Manuscript Types

The Journal Of Social And Political Sciences (JSAPS) welcomes diverse forms of high quality academic writing that contribute to the ongoing discourse in the fields of social sciences, political sciences, and governance. The editorial board accepts three primary categories of manuscripts, each serving a unique purpose in advancing academic knowledge.

The first category is Original Research Articles, which are full length empirical studies reporting novel research findings, analytical insights, or theoretical developments. These manuscripts must provide a comprehensive analysis of the subject matter and generally span between 4,500 and 6,000 words in length. The second category comprises Review Articles, which offer comprehensive and critical syntheses of existing literature. These articles evaluate current theoretical frameworks, identify significant research gaps, and propose new directions for future inquiry, typically ranging from 5,000 to 8,000 words. Finally, the journal accepts Policy Briefs, which are concise analytical essays examining contemporary political or administrative policy issues, generally written within a limit of 2,500 to 4,000 words.
