The EJOPA Experience – Our Tenth Year: Volume 10, Issue 1

Please allow us to take a moment to brag a little and share a lot of credit. Volume 10, Issue 1 marks our 10-year anniversary of publishing the eJournal of Public Affairs, or eJOPA. The journal evolved from a print publication put out by Missouri State University between 1997 and 2006. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Rachelle Darabi, in collaboration with the American Democracy Project, eJOPA restarted as an online publication in 2012. Adhering to its commitment to excellence and innovation, eJOPA has met its ambitious goal of publishing three issues a year—with just two exceptions: once in 2016, when our managing editor died tragically, and the other in 2020, due to the COVID-19 crisis we are all still facing.
