The American Academy of Political and Social Science (AAPSS) welcomes proposals for future volumes of The ANNALS that promote the use of the social sciences to inform public opinion and improve public policy. The Academy seeks proposals with broad, interdisciplinary perspectives on important social issues. Typically, each volume consists of a preface/introduction and 10–12 articles for an average volume length of 279 typeset pages or approximately 250–300 manuscript pages (including figures and tables). A proposal should include the following:
-
The rationale for the proposed volume and a summary of the issues it would explore;
-
An overview of the field of research under examination and how the proposed volume would advance that field;
-
A list of proposed articles, with a few sentences explaining each article’s content; and
-
The names of potential contributing author(s) for each article, with a brief description of how each is well-suited to write a contribution on their proposed topic.
If you would be interested in serving as special editor of a volume of The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, please send a 2–3 page proposal to:
