ASAP Editor, 2010-2012 (inclusive)
Call for Nominations

Nominations are now being accepted for the next editor of Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (ASAP). This electronic and print journal is an outlet for timely and innovative psychological and related social science scholarship with implications for social action and policy. Given the timely nature of its content, the Editor-elect will be expected to work with the current Editor as soon as he/she is appointed to solicit manuscripts. He/she will start as Editor-elect no later than July, 2009 and will become masthead editor for three years starting in January, 2010.

ASAP is a forum for publishing new work as well as discussion of alternative approaches to a variety of important and current social problems. By encouraging publication of well-written peer-reviewed work, the journal aims to facilitate communication between social science researchers and public policy makers as well as the public as a whole. Thus, articles communicate with a broad spectrum of interested individuals as well as the social science community.

Unlike conventional, print journals, articles are published electronically as soon as soon as they are accepted for publication. At the end of each year, a print version is made available to all institutions that subscribe to the Journal of Social Issues. ASAP is not a thematic journal. Submissions in any content area related to the goals of SPSSI are considered. They are evaluated in terms of scholarly excellence as well as their relevance to social problems, social action, and policy. ASAP has an internationally respected editorial board with expertise in both social science research and the application of that research to real world issues.

The editor will need scientific, editorial, interpersonal, and organizational abilities. He or she will advise authors of potential articles on their relevance to the journal as well as select an advisory board and peer reviewers to evaluate articles as they are submitted. The Editor will also work with ASAP's publisher, Wiley-Blackwell, to ensure the timely publication of articles, features, and book reviews; attend SPSSI Council meetings, and prepare various editorial reports. The Editor may also solicit individual articles or sets of related articles on topics of special interest to ASAP readers. For information about the current ASAP operations, please go to the publication page of for SPSSI web page (www.spssi.org) and follow the links for ASAP. SPSSI members can access all the published issues of ASAP from:
