Review procedure
The journal is committed to high standards
of peer review. Each manuscript accepted for review by the managing editor is
evaluated by two or more scholars active and publishing in the field of political
socialization. Their evaluations help the Executive Editors decide whether to
publish a manuscript. The main criteria used in making editorial decisions are
scientific originality and contribution to the field of knowledge about political
socialization and behavior. After a manuscript has been accepted for publication
and after all revisions have been incorporated, the author must submit a hard
copy of the final article accompanied by electronic files on CD or diskette.
The CD/disk must be the one from which the accompanying finalized version of
the manuscript was printed.
Before publication, the author will
receive a proof copy to check for typographical errors only. The proof
copy and corrections must be returned to the Managing Editor within two
weeks of receipt together with a statement transferring copyright from
the author(s) to the publisher.
