Stanford Social Innovation Review

One-time event
Arts & Media

Founded in 2003, Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR) produces authoritative, cutting-edge articles, podcasts, videos, webinars, and conferences on issues facing leaders of nonprofits, foundations, businesses, and government agencies. SSIR emphasizes cross-sector solutions to global problems and highlights individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the field. SSIR covers a wide range of topics, including social entrepreneurship, nonprofit management, and philanthropic strategies, as well as educational reform, poverty alleviation, and environmental protection.

If SSIR is interested in your article or proposal for an article, an editor will reach out to you. If you have submitted only a proposal, the editor may request an article draft before making a final decision on whether to publish the article or not. If an article is accepted, editors may substantially edit or rewrite a draft to ensure it appeals to SSIR readers. This can take anywhere from two to 12 weeks, depending on where we are in our publication cycle and whether you want to be considered for the magazine or only online. We aim to respond to all submissions in a timely manner.

Eligibility

SSIR seeks to present interesting, original, and important ideas about social innovation to leaders who can put those ideas to work.

SSIR asks all authors to verify that their article has not appeared elsewhere and that they will not submit it to another publication unless SSIR declines to publish it.

Submissions, whether full drafts or proposals for articles, must be in Microsoft Word .docx format. Authors should decide in advance whether they want to be considered for publication in the magazine (which includes the publication of an online version of the article) or only online. They should also note which type of SSIR article best describes their submission. Do not submit one article to multiple editors. Please take the time to choose which medium and which type of SSIR article is the best fit for your submission, and contact the appropriate editor.
