Frequently Asked Questions How often do you publish? The Brown Journal of Philosophy, Politics and Economics publishes twice a year. Once in the Fall, and once in the Spring. How do you decide what to publish? The JPPE looks for pieces that are well-written, original, well-argued, well-researched, and timely. Possible contributions include, but are not limited to, research papers, literature reviews, critical comments, interviews, theses, PhD summaries, and articles written independently or for a class. How long should my submission be? We do not specify lengths for submissions because we recognize that certain essays may require more or less space than others. We do, however, expect that the essay is concise and justifies its length in all cases. How do I know if my work qualifies for the journal? The JPPE is an interdisciplinary journal. We are flexible and encourage submissions from a variety of fields, as long as the work has relevance within the disciplines of philosophy, politics, and/or economics. Most importantly, the work should be timely and offer some insight into a question with philosophical, political, and/or economic implications. What are my chances of getting published? All submissions go through a rigorous name-blind review and referee process. If the work passes the process the piece will be published. I do not attend Brown University. Can I still submit my work? Yes! We accept submissions from authors all over the world.

THE BROWN CENTER FOR PHILOSOPHY, POLITICS, AND ECONOMICS The JPPE is supported by the Center for PPE, an interdisciplinary research center at Brown University. The JPPE is run by undergraduate student members of the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) Society, a scholarship organization founded by the Political Theory Project in the fall of 2016. The PPE Society aims to discover and unite Brown University students who share a desire to understand how societies may become better places for their citizens to live and flourish. The PPE Society is both a scholarship and learning opportunity for students at Brown to investigate social science and political philosophy while engaging with other similarly dedicated students, faculty and visiting researchers.
