About the journal

The Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis: Research and Practice (JCPA) is a double-blind peer reviewed journal, indexed in Thomson Reuters SSCI, adhering to the highest quality scholarship. Published five times per year, the JCPA is the only explicitly comparative journal of policy analytic studies. It invites manuscripts that make a contribution to the field of comparative policy studies and related public affairs, administration and management. The JCPA aims to stimulate the intellectual development of comparative policy studies and the growth of an international community of scholars in the field. Criteria: The JCPA gives priority to comparative studies. The JCPA adheres to the following comparative criteria and expects submissions not to be limited to, and rather go beyond, international comparisons. Priority will be given to articles that: 1. Draw, derive or disseminate lessons based on policy issues which have manipulable policy, program or institutional variables in common; 2. Contribute to comparative theory development; 3. Present theory-based empirical research; 4. Offer comparative evaluations of research methods; 5. Derive the practice implications of theory-based research; 6. Use conceptual heuristics to interpret practice.
Interdisciplinarity: The JCPA encourages the submission of articles advancing the comparative dialogue across public policy disciplines. Publications include multiple policy arenas such as, immigration, health care, environment and climate change,, education including higher education, security or human rights, welfare, transportation, bio-technology, and others. Functionally articles can address, for instance, research methods, policy analytic methodology, technology transfer, public finance, budgeting practice, administrative reform, performance measurement and other areas that can be of interest to our readership.
Special Publications: The journal welcomes proposals for Special Symposia Issues on a variety of topics and disciplines. Special JCPA Sections: The JCPA encourages submissions to the following special sections: Policy Innovation, Comparative Policy Statistics, Discourse (Insights) and Book Review.

The JCPA is supported by a grant from the Office of Research Services and VP Research, Simon Fraser University.

Instructions to Authors
Articles submitted must adhere to the Aims and Scope of the Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis and should contribute to the on-going dialogue on comparative policy analysis advanced by the other articles published in the Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis and elsewhere.
This journal is compliant with the Research Councils UK OA policy. Please see the licence options and embargo periods here .
Submission of Manuscripts
Papers cleaned of all identifying author information can be submitted through the Journal's website at www.jcpa.ca Please contact Diana Walker, Editorial Director, Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis: Research and Practice , email: jcpa@sfu.ca , if you have any further queries.
Manuscripts should not be longer than 8,000 words, including an abstract of 100 words, double-spaced and in 12-point type. The electronic version should be in a standard word-processing format, preferably MS Word or RTF. British or American spelling is acceptable provided usage is consistent. Authors should also consult the most recent volume of the Journal for style.
Tables and Figures
Because of cost and space limitations, tables should be used parsimoniously, to illustrate findings which are crucial to the hypothesis. Otherwise, a sentence can be inserted to advise the reader that the author is willing to elaborate or provide other test results through correspondence.
Tables should be prepared with the minimum use of horizontal rules (usually three are sufficient) and avoiding vertical rules.
It is important to provide clear copy of figures (not photocopies or faxes), preferably electronically in .JPG, .TIF or .EPS format. All captions for figures and plates (including sources and acknowledgements) should be listed on a separate sheet.
Tables and figures should be submitted on separately numbered sheets. The positioning of a table or figure should be indicated in the text following the paragraph that first mentions it, with the instruction, "Insert Table 1 (or Figure) about here."
References
References should be cited in the text based on the Harvard reference system, that is, use the last name of the author(s), the date of publication and, following quoted material, the page references. Also note:
1. Ibid. (and the like) are not used when repeating citations. Simply repeat the original citation verbatim, e.g. (Orwell 1945). 2. Multiple citations within parentheses should be divided by a comma, not a semi-colon, and there should be no use of '&' within such multiple references. References to works published in the same year should be cited as, e.g. (Smith 1991a, b). 3. Multiple citations within a text should be ordered by date, not alphabetically by author's name, e.g. (Smith 1902, Jones and Bower 1934, Brown 1955, 1958a, b, Green 1995). 4. et al. may be used in citations within the text when a paper or book has three or more authors, but note that all names are given in the reference itself. 5. Page spans in references should be given in full, e.g. Sedgewick (1935: 102-103).
The reference list should include every work cited in the text. Please ensure that dates, spelling and title used in the text are consistent with those listed in the References.
The content and form of the reference list should conform to the examples below. Please note that page numbers are required for articles, both place of publication and publisher are required for books cited and, where relevant, translator and date of first publication should be included. Do not use et al. in the reference list: spell out each author's full name or surname and initials.

Notes on Style
Unlike a paper delivered to a specialist audience at a particular conference and at a particular time, a journal article will be read by a diverse audience of specialists and generalists over an extended period of time. Therefore, remarks concerning recent or topical events and individuals should be fully elaborated for the broader journal readership.
Justification of text When typing up your article, use unjustified mode. Leave the right margin ragged and avoid word divisions and hyphens at the ends of lines. Only insert hard returns at the end of paragraphs or headings.
Spelling Please be consistent in your use of British or American spelling. Use -ize, in preference to -ise, as verbal ending (e.g. realize, specialize, recognize, etc.). Note, however, several words correctly end in -ise (e.g. advertise, enfranchise, exercise, etc.); note also analyse (British spelling), analyze (American).
Hyphenation Generally avoid hyphens (as in "neoliberal"), but use a hyphen when the word following the prefix begins with the same vowel as the one with which the prefix ends, or when the appearance of the compound would be confusing without the hyphen, as in co-editor, co-author, co-operation, co-ordination, pre-empt and neo-institutional.
Punctuation Use a single (not a double) space after a full point, and after commas, colons, semicolons, etc. Do not put a space in front of a question mark, or in front of any other closing quotation mark.
Initial capitalization Please keep capitalization to a minimum. For instance, only capitalize civil, military, religious and professional titles when preceding the name of a person holding the title. Also, generally do not capitalize references to public office holders, such as "senators", but capitalize the office itself, "the Senate". Capitalize terms such as West and Western, and East and Eastern when used in a cultural sense, but not when used in a geographic sense.
Abbreviations Do not use periods in abbreviations such as MP, MPP, NDP, PQ, USA, OECD. Also, in the initial reference to a relatively unfamiliar institution, the name should be spelled out in full, followed by the abbreviation in brackets used in subsequent references. Latinized terms are not used: use "for example," not "e.g."; "and so forth," rather than "etc."; "that is" rather than "i.e."; "through" or "by way of" rather than "via."
Italics Italicize titles of books, journals, newspapers, plays, films, long poems, paintings and ships. Extensive use of italic for emphasis should be avoided. Do not italicize Latin terms that are generally accepted as English, such as a priori, a posteriori, de facto, de jure and status quo.
Quotations Use double quotation marks for quoted material within the text; single quotation marks should only be used for quotes within quotes. Do not use leader dots at the beginning or end of a quotation unless the sense absolutely demands. When a quotation is estimated to run five or more typeset lines, it should be offset from the text and end with a bibliographic reference following the period.
Numerals Spell out one to nine. From 10 up, use numerals. Use 8 per cent rather than eight per cent, eight percent, or 8% except in parenthesis (for example, 8%)
Dates Write out a series of years in full, for example, 1980-1993 (not 1980-93); refer to a decade without an apostrophe, for example, the 1990s (not the 1990's); for specific dates, cite month, day and year in that order, for example, July 1, 2003. References to centuries are written in full: for example, twentieth century (not 20th century).
