Aims & Scope:

PS&P focuses primarily on the interdisciplinary areas of social sciences, such as public policy, public administration, political communication, and governance that have consequences of broad, international significance. It publishes original articles, which are assessed through a rigorous peer-review process.

The journal aims to:

- Enable theoretical, methodological, and empirical advances in the study of public policy, public administration, and governance.

- Enable cutting-edge research connecting theoretical research with real-world policy problems and vice-versa.

- Encourage diversity in geographical, methodological, and theoretical approaches.

The journal takes a pluralist approach and encourages submissions regardless of the methodological approach and country of study. Also, Public Sciences & Policies publishes articles in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Articles published are predominantly original research articles, but review articles that assess the state of the art of the policy field are also welcomed.
