The journal is noted for publishing much longer articles - up to 75 pages - than is common among political science journals.[1] For example, the maximum length for papers submitted to the American Political Science Review is 45 pages.[2]SAPD was founded by political scientists Karen Orren and Stephen Skowronek.[3] Its current editors are Eric Schickler and Robin Einhom of the University of California, Berkeley and Anthony Chen of Northwestern University.[4] It has been instrumental in fostering the growth of APD as a distinct and popular subfield within the discipline of political science.[citation needed] SAPD's editorial advisory board includes leading political scientists and historians including Joyce Appleby, Walter Dean Burnham, Victoria Hattam, Ira Katznelson, Theodore Lowi, Theda Skocpol, Rogers Smith, and Daniel Carpenter.[5] The editors and numerous editorial advisers for SAPD have also served a term as president of the Politics and History Section of the American Political Science Association.[citation needed]According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2014 impact factor of 0.667, ranking it 89th out of 161 journals in the category "Political Science".
