In its 21^st year of publication, Columbia University's Journal of Politics & Society is currently inviting undergraduate students (class of 2009 or later) to submit research papers in the social sciences for publication in its 2010 edition.

Students from ALL SOCIAL SCIENCE DISCIPLINES, studying in the United States or abroad, are encouraged to submit their work.

Successful submissions cover a wide variety of subjects, but share the qualities of original
scholarship, cogent argumentation, and thorough research. The best way to get a sense of what the Journal publishes is to read the FAQ page, as well as previous editions of the Journal.

The Journal of Politics & Society will award the Peter and Katherine Tomassi Prize of $250 to the author of the best article, as judged by the Editorial Board in conjunction with faculty at Columbia University.

There is no absolute length requirement, but published articles are typically originally 20-­50 pages in length (double-spaced). Papers selected for publication undergo an intensive peer review and editing process, and work previously written for classroom or individual use is welcomed.

Please send all general inquiries and manuscripts to: helvidius@columbia.edu

For submissions, please use Microsoft Word (.doc) or Rich Text (.rtf) format and include "[2010 Submission]" in the subject field of your email. Please also include an abstract with your submission for easy sorting.
