STANFORD, California, May 16 — The Roosevelt Institution, a student-run think tank founded at Stanford and Yale, is launching a national policy-research journal over the summer. The Roosevelt Review, a 100- to 200-page annual journal, will contain papers written by America’s brightest students on a wide variety of policy issues, including healthcare, international security, economic opportunity, social justice, electoral transparency, and environmental and energy policy.

With an initial distribution of 4,000 copies, the Roosevelt Review will be one of the think tank’s most significant means of sending innovative ideas directly to legislators, government agencies, journalists, civil-society organizations, and others responsible for contributing to public policy at the state and federal levels. “The Review will contain the best work to come out of the Roosevelt Institution so far, and it will be a consolidated document of student policy ideas — which is a real first in the policy world,” said Margot Isman, the think tank’s Policy Promotion Coordinator at Stanford University.

The Roosevelt Institution, which is quickly expanding to other top colleges and universities, chooses the best student policy research for publication from America’s institutions of higher learning. The Review’s Selection Committee, a group of scholars from diverse backgrounds, includes some of academia’s leading minds. The Committee’s members not only choose which articles to publish in The Review; they also fully endorse all of these papers.

Submissions should be sent to rooseveltreview@gmail.com by May 22. Articles will be chosen based on the merit of their analysis, originality, and readability. Papers should be either mid-length analyses of up to 15 pages, or shorter pieces of 2-6 pages.

The Roosevelt Institution is a think tank devoted to bringing the policy research of college students to the attention of academia, media, and government.
