Vision
The vision of the Baker Center Journal of Applied Public Policy is to provide public officials, policymakers, political activists, scholars, and citizens with forward-looking commentary and research on matters of public policy. The journal will focus on pragmatic, rather than theoretical, analysis of issues that are regional, national, and international in scope.
Submission Requirements
The Baker Center Journal of Applied Public Policy seeks manuscripts that explore topics across the policy spectrum. We generally seek manuscripts that are between 10 and 30 double-spaced typewritten pages, including endnotes.
The Baker Center Journal of Applied Public Policy accepts articles electronically or in hard-copy format with a diskette or CD-ROM included. Manuscripts may be mailed to the Baker Center or they may be e-mailed to the editorial staff at bakercenter@utk.edu with ?journal article? in the subject line. All submitted manuscripts should be double spaced in a 12-point font with 1-inch margins and saved in MS Word or a text format. The journal will publish articles that contain endnotes in accordance with either APA style or with the 18th edition of The Bluebook. However, all articles that focus primarily on legal issues should contain endnotes in accordance with The Bluebook.
Thank you for your interest, and please direct any questions to Dr. Michael R. Fitzgerald, faculty editor, at mfitzge1@utk.edu, or Dr. Nissa Dahlin-Brown, assistant director, Howard Baker Center for Public Policy.
