Manuscript Submission: Manuscript Submission: Contributions must be submitted electronically-only as Word files to http://pas-journal.org. Please do not submit hard copies. Please include your name, address, phone, fax, email address, biographical sketch, and an abstract on the title page. Politics & Society will not consider manuscripts currently under review with any other journal. Notes must be double spaced and placed at the end of the text (not at the bottom of pages). Politics & Society follows Chicago endnote style (The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th ed., Chicago: University of Chicago, 2010). Notes must be complete: References (NB all journal and book titles should appear in italics): journal articles must include volume and issue numbers, as well as month and year of publication; references to books must list the author, title, city and year of publication, and publisher; references to contributed books must list the contributor, title of the contributor's essay, and full book information, including editor(s). Manuscript length should be approximately 10,000 words in most cases. All publication decisions are made by the editorial board as a whole at its quarterly meetings. There, one of four possible decisions is made: (1) acceptance; (2) conditional acceptance, pending revisions; (3) rejection and resubmission; or (4) rejection. In the case of a decision to accept pending revisions, the coordinating editor usually determines if the author's changes meet the board's requests. In the case of a decision to reject and resubmit, the article is treated as a new submission and is reread and rediscussed by the entire board. Contributors should receive a decision within five months of submission. Further questions should be sent to Mary-Ann Twist (twist@wisc.edu).
