14 Police Q. 3 (2011)

handle is hein.journals/policqurt14 and id is 1 raw text is: Articles Police Quarterly 14(1) 3-4 Editorial @ 201II SAGE Publications Reprints and permission: http://www. sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1098611111398560 http://pqx.sagepub.com $SAGE Welcome to volume 14 of Police Quarterly (PQ). Consistent with past practice of writing an editorial for each new volume, here again I remind potential authors of the journal's editorial policy and present the latest journal statistics. Before I do that, however, let me share some great news. Thomson Reuters Indexing I am pleased to report that PQ has been selected for coverage in Thomson Reuters products and services. Beginning with the current issue, the journal will be indexed and abstracted in the following: * Social Sciences Citation Index® * Journal Citation Reports/Social Sciences Edition * Current Contents®/Social and Behavioral Sciences Journals are selected based on article publication standards, editorial content, inter- national diversity of research and authorship, and citation data. According to Thomson Reuters, only 10 to 12% of journals evaluated for inclusion in their databases are selected (For more details on the journal selection process, see http://thomsonreuters .com/productsservices/science/free/essays/joumal selectionprocess). This is a testament to the quality of the work published in PQ, which of course begins with our authors. The first official PQ rating will be due out in 2 years. In the meantime, please continue to submit your best research to the journal and cite PQ articles in your own work. Editorial Policies For work to get published in PQ, it must satisfy the following requirements: 1. Scholarship must be original and of clear interest to both the scholarly and practitioner communities. The journal prefers empirical work that tests one or more specific research questions, but high-quality legal studies and policy analyses will also be considered. Except in rare circumstances, argumentative essays and purely descriptive research will not be published. 2. PQ has a rather strong desk rejection policy. The editor will not seek external reviews of articles that have a low chance of acceptance and/or are inconsistent with the journal's focus.
