The journal investigates studies in Politics, Political economy, Public administration, Economic history and Government. Some problems in Politics that were presented in Journal of Public Policy overlapped with concepts under Economic policy, Economic system, Public economics and State (polity). Political economy and Welfare state are closely related fields of research discussed in Journal of Public Policy.
In addition to Public administration research, it aims to explore topics under Corporate governance, Bureaucracy and Public policy. Public policy research is concerned with Policy studies in particular. The studies on Economic history discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Media studies and Law and economics.
The most cited papers investigate studies in Politics, Public administration, Public policy, Political economy and Public economics. The works on Politics tackled in the most cited publications bring together disciplines like Economic policy and Public relations. The most cited articles investigate Public administration in the context of the closely related subject of areas like
The objective of the journal is to combine knowledge in the areas of Politics, Political economy, Public administration, Government and Law and economics. The journal tackles research in Democracy as part of the general discipline of Politics, however, it also discusses concepts in Character (mathematics). The journal explores research in Salience (language) and overlapping concepts in Convergence (economics), Legislature and Immigration to expand the discourse in Political economy.
Topics in Public administration explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Structuring, Discretion, Accountability and Normative. Government research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Voting and State (polity). The study of Law and economics encompasses disciplines such as Blame, as well as fields such as Rhetoric and Doctrine, all of which overlap with one another.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Journal of Public Policy (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Journal of Public Policy (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 47.06% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.11% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 5.56% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 5.56% of all publications and 77.78% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Studying Political Science opens doors to various related fields, many of which offer flexible online degree options. For those interested in law enforcement or the legal system, exploring a how much does a criminal justice degree cost can help plan finances effectively before committing to a program.
Starting with an entry-level credential? An criminal justice associate degree online offers foundational knowledge that pairs well with Political Science studies, especially for careers in law enforcement and policy implementation.
For those aiming to specialize, pursuing an online forensic psychology masters combines psychology with legal principles, expanding career possibilities in criminal investigations and behavioral analysis.
Additionally, professionals considering a career in legal support can benefit from exploring online paralegal certificate programs. These accelerated courses prepare students for essential roles within legal teams, complementing a Political Science background.
