Call for Papers
SPPQ publishes high quality academic studies that develop general hypotheses of political behavior and policymaking and test these hypotheses using the unique methodological advantages of the states. The editor calls for manuscripts on all aspects of political behavior and policy in the states, with no restriction on methodological or theoretical approach. Qualitative and quantitative, single-state and multi-state studies will all be considered, but only those manuscripts that meet the most rigorous methodological and theoretical academic standards will be published in
SPPQ. Studies that deal with other sub-national units of government in the U.S. and elsewhere will also be considered for publication. All manuscripts submitted for consideration will be double blind reviewed. The editor will place a high priority on keeping review and publication turnaround time on manuscripts to a minimum.
