Invitation for manuscript submissions

Scholars are encouraged to submit research pieces to SSQ for publication consideration. SSQ receives some 400 manuscripts annually and publishes about 15 percent of submissions. We welcome manuscripts that have reader interest across more than one discipline or that have broad appeal within a single discipline. Manuscripts with social and public policy implications and with a comparative or international focus are especially welcome. All articles besides invited comments are subjected to a double-blind peer review process.
