The Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics
Call
for Papers
Union College's Zeta Upsilon chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha is delighted
to announce that it is now accepting submissions for [upcoming editions] of The Pi
Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics.
The Journal provides an opportunity for outstanding undergraduate
students to publish their research in a competitive national journal.
We hope you will encourage your students to submit their research to the
journal.
Purdue University's Delta Omega chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha began to publish The American Undergraduate Journal of Politics and Government [in] the spring of 2001, and it became a premier outlet for undergraduate scholarship in political science. Starting with the Fall 2004 edition, the title of the Journal changed to The Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics, and has been sponsored by Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society.
The Journal is a student-run enterprise with an editor, deputy editor,
and editorial board who are undergraduate Pi Sigma Alpha members at Union
College. We also have an
advisory board consisting of Union faculty and members of the Pi Sigma Alpha
national Executive Council.
. . . We accept manuscripts on a rolling basis.
The Journal welcomes submissions from undergraduates of any class or
major; submissions from Pi Sigma Alpha members are especially encouraged.
Our goal is to publish manuscripts of the highest quality in all areas of
Political Science. In
general, papers selected for publication have been well-written with a
well-developed thesis, compelling argument, and original analysis.
We typically publish papers approximately 15-35 pages in
length that have been written for an upper-level course, or an individual
research project.
Manuscripts should include a short abstract (roughly 150 words), and citations and references should follow the APSA Style Manual for Political Science. Please make sure that all citations and references are complete and in the APSA style. Submissions must be in the form of a Microsoft Word document and should be e-mailed to psajournal@union.edu . Please include name, university, and contact details (mailing address, e-mail address, and phone number). Students may be asked to revise their manuscript before it is accepted for publication.
We greatly appreciate your efforts to encourage student submissions to
the Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail us.
Thank you for your time, and we hope to hear from your students soon.
Sincerely,
|
