Journal of Political Science is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by the Department of Political Science, Prithvi Nayaran Campus, Tribhuvan University, Pokhara, Nepal. JPPS star-ranked and indexed in NepJOL, the journal is published annually online as well as in printed form. The department has been publishing the journal regularly since 1998.
Submitted papers will undergo full peer review, and written comments, when available, will be returned with all refereed manuscripts. Reports for provisionally accepted papers will include a review by a statistician which authors will be required to follow when revising their manuscript. The final decision on the acceptance or rejection of a manuscript will be made by the Editors.
Manuscripts are reviewed by two independent reviewers selected by the Editors. JPS aspires to notify authors about the decision within 3-4 weeks from submission date. When manuscripts are accepted subject to revision, the revised manuscript should be returned within approx. 6 weeks. Accepted articles are published online ahead of print approx. 3–4 weeks after acceptance.
The journal is scheduled to publish its issue annually in the month of February.
