As a leading journal in public sector human resources, Public Personnel Management particularly encourages manuscripts from a practitioners perspective, as well as submissions on emerging national and international trends in public personnel management. Articles in response to previously published manuscripts are also welcome. Public Personnel Management, the journal of the International Personnel Management Association, encourages contributions on all aspects of personnel management in the public sector. Manuscripts for publication should be sent to the editor. Authors are strongly advised to consult one or more recent issues of the journal before submitting manuscripts for publication.
Manuscripts are subject to a blind review process.
Reviewers submit their recommendations as to acceptance, revision or rejection. In the cases of revision or rejection, the unidentified reviewer's comments will be sent to the author. Contributions should be accompanied by a statement that if accepted for publication in Public Personnel Management, they will not be published elsewhere without the agreement of the editor. Articles are accepted for publication on the understanding that they are subject to editorial revision and that the right of publication in any form or language is reserved by the Association. Manuscripts should be in English.
