Duke Journal of Politics

Introduction

The Duke Journal of Politics is a publication of the Duke University Political Science Department that showcases outstanding research in Political Science by Duke undergraduates.

The journal is faculty advised and student edited, with a multiple blind-read review process to ensure a fair environment for submissions. Students are either contacted by Duke Political Science faculty about submitting, or may opt to submit a manuscript without faculty recommendation.

The journal features student-authored texts that are selected from submissions from the previous semester's political science classes, independent studies and honor's theses. Essays that are selected after the review process are published by the Political Science Department and received full copyright protection.

Manuscript Submission

Students wishing to publish their papers in the Duke Journal of Politics are encouraged to obtain approval from a faculty member and then submit a copy of the text with contact information to the 'Undergraduate Journal' mailbox in the Political Science Main Office, 326 Perkins Library, Department of Political Science, Duke University.
