The Cambridge University Press Awards for Excellence in Social Policy Scholarship recognises articles published in each of the SPA journals (Journal of Social Policy, Social Policy & Society, and the Journal of International & Comparative Social Policy) which display excellence in social policy scholarship.
Articles shortlisted and judged must display this through challenging boundaries of existing understanding, contributing to promoting an expansion of at least one area of research, teaching, practice and theoretical agendas, displaying excellence of research design, methodology and evidence-base, and engaging the interest of the journals readership.
