 To celebrate the 20th year of JPART publication and to mark George
Frederickson’s extraordinary contribution to that journal, the current and
former editors of the journal are putting together a virtual collection of
JPART articles.   We are asking you to nominate articles that might appear
in that collection representing diverse methodological approaches,
theoretical issues, and substantive topics.

While the audience for this collection of articles is broadly construed to
be all those researchers interested in public administration and management,
it is also hoped that it will be of particular value to the next generation
of researchers in the field.   It is our hope that this work will be used in
doctoral level education in two ways.  First, each article will provide an
exemplar of high quality research from all the different types of work
present in the field; the reader will represent a range of issues and topics
as well as both quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches.
 Second, the reader will also provide a picture of the state of both
theoretical and empirical knowledge in the field.

We are not being explicit about the criteria that you might use to make your
nominations.  Some of you will emphasize different approaches and articles
that have been relevant to your own work.  Others will focus on
representative articles that meet your idea of the developments in the
field.   Please be clear about the criteria you used and why you think the
article is an exemplar.  We would expect you to nominate no more than two
articles; the nominated articles will then be considered by the four past
and current editors.

Please send your nominations to Beryl Radin (radin@american.edu) by January
30th.
