Submit to JIPP | Public Policy for & by Students | JIPP

Our main categories of publication are:

• ESSAY

  • These are longer compositions (1500+ words) and should maintain a rigorous standard of evidence usage. Such works will often, but not always, argue for or against a certain policy, critique certain ways of thinking, or report on the literature.

• COMMENTARY

  • These are more informal submissions and are smaller in scope than essays. They are quite similar to newspaper articles or op-eds, and may often be published on our blog as well.

• ART + POETRY

  • This category is for all forms of art and poetry that relate to policy issues. We allow for full creative freedom in these works.

Before submitting, consult our Style Guide for details on formatting and style. If you like working on policy issues, join the team to collaborate more closely with JIPP.

We are not currently accepting any issue-specific publications, but welcome to solicitations and works to be published directly to the blog.
