Following up on the November 2020 issue’s early reporting of manuscript
submission and decision activity, Administration & Society (A&S) ended the
year with its greatest volume of submissions ever. This is the third year in a
row that A&S has exceeded the previous year’s record volume of submis-
sions. In 2020, we received 335 new and 96 revised original article submis-
sions, for a total of 431. In addition, we received 55 new and 12 revised
Perspectives submissions, for a total of 67. Total manuscript submissions in
2020 thus fell just short of 500, a remarkable level of activity for the journal.
Including desk rejections, we accepted 14.9% of all manuscripts decided in
2020. Of the 95 manuscripts that passed desk review and received peer
review, we accepted 50, or 52.6%.
The growing interest in submitting to and publishing in Administration &
Society is gratifying. It is possible because of the commitment and hard work
of a remarkable number of scholars who volunteer their time, energy, and
attention to helping authors improve submitted work and ultimately publish
it to the benefit of the vast body of knowledge about administration and gov-
ernance in society. Our deepest, sincerest thanks to those scholars listed
below who supported A&S through their peer reviews in 2020.
