Political Science Research is a different kind of journal. It’s research dissemination for the digital age. The right incentive structure for open, living, collaborative, timely, political science.

In the 21st century,

… should an article's impact depend on where it's published? … should an article be frozen in time, with no revisions possible? … should an article stand alone, without scholarly dialogue attached?

PSR IS

• All-digital, open access
• Uses a collaborative authoring platform – no separate ‘submission’ step with formatting requirements
• Only cursory, non-selective, super-fast pre-publication review to ensure papers are up to basic disciplinary standards
• Robust, dialogic, transparent (public), ‘signed’, and credited post-publication review
• Publications can be updated – they’re living documents
• Pre-registration of research designs is integrated with the article
• Papers may include embedded media, replication data, visualizations, and more
• New metrics facilitate better curation
• PSR is NOT a pre-print service – if it’s published in PSR it cannot be published elsewhere in an old-fashioned (dare we say ‘anachronistic’) journal.

How do submissions work and how do they appear?
