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 and email their completed form to Lead Editor Lisa Berlin: SPR@srcd.org, who will respond within approximately four weeks.

Guidelines for Manuscript Preparation

Authors with approved topics should prepare a full manuscript in accordance with these requirements and upload their manuscript to the Social Policy Report ScholarOne submission portal to initiate peer review.
