About the Journal
Focus and Scope
On Politics is the official academic journal of the Undergraduates of Political Science (UPS). For over fifteen years, we have provided opportunities for undergraduate publishing and have showcased the emerging undergraduate scholarship here at the University of Victoria.
On Politics publishes high-quality academic writing from a multitude of theoretical perspectives and sub-fields within the discipline of Political Science, as well as interdisciplinary perspectives. With these broad aims and inclusive features, On Politics presents an accommodating format to disseminate scholarship of a political nature from those who seldom gain the opportunity. On Politics usually publishes twice a year, with occasional special themed issues.
Publicaton Frequency
On Politics presents an accommodating format to disseminate scholarship of a political nature from those who seldom gain the opportunity. On Politics publishes one to two issues per year, at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief.
Submissions are welcomed from students during our Fall and Spring call for papers. Although published articles are typically found within the realm of political science, On Politics does not maintain a stringent allegiance to the discipline per se and welcomes political work from all fields of study. This year, we are especially encouraging students from adjacent disciplines to submit, acknowledging the vast literature of political work that crosses the disciplinary boundaries of academia.
