Author Guidelines

Nature of Submissions. The journal will consider articles based on research in the disciplinary areas of accountability, transparency, anti-corruption, oversight, professionalization, citizen participation, and related topics. Submitted manuscripts may not be simultaneously submitted for publication to another journal.

Writing. Submissions—including footnotes and bibliography—should be 8,000 to 11,000 words, written in Times New Roman at 12 point and 1.5 spacing.
