Aims and Scope
IJPS provides a comprehensive platform for theoretical and empirical research that advances the field of public policy. The journal seeks to broaden the scope of policy studies by fostering analytical research and facilitating discourse on public policy practices.
IJPS welcomes diverse topics, methodologies, and perspectives, balancing descriptive, explanatory, and evaluative policy-oriented research. The journal's key areas of interest include:
- - Comparative studies of public policy and administrative developments in an international context.
- - Theoretical, empirical, and methodological insights into public policy at national, comparative, or international levels.
- - Constructive debates on current trends, challenges, and best practices in public policy.
Peer Review
IJPS follows a rigorous double-blind peer review process. Manuscripts undergo initial editorial screening before being reviewed by at least two anonymous referees. To ensure impartiality, authorship details (names, affiliations, and contact information) should be provided on a separate page and omitted from the main manuscript text.
