Submissions


Call for Papers:

The Notre Dame Journal of Political Science is soliciting papers from Notre Dame undergraduates! If you are proud of a paper from one of your classes or seminars, research projects, or even independent study, please consider submitting your work. Excerpts or drafts from in-progress senior theses are also welcome, and you may submit multiple papers if desired. Selected papers will be edited in collaboration with a team of Notre Dame students and published in a scholarly volume by the end of the fall semester. This is a perfect opportunity to add a publication to your resume, and it is exclusive to Notre Dame students. Please submit your paper at this link. You may reach out to Cecilia Farrell at cfarre24@nd.edu and David Murphy at dmurph23@nd.edu with any questions.

  • Submission Deadline:  Sunday, October 4 @ 11:59 pm.
  • Eligible Authors: Current Notre Dame undergraduates, submitting papers written since matriculating to Notre Dame.
  • Paper Specifications: Page specifications range between 8–30 pages (flexible), excluding references. Page counts are based on the following required formatting: double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, and 1″ margins. Chicago-style citations formatted as footnotes with a bibliography will be used, though you may wait to adapt your paper to this citation style once it is selected.
