PAR Welcomes new team

PAR Welcomes a New Editorial Team 7

Thanks to the efforts of the PAR editorial team, contributors, reviewers, and the team at Wiley, the most recent edition of Journal Citation Reports (2016) ranked PAR 2 out of 47 among public administration journals with an Impact Factor of 3.473. Moreover, PAR is the number-one journal in the Google Scholar rankings for journals in the public policy and administration category. This is no small feat. Maintaining PAR’s commitment to publishing high-quality research entails a stellar team
of public administration scholars. With that in mind, we relied on four primary goals in putting together our editorial team:
• An inclusive team representative of the diversity
in our discipline
• A team representative of the substantive and
methodological diversity in the field and those
who practice and study it
• A team comprising global representation and
cognizant of developments in their regions
• A team dedicated to enhancing outreach through
digital and social media
All scholars are specialists, and we recognize the limits
of our own expertise. Th us, we have identifi ed a team
of associate editors from various subfi elds in an eff ort to
promote inclusiveness and representativeness. In keeping
with the developments in our fi eld, we have virtually
eliminated hierarchy in PAR’s administrative structure,
opting instead for a fl at design in which information
fl ows back and forth among members of the team.
We will work closely with our editorial team to
stimulate interest in PAR content and to discipline
and all regions of the globe. While we will reach
out to PAR’s stakeholders in public and nonprofi t
management, policy, and governance broadly, we
will uphold PAR’s reputation for quality, rigor,
and intellectual integrity in producing scholarship
that appeals to the fi eld as a whole. Our team,
introduced here, collectively possesses the necessary
diversity in substantive focus and scholarly
reputation necessary to maintain PAR’s position
as the leading journal for cutting-edge research in
public administration.
