Style Manual for Political Science by American Political Science Association (Prepared for Publication by)
Since the last iteration of APSA's Style Manual for Political Science in 2006, the landscape of APSA journals has changed significantly. Many innovations and developments have occurred in the journal submission and review processes. Consequently, APSA decided to undertake a comprehensive revision of the Manual to reflect the standards of today's authors and manuscripts. Importantly, the Revised 2018 Edition of the Style Manual for Political Science expands and updates previous information to incorporate APSA's four member-wide journals: the American Political Science Review, PS: Political Science & Politics, Perspectives on Politics, and the Journal of Political Science Education, as well as the many organized section journals. The Manual itself walks authors through an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process: from manuscript preparation to submission. The sections include: manuscript preparation, manuscript writing (including punctuation and style), parenthetical citations, notes, tables and figures, and additional resources. The Manual acts as an umbrella submission guide; it is an excellent resource for authors writing without a journal in mind. The Manual contrasts with journal-specific style guidelines, which authors must still ultimately follow, but that have specifications not reflected in the larger Manual.
