Review the APSA Style Manual, the FAQs, and the guidelines outlined below before submitting your manuscript.

The APSR accepts only electronic submissions at www.editorialmanager.com/apsr. The website provides detailed information about how to submit, what formatting is required, and what type of digital files may be uploaded. Please direct any remaining questions to the journal's editorial offices at [email protected].

Please follow these procedures for submission:

1. When you submit at www.editorialmanager.com/apsr, you may "oppose" apotential reviewer as being potentially biased or otherwise inappropriate, but you will be expected to provide specific reasons.  

2. You will be required to upload an "anonymous" digital file of your manuscript.  This file must: (1) remove any information that identifies the authors, including names of collaborators, research assistants or other creators of tables or figures; (2) eliminate any in-text links to online databases stored on personal websites or at institutions with which any of the co-authors are affiliated; (3) remove acknowledgments; (4) avoid “redacting” from the work, as it serves to identify the author; instead use self-references in third person. Manuscripts with potentially compromised anonymity may be returned, delaying the review process.  

You may also upload supplementary material (including appendices) for the reviewers. Please distinguish between appendices you would intend for print publication and online. If there is more than one appendix, provide a table of contents on the first page of your appendices.
