AMERICAN POLITICS RESEARCH

Statement of Purpose:

The purpose of American Politics Research is to promote and disseminate high-quality research in all areas of American politics, including local, state, and national politics. 

APR will publish significant studies concerning American political behavior, political parties, public opinion, legislative behavior, courts and the legal process, executive and administrative politics, public policy, and all other topics appropriate to our understanding of American government and politics. Manuscripts from all social science disciplines are welcomed.

Review Times and Initial Decisions:

Concerned that if you submit something to an academic journal, it will fall into a black hole and you won’t hear anything from the editor for months, or even years?

Our review time for submissions received between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008 averaged 44 total days from the time of submission to the initial decision. Click here to view our submission year 2008 statistics on review times and initial decisions.
