Thanks to the ef‌f orts of the PAR editorial

team, contributors, reviewers, and the team

at Wiley, the most recent edition of Jour nal

Citation Reports (2016) ranked PAR 2 out of 47

among public administration journals with an Impact

Factor of 3.473. Moreover, PA R is the number-one

journal in the Google Scholar rankings for journals

in the public policy and administration category.  is

is no small feat. Maintaining PAR’s commitment to

publishing high-quality research entails a stellar team

of public administration scholars. With that in mind,

we relied on four primary goals in putting together

our editorial team:

• An inclusive team representative of the diversity

in our discipline

• A team representative of the substantive and

methodological diversity in the field and those

who practice and study it

• A team comprising global representation and

cognizant of developments in their regions

• A team dedicated to enhancing outreach through

digital and social media

All scholars are specialists, and we recognize the limits

of our own expertise.  us, we have identif‌i ed a team

of associate editors from various subf‌i elds in an ef‌f ort to

promote inclusiveness and representativeness. In keeping

with the developments in our f‌i eld, we have virtually

eliminated hierarchy in PAR’s administrative structure,

opting instead for a f‌l at design in which information

f‌l ows back and forth among members of the team.

We will work closely with our editorial team to

stimulate interest in PAR content and to discipline

and all regions of the globe. While we will reach

out to PAR’s stakeholders in public and nonprof‌i t

management, policy, and governance broadly, we

will uphold PAR’s reputation for quality, rigor,

and intellectual integrity in producing scholar-

ship that appeals to the f‌i eld as a whole. Our team,

introduced here, collectively possesses the neces-

sary diversity in substantive focus and scholarly

reputation necessary to maintain PAR’s position

as the leading journal for cutting-edge research in

public administration.
