to publish in the journal, if the manuscript is accepted, and the editors assume that any manuscript submitted to ARPA is not currently under consideration by any other journal. Manuscripts between 20 and 30 pages are especially welcome. Manuscripts are subjected to blind peer review and require the author's name(s) and affiliation listed in a separate file. Any other identification, including any references in the manuscript, the notes, the title, and reference sections should be removed from the paper and listed in a separate file. Accepted submissions must conform to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), latest edition. Each submission should also include an abstract between 100-150 words and a brief biographical sketch of each author, in separate files.

Public Budgeting & Finance, co-sponsored by ASPA's Association of Budgeting and Financial Management (ABFM) is published quarterly.

Visit the web site for editorial information.

The objective of the 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.

Manuscript Submissions

Papers, divided into suitable sections and subsections, should be 12-30 typewritten, double-spaced pages. Include an abstract and biographical sketch of approximately 50 words each. Author name, affiliation, and e-mail address should appear only on a separate cover page to facilitate review.

Please follow the style manual of the American Psychological Association (4th edition). Submission implies that the manuscript has not been published elsewhere, and is not under consideration by another journal.

Manuscripts may be submitted by e-mail to jwest@exchange.sba.miami.edu. Electronic submissions should be prepared using MS Word software (MS Word 97 preferred). Practitioner authors are encouraged to be broadly reflective on their practice of governance. Academic authors are expected to specify the implications of their work for practice. Please identify submission as regular article, case study, exemplar profile, commentary, or report from the field.

We seek submissions from public servants, writers, artists, and academics in all fields. In addition to analytical articles, submissions may include original fiction, poetry, photographs, art, critiques of existing works, and insights based on experience, observation and research.

Personal essays that relate fictionalized experiences in government agencies are also welcome.

All submissions will be evaluated on a blind, peer-reviewed basis.
