Social Issues and Policy Review

Edited By: Samuel L. Gaertner & Rupert Brown

Online ISSN: 1751-2409

Overview



Aims and Scope


The mission of Social Issues and Policy Review (SIPR) is to provide state of the art and timely theoretical and empirical reviews of topics and programs of research that are directly relevant to understanding and addressing social issues and public policy. SIPR, like other review volumes (e.g., Annual Review of Psychology and Advances in Experimental Social Psychology) is formally considered a periodical. Papers will be accessible and relevant to a broad audience and will normally be based on a program of research. Works in SIPR will represent perspectives directly relevant to the psychological study of social issues and public policy. Contributions are expected to be review papers that present a strong scholarly foundation and consider how research and theory can inform social issues and policy or articulate the implication of social issues and public policy for theory and research.

Works may relate to controversial current issues, but they must be well grounded in theory and research, normally involving work in the behavioral sciences, and present fair and unbiased portrayals of the issues.  SIPR is not limited to a particular point of view, political or social ideology, geographic area of focus, or disciplinary orientation.  It encompasses areas of global concern.  SIPR volumes are nonthematic; that is, the papers within each volume will focus on a variety of topics.

SIPR is available as part of a subscription to SPSSI's flagship publication, Journal of Social Issues (JSI), and also includes a subscription to Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (ASAP).

Social Issues and Policy Review (SIPR) Model Manuscript Outline 

SIPR is a journal for review articles that provide timely theoretical and empirical reviews of topics and programs of research that are directly relevant to addressing social issues and informing relevant public policy.  Papers in SIPR represent a variety of disciplinary orientations and are accessible and relevant to a broad audience. 

Manuscripts submitted to SIPR are evaluated in terms of relevance to the mission of SIPR, originality, scholarly contribution, and effectiveness of presentation. The first step in the process is the submission of a brief, 1-2 page proposal that summarizes the content of the piece and explains the relevance of the work to the mission of SIPR.  If this preliminary review is favorable, authors will be invited to write a full paper for consideration for publication in SIPR and will be given an appropriate timeline for inclusion in a volume.  Full drafts of the manuscripts will again be reviewed.  Works are normally between 40 and 50 manuscript pages, including title page, abstract (120-140 words), narrative, references, tables, figures, and notes, and must conform to the format and guidelines of the American Psychological Association. 

A sample paper outline is: 

I.  Title of the proposed manuscript and full contact information for the corresponding author (name as it should appear on the manuscript, mailing address, phone, fax, and e-mail).

II. Statement of the Issue 

This section briefly identifies the theme and goals of the manuscript, making a case for the importance of the topic and its relevance to the mission of SIPR.

III.  Framework and Description of Relevant Theory and Research 

This section presents the scholarly foundation of the work, including a description of relevant theory and research. It must achieve several objectives:

a) Articulate a coherent framework that organizes the paper

b) Develop a logical scholarly argument based on current theory and research that can be applied to understanding and addressing important social issues and public policy

c) Demonstrate the connection of the framework adapted to an appropriately comprehensive body of knowledge

IV.  Social Issues and Policy Implications 

Manuscripts must have direct relevance to understanding and addressing social issues and public policy, and must clearly articulate these connections. This section articulates the connections between theory, research, and practice in a way that can be understood by people with a variety of professional and academic backgrounds. That is, this section makes clear the relevance of the theory and research for understanding social issues and public policy, and, in some cases, implementing change, in ways that are accessible to policy makers and practitioners, as well as academics with a variety of backgrounds. 

V.  Conclusion 

This brief section summarizes the work, including social issue and policy implications, and suggests promising directions for the future.
