Submit an Article for our Print Edition
We are no longer accepting print submissions for the Fall 2024 Semester. Please check back in the early Spring.
Submission Guidelines
Please submit your article by placing it in a Google document and including the document sharing link in the submission form. Please make sure that your sharing settings allow for us to view and edit the Google document.
Below are our general submission policies for print and web articles. Should you have any questions, please consult this website or email us at berkeleypublicpolicyjournal@gmail.com(link sends e-mail). Authors are encouraged to review past issues in our archive for a sense of the expected tone and content.
- Submissions must be original work.
- All submissions should be written for a general audience. Articles should be timely, jargon-free, and should support all claims with clear and convincing evidence.
- We encourage authors to include figures or illustrations to accompany your article.
- Submissions that have already been published elsewhere may still be eligible for BPPJ publication. Please note this in your submission form if this applies to your submission.
- We frequently choose articles for publication that are not in final form when submitted—we generally consider potential rather than polish. We encourage authors to submit articles for both the print edition and the blog even if they are not totally publication-ready.
