Welcome to Research and Politics

"Research & Politics aims to advance systematic peer-reviewed research in political science and related fields through the publication of the very best cutting-edge research and policy analysis. The journal provides a venue for scholars to communicate rapidly and succinctly important new insights to the broadest possible audience while maintaining the highest standards of quality control. To meet this goal Research & Politics publishes short, accessible articles that present novel findings or insights, or fresh views on current disputes or classic papers. The Journal is published online only and uses an open access model to enhance readership and impact. Articles are published simultaneously with technical research reports and appendices, with an emphasis on the highest standards of research ethics and, where applicable, replicability. Papers are accepted from political science, public policy, public administration, international relations and other related fields. Research & Politics is now open for submissions and the first articles will be published early in 2014."
