About the Journal

Public Administration Review (PAR) is dedicated to advancing theory and practice in public administration. PAR serves a wide range of audiences globally. As the preeminent professional journal in public administration, Public Administration Review (PAR) strives to publish research that not only advances the science and theory of public administration, but also incorporates and addresses the realities of the practice of public administration. The PAR editorial team takes pride in our rigorous review process. While rigorous, our reviewers also provide quality service to our contributors. Operationally, this means we try to offer high quality, timely feedback.  The standard time for full peer review is typically less than 90 days from receipt of a manuscript to an editor’s decision.  If our internal editorial review concludes a manuscript is not suitable for full peer review, then we usually have a decision to authors within 14 days after submission of a manuscript. As a professional journal, PAR encourages submissions from both scholars and practitioners.  Regardless of the affiliations of our authors, our readers value research informed by practice and practice informed by research.  Since its founding in 1940, PAR has regularly published articles contributed by practitioners. We also encourage scholars and practitioners to consider co-authorship as a means for co-producing relevant, timely and quality research. In addition to articles, PAR offers other opportunities for practitioners to share their knowledge and experience.  These opportunities include our newest feature, Viewpoint, which shares salient practice-oriented research, and Book Reviews. More details about these features appear below.
