Submission Guidelines

• All submissions should be unpublished manuscripts, book-reviews and/or works-in-progress that address relevant topics in the fields of public administration, policy and political science.
  

• While the manuscripts can cover a wide variety of topics, the most appropriate submissions for this series include papers that might eventually be submitted to a journal or presented at a conference, as well as stand-alone chapters of a book, dissertation, master's thesis or research project. Course papers may be reworked into a publishable format. Manuscripts may use both qualitative and quantitative methods and/or may address a substantive policy issue.
  

• Manuscripts should be 20-25 pages, excluding the cover page, abstract and citations; double-spaced with 1" margins and 12-point font. Abstracts should be no more than 250 words. The cover page should include all author contact information. Please do not include author information in any part of the manuscript, except the cover page. Citations should be formatted in APA, 4th edition. Authors should submit five (5) copies of each manuscript. Book reviews should be approximately 1000 words in length.
  

• The deadline for submission is January 28, 2005. However, the process is “rolling,”so you may submit your paper or book review at anytime during the year. Once it is submitted, the review process will begin. For more information on the review process, please visit our website at: http://www.albany.edu/rockefeller/rockrev/index.htm.

The Rockefeller College Review (RCR) is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal published by graduate students at the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy. The purpose of this series is to disseminate graduate student research in the areas of public administration, public policy and political science. As an RCR reviewer, you will have the chance to:

• Learn how the peer-review processed works
• Gain valuable experience reviewing manuscripts and offering constructive ideas on fellow student’s work
• Find out what other students are researching and writing

In order to qualify as a reviewer, students will be required to read the training manual, be able to meet the review timelines and review a maximum of three articles per academic year.

If you are interested in joining RCR Review Board, or if you have any questions, please contact us at: rockrev@albany.edu. Please include your name, postal address, email address, phone number, department and area(s) of interest or concentration.

Remember: This is a blind-review process, so YOU may also submit a paper to RCR, even if you are a reviewer. Submitting papers has the following benefits:

• Encourages the development of research skills
• Provides graduate students with an outlet for their research and work(s) in progress
• Provides students with constructive and thoughtful feedback on their papers that may be useful in submitting to academic journals
• Enhances awareness of the types of research being produced by the college
