INDIGENOUS POLICY JOURNAL IS BECOMING PEER-REVIEWED
WE INVITE YOUR INVOLVEMENT
INCLUDING WITH REVIEWING ARTICLES
With this issue of the Indigenous Policy Journal comes
a request. We are moving toward converting IPJ into
a "peer-reviewed," "academic" journal.
IPJ will continue to publish writings of use to and easily
readable by indigenous people. Published articles and other
writings will persist in being written so that they are easily
readable by people interested in Indigenous issues, whether
or not they are academics. Writings in the Articles section
will begin to be refereed - and eventually all in that section
will be refereed, but we will publish some non-refereed articles
as "Research Notes," while commentary, reviews,
news, media notes and announcements will not be refereed.
The Summer issue will continue to carry the proceedings of
the annual Western Social Science Association Meeting's American
Indian Studies Section without further refereeing beyond the
process of accepting papers for the meetings. We also hope
to have some special issues in the near future that will be
refereed.
Beginning with the Spring issue, Phil Bellfy will become
Editor of the journal, and coordinator of the refereeing process,
while Steve Sachs will move to being Senior Editor and Coordinator
of the IPJ Editorial Board.
As a part of these efforts, Phil has been discussing this
"upgrade" with administrators at Michigan State
University, and with the Director of the MSU Press, Gabriel
Dotto, who has expressed an interest in adding the new peer-reviewed
Indigenous Policy Journal to the Press' "Journals
Division," which currently has ten titles. Their website
is <http://msupress.msu.edu/journals/>. The plan is
to keep IPJ on the web, with subscriptions at no cost.
MSU Press may wish to publish a printed version of the journal
for an annual subscription fee.
Thus, IPJ immediately needs to assemble an "Editorial
Advisory Board." Among other things, the Board
will, in large part, consist of those scholars who express
a willingness to serve as "peer-reviewers." If you
are interested in serving in this capacity, please send Phil
(bellfy@msu.ed) or Steve (ssacchs@earthlink.net) your name,
"official" title, institutional affiliation, and
area(s) of expertise/interest. Also, if you have and wish
to include your Tribal/First Nations/Aboriginal/Indigenous
affiliation, we would be happy to include that information,
as well.
We continue to welcome involvement from everyone, Native
and non-Native, and those who are and who are not affiliated
with a college or university --including "independent
scholars," "community activists," those working
in NGOs, etc. In fact, it is our fervent desire to expand
our Editorial Advisory Board well beyond the "usual suspects"
that fill the mastheads of "traditional" academic
journals.
As we move ahead, we plan to keep the journal essentially
as it is now, but with more articles and commentary. We will
continue to include articles, commentary, reviews, calendar,
news, media notes and announcements that in some way relate
to Indigenous policy, broadly defined. We seek to expand our
focus on the policies of Indigenous nations. While the table
of contents and the substantive contents of the journal will
continue to include all its current sections, we hope to actually
have calendar, news, media notes and announcements posted
on a web site like "H-net," with direct links to
the table of contents on the IPJ web site, so that for the
reader they remain an integral part of the journal. For a
view of an H-net "discussion network" go to: <http://www.h-net.org/lists/>.
How all of this actually materializes will be a result of
collaboration between the IPJ Editorial Advisory
Board, the MSU Press, and H-Net (or some other listserve entity).
In addition, we intend to continue IPJ's inclusive
decision making, inviting everyone involved in its editing
and refereeing to join in dialoguing about its policies, format,
etc., while we continue to welcome reader input about the
journal, as well as commentary on journal writings and relevant
issues.

INDIGENOUS POLICY PLANS FOR 2008-09 - WE INVITE YOUR HELP
AND INPUT
We hope that you are having a fine fall.
This journal is available on the web with e-mail notification
of new issues at no charge. Indigenous Policy puts
out two regular issues a year (Spring and Fall), and beginning
summer 2006, a summer issue serving as the Proceedings of
the Western Social Science Association Meeting American Indian
Studies Section, with Steve Sachs, Paula Mohan, Phil Bellfy,
Ignacio Ochoa, Michael Posluns, and Annalise Romoser
as Coeditors. We are seeking
additional editors, columnists and commentators for regular
issues, and editors or editorial groups for special issues,
and short articles for each issue.
Jeff Corntassel and colleagues put together
a special winter 2002 issue with a focus on federal recognition
and Indian Sovereignty at the turn of the century. ”We
had a special issue on international indigenous affairs summer
2004.
We invite short articles, reports,
announcements and reviews of meetings, media and media, programs
and events, and short reports of news, commentary and exchange
of views, as well as willingness to put together special issues.
Send us your thoughts and queries
about issues and interests and replies can be printed in the
next issue and/or made by
e-mail. In addition, we will carry ISN news and business so
that these pages can be a source of ISN communication and
dialoguing in addition to circular letters and annual meetings
at APSA. In addition to being the newsletter/journal of the
Indigenous Studies Network, we collaborate with the Native
American Studies Section of the Western Social Science Association
(WSSA) and provide a dialoguing vehicle for all our readers.
This is your publication. Please let us know if you would
like to see more, additional, different, or less coverage
of certain topics, or a different approach or format.
Our process is for submissions
to go to Steve Sachs, who drafts each regular issue. Unsigned
items are by Steve. Paula Mohan, Phil Bellfy, Ignacio Ochoa
and Michael Posluns then make editing suggestions to Steve.
Phil puts this Journal on the web,
GUIDE
TO SUBMITTING WRITINGS TO IPJ
We most welcome submissions of articles,
commentary, news, media notes and announcements in some way
relating to American Indian or international indigenous policy
issues, broadly defined. Please send all submissions electronically
attached to E-mail to Steve Sachs: ssachs@earthlink.net, or
on disk, at: 1916 San Pedro, NE, Albuquerque, NM, 87110.
If you send writings in Word format, we know we can work with
them. We can translate some, but not all other formats into
Word.
If you have notes in your submission,
please put them in manually, as end notes as part of the text.
Do not use an automated foot/end note system that numbers
the notes as you go and put them in a footer.
(such automated notes are often lost, and if not, may appear
elsewhere in the journal, and not in your article, as several
writings are posted together in the same file. The one
exception is the Proceedings of the AIS section at the WSSA
meeting, in summer issues,
where each article is kept in its own file, and it is O.K
to use an automated note system.
If you use any tables in a submission,
please send a separate file(s) for them,
as it is impossible to work with them to put on the web when
they are an integral part of a Word text. Some other format/style
things are helpful to us, and appreciated, but not an absolute
requirement. As we publish in 12 point Times font, with single
spacing, and a space between paragraphs, it saves us work
if we receive writings that way. Many thanks. We look forward
to seeing what you send us.
