"Sifting and Winnowing" Undergraduate Polisci Journal is Accepting Submissions

Sifting & Winnowing: the Wisconsin Undergraduate Polisci Journal is an academic journal here at UW-Madison, and they are currently recruiting submissions to publish in their second edition! They are looking for pieces that are relevant to topics in law, political science or public policy.

This publication is student-run and will publish work both written and edited by undergraduate UW Madison students. Their purpose is to foster scholarly and interdisciplinary discourse about law, political science and public policy on the undergraduate level. They seek to give exceptional undergraduates the opportunity to experience the peer review and editing process of academic journals. Submissions are welcome from students of all grades and majors. Copies of Sifting and Winnowing journals can be found in the Memorial Union browsing library, and in the Political Science, Economics and International Studies departments.

Please submit all pieces in a double-spaced format, Microsoft Word .doc format. If possible, please follow the Chicago style and include endnotes as well as a works cited section. Although they will consider submissions of any length, they prefer pieces within the range of 8 to 30 pages. It would be highly appreciated if longer papers could be shortened to fit this page length recommendation before submission. We welcome any questions about these submission requirements, and ask that submitting authors be receptive to feedback and constructive criticism.

Please email questions and submissions to sifting@polisci.wisc.edu. In the body of the email, please include the following information: Your name, phone number, academic majors, and graduation date, piece title, topic, and a short summary.
