期刊簡介預計審稿時間：

The policy sciences are distinctive within the policy movement in that they embrace the scholarly traditions innovated and elaborated by Harold D. Lasswell and Myres S. McDougal. Within these pages we provide space for approaches that are problem-oriented, contextual, and multi-method in orientation. There are many other journals in which authors can take top-down, deductive, and large-sample approach or adopt a primarily theoretical focus. Policy Sciences encourages systematic and empirical investigations in which problems are clearly identified from a practical and theoretical perspective, are well situated in the extant literature, and are investigated utilizing methodologies compatible with contextual, as opposed to reductionist, understandings. We tend not to publish pieces that are solely theoretical, but favor works in which the applied policy lessons are clearly articulated. Policy Sciences favors, but does not publish exclusively, works that either explicitly or implicitly utilize the policy sciences framework. The policy sciences can be applied to articles with greater or lesser intensity to accommodate the focus of an author’s work. At the minimum, this means taking a problem oriented, multi-method or contextual approach. At the fullest expression, it may mean leveraging central theory or explicitly applying aspects of the framework, which is comprised of three principal dimensions: (1) social process, which is mapped in terms of participants, perspectives, situations, base values, strategies, outcomes and effects, with values (power, wealth, enlightenment, skill, rectitude, respect, well-being, and affection) being the key elements in understanding participants’ behaviors and interactions; (2) decision process, which is mapped in terms of seven functions—intelligence, promotion, prescription, invocation, application, termination, and appraisal; and (3) problem orientation, which comprises the intellectual tasks of clarifying goals, describing trends, analyzing conditions, projecting developments, and inventing, evaluating, and selecting alternatives. There is a more extensive core literature that also applies and can be visited at the policy sciences website: http://www.policysciences.org/classicworks.cfm. In addition to articles that explicitly utilize the policy sciences framework, Policy Sciences has a long tradition of publishing papers that draw on various aspects of that framework and its central theory as well as high quality conceptual pieces that address key challenges, opportunities, or approaches in ways congruent with the perspective that this journal strives to maintain and extend.Officially cited as: Policy Sci

政策科學在政策運動中獨樹一幟，因為它們采用了 Harold D. Lasswell 和 Myres S. McDougal 創新和闡述的學術傳統。在這些頁面中，我們為面向問題、情境化和多方法導向的方法提供了空間。在許多其他期刊中，作者可以采用自上而下、演繹和大樣本方法，或主要采用理論重點。政策科學鼓勵系統和實證研究，從實踐和理論角度明確問題，在現有文獻中很好地定位問題，并使用與情境理解（而不是還原論理解）兼容的方法進行研究。我們傾向于不發表純理論性的文章，而是傾向于清晰闡述應用政策經驗的作品。政策科學傾向于（但不只發表）明確或隱含地利用政策科學框架的作品。政策科學可以應用于強度更大或更小的文章，以適應作者作品的重點。至少，這意味著采取面向問題、多方法或情境化的方法。最充分的表達是，它可能意味著利用核心理論或明確應用框架的各個方面，該框架由三個主要維度組成：（1）社會過程，以參與者、觀點、情況、基本價值觀、策略、結果和效果來映射，價值觀（權力、財富、啟蒙、技能、正直、尊重、幸福和感情）是理解參與者行為和互動的關鍵要素；（2）決策過程，以七種功能來映射——情報、促進、規定、調用、應用、終止和評估；（3）問題導向，包括澄清目標、描述趨勢、分析條件、預測發展以及發明、評估和選擇替代方案的智力任務。還有更廣泛的核心文獻也適用，可以在政策科學網站上訪問：http://www.policysciences.org/classicworks.cfm。除了明確使用政策科學框架的文章外，《政策科學》還長期出版借鑒該框架及其核心理論各個方面的論文，以及以與本期刊努力維護和擴展的觀點一致的方式解決關鍵挑戰、機遇或方法的高質量概念性文章。正式引用為：政策科學
