《美國公共管理評論》是公共管理和公共事務領域的精英學術期刊之一。ARPA的身份是公共管理領域的核心，它的質量和聲譽隨著2010年該雜志成立40周年而同步增長。ARPA主要關注廣義的公共管理，在該領域的各個方面都發布了獎學金，包括組織與管理研究、項目與績效評估、預算與財務管理等傳統領域，以及網絡治理、公眾參與和公共服務動機等新興領域。

The American Review of Public Administration is one of the elite scholarly journals in public administration and public affairs. ARPA’s identity lies at the core of the field of public administration, and its quality and reputation have grown in tandem as the journal marked its fortieth year in 2010. ARPA focuses substantively on public administration broadly defined, publishing scholarship on all aspects of the field, including such traditional areas as organization and management studies, program and performance evaluation, and budgeting and financial management, as well as such emerging areas as network governance, public involvement and public service motivation.
