Journal of Social Issues
The Journal of Social Issues (JSI) is a thematic journal published quarterly. Through JSI the Society seeks to bring behavioral and social science theory, empirical evidence and practice into focus on human problems. Each issue of JSI is devoted to a single topic and has as its goal the communication of scientific findings and interpretations in an accurate but readily understandable fashion. Issue proposals and inquiries should be directed to Dr. Sheri Levy, (Stony Brook University), JSI Editor.
Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy
Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (ASAP), is an outlet for psychological and social science scholarship with implications for social action and policy. Under the guidance of an international editorial board, ASAP serves a global audience that includes policy makers and advocates as well as social scientists, students, and the public at large. Articles are published electronically as soon as they are accepted for publication, then in print at the end of every calendar year. Articles may be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/asap; inquiries about the journal should be directed to the editor, Kevin Lanning, at asap.editor@gmail.com.
Social Issues and Policy Review
Social Issues and Policy Review (SIPR) is an annual journal that provides state of the art and timely theoretical and empirical reviews of topics and programs of research that are directly relevant to understanding and addressing social issues and public policy. Drs. Victoria Esses (University of Western Ontario) and Jack Dovidio (Yale University) are the editors for this journal. All proposals and inquiries about potential SIPR issues should be directed to these editors.
Contemporary Social Issues
This authored book series will be grounded in the authors programs of research and will focus on areas of psychological inquiry on research relevant to social issues facing individuals, groups, communities, and/or society at large, with each volume written to speak to scholars, students, practitioners, and policy-makers. Dr. Mark Snyder (University of Minnesota) is the series editor. Please contact Dr. Snyder with suggestions and inquiries.
Social Issues and Interventions
The goal of this series of edited books is to help fill the gap between basic research on social issues and translation into social policy and program interventions. Each book in the series will be an edited volume devoted to a specific social issue- relevant theme, covering related theory, research, and application.
