INVITATION TO THE SCHOLARLY COMMUNITY

The National Political Science Review (NPSR), a referred publication of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists, is seeking to expand its contributor and subscriber base.

The NPSR was conceived with emphasis particularly on theoretical and empirical research on politics and policies that advantage or disadvantage groups by reason of race, ethnicity, or gender, or other such factors. However, as a journal designed to serve a broad audience of social scientists, the NPSR welcomes contributions on any important problem or subject which has significant political and social dimensions.

The NPSR seeks to embrace the socio-political dimensions of all disciplines within the social sciences and humanities, broadly defined. Generally, the NPSR seeks to incorporate analysis of the full range of human activities which undergird and impinge upon political and social life. Thus, in addition to contributions from political scientists, the NPSR seeks relevant contributions from historians, sociologists, anthropologists, theologians, economists, ethicists, and others. The NPSR strives to be at the forefront of lively scholarly discourse on domestic and global political life, particularly as disadvantaged groups are affected. While not meant to be exhaustive, the listing below is illustrative of the different areas of scholarly inquiry which the NPSR wishes to draw upon:

The NPSR welcomes conventional manuscripts as well as research notes on important issues. The NPSR is particularly interested in contributions which set forth research agendas in critical scholarly areas within the context of past scholarship and ongoing contemporary developments. The Editor encourages collaborative efforts by two or more contributors as well as contributions by single authors.

Manuscripts submitted for consideration for publication should include the author’s email address on the cover page; should not exceed thirty typewritten pages double-spaced, inclusive of notes; and must be prepared according to guidelines which are available from the publisher. Four hard copies (with author’s name on one copy only) are required for the initial review. A 3.5” computer diskette which is identical in all respects to the manuscript is required for the final submission. Tables, figures, and graphs must be submitted in camera-ready condition upon acceptance for publication. For tables use a uniform typeface (preferably Times Roman).
