Instructions for Authors
***Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.***
Submission of Manuscripts: Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Keith B. Payne, National Institute for Public Policy, keith.payne@nipp.org. Books for review should be sent in duplicate to the attention of Amy Joseph, Editorial Assistant, National Institute for Public Policy, 9302 Lee Highway, Suite 750, Fairfax, VA 22031
Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher.
References: All references should be numbered consecutively at the end of every paper. In the text, references should be cited by a superscript character that corresponds to the reference number. For further information, consult The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th ed.
1. Robert W. Taylor and Harry E. Vanden, “Defining Terrorism in El Salvador,” Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, vol. 463 (September 1982): 107.
Book:
2. C. Wright Mills, The Power Elite (New York: Oxford University Press, 1956), p. 171.
Illustrations: Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and should follow these guidelines:
- 300 dpi or higher
- sized to fit on journal page
- EPS, TIFF, or PSD format only
- submitted as separate files, not embedded in text files
Tables and Figures: Tables and figures should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate sheets or files. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. All units must be included. Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction. Captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet. All original figures should be clearly marked in pencil on the reverse side with the number, author's name, and top edge indicated.
Proofs: All proofs must be corrected and returned to the publisher. If the proofs are not returned within the allotted time, the editor will proofread the article and it will be printed per the editor's instructions. Only correction of typographical errors is permitted.
Offprints: Each corresponding author of an article will receive three complete copies of the issue in which the article appears. The corresponding author is responsible for distribution of copies to coauthors.
