Social Policy Report Submission Guidelines

The editorial board encourages multi-author teams that include not only researchers but also policymakers and practitioners.

The Social Policy Report follows a two-step submission process.

1. Authors propose a topic for editorial review.
2. If the Lead Editor approves that topic, the authors submit a full manuscript for peer review.

Guidelines for Topic Proposals

Social Policy Report topics stem from editorial board solicitations and directly from authors' initiation.

To propose a Social Policy Report topic, authors should complete a topic proposal form. The SPR Editorial Team will respond within approximately four weeks of submission.

Guidelines for Manuscript Preparation

Authors with approved topics from the SPR Editorial Board will be instructed to prepare a full manuscript and upload their manuscript to the Social Policy Report ScholarOne submission portal to initiate peer review.
