The Keystone Journal (KJ) is published by the Connors Institute for Nonpartisan Research & Civic Engagement at Shippensburg University.

KJ is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed publication dedicated to showcasing outstanding intellectual work. This includes original empirical research, theory, lit reviews/meta-analyses, creative pieces, book reviews, and more. We welcome a wide range of heterodox points of view from scholars at any stage of their career — from undergraduates and graduate students to seasoned professors to practitioners out in the field.
