Submissions
The Heinz Journal is published semi-annually, in the Fall and
Spring each year. The views expressed in the published work do not necessarily
represent the views of the Heinz College, its faculty nor the staff.
Because the goal of the journal is to connect theory and policy, the Journal is
not the proper forum for in depth technical articles. The most appropriate
submissions are those that draw a direct link between analysis and theory and
policy implementation or management practices and that depict research in a
manner approachable by educated professionals. Brevity is appreciated.
Content Guidelines
Students, academicians, practitioners, and any other interested parties are
encouraged to contribute to the Heinz Journal. While the majority of issues
published will reflect a variety of topics, selected issues will be thematic in
nature, analyzing trends in policy, management, and technology under a defined
focus. All submissions must meet the standards of scholarship held by the H.
John Heinz III College to be considered for
publication.
Each issue may contain the following sections:
Policy Viewpoints
Short policy papers recommending a policy action and written with the thesis
statement clearly identified at the beginning of the paper; followed by
supporting data and alternative view points; with a brief statement of policy
recommendation
Policy and Management Papers
A brief but substantive paper theorizing, researching, and analyzing policy or
management processes
In Practicum
A column written by a practitioner in the field of policy or management
analyzing the impact or setting forth an argument regarding a policy
implementation or management technique. This column is meant to reflect policies
and management in practice
Book Review
A column reviewing a topical policy or management publication
In Heinz Sight
A special feature column solicited from a guest author and dedicated to
interviewing, reflecting, or offering a perspective from the field by Heinz
College alumni or person of interest
