**Apologies for Cross-posting** Call for Papers: “Review of Policy Research: The Politics and Policy of Science and Technology” Dear GEP colleagues: I am writing to you in my capacity as editor of the journal “Review of Policy Research: The Politics and Policy of Science and Technology” (RPR). The journal is the official journal of the Science, Technology and Environmental Politics (STEP) section of the American Political Science Association. As many of you take a break from teaching in the coming months and turn your attention to writing projects, I’d like to encourage you to consider submitting your manuscripts to RPR. The journal is multidisciplinary with an overarching goal of publishing critical studies of the politics and policy of science, technology and environmental issues. Many past and recent manuscripts and special issues published by the journal deal with a range of topics of interest and relevance to the GEP community, for example: The contours of cap and trade: The evolution of emissions trading systems for greenhouse gases, Michele Betsill and Matthew Hoffmann, Vol. 28(1) Climate change regionalism in North America, Henrik Selin and Stacy VanDeveer, Vol. 28 (3) Framing Tradeoffs: The Politics of Nuclear Power and Wind Energy in the Age of Global Climate Change, Sarah B. Pralle and Jessica E. Bosscarino, Vol 28(4) The Politics of Fracking: Regulating Natural Gas Drilling Practices in Colorado and Texas, Charles Davis, Vol. 29(2) A special issue on ‘Comparative Climate Federalism: Carbon pricing and politics in Canada, the United States, and the EU, Vol. 29 (3) Measuring State Environmental Policy, David Konisky and Neal Woods, Vol. 29(4) Funding Global Public Goods: The Dark Side of Multilateralism, Johannes Urpelainen and Patrick Bayer, Vol. 30(2) And, forthcoming in Vol. 30 (3) The EPA Regulates GHG Emissions: Is anyone paying attention?, Sara Rinfret and Jeffrey Cook Conventional Politics for Unconventional Drilling? Lessons from Pennsylvania’s Early Move into Fracking Policy Development, Barry Rabe and Christopher Borick The journal publishes both original research manuscripts and review articles and accepts papers from 8 to 12,000 words in length. We also publish special issues and symposia (a small number of papers that relate to one another that could be clustered in one journal issue but would not take up a whole issue) and I am happy to discuss these options with you. A recent review by Wiley, the journal publisher, showed that in 2012 full text downloads of RPR articles increased by 11% from 2011, from 121,723 full text downloads in 2011 to 135,525 in 2012. Review of Policy Research, as part of the Policy Studies Organization, has 3,846 paid institutional subscriptions and 5,116 institutions in ‘developing countries’ with access. If you submit to the journal, we can promise that we will work to provide a thorough and fast review process and if there are unusual delays I will communicate these to authors. In March 2012, the average time between the date of submission to a first decision on a manuscript was 79 days (as measured over the previous 12 months). This decision time can and does certainly exceed this at times, but more often than not we provide a decision closer to two months. RPR has also been ranked by ISI for two years, with a 2012 impact factor of 0.646, which is above the median impact factor for other journals in political science (69/148) and public administration (23/45). Please don’t hesitate to write to me ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) or the Managing Editor, Adam Thorn ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) if you have any other questions or visit the journal website for information on journal policies, manuscript submission information and editorial board members (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1541-1338).
