The Political Science Monograph in a Changing Communication Ecology

Abstract

Scholarly communication is undergoing momentous change, in the context of multiplying publication channels, electronic formats and Open Access. Yet books have been overshadowed in debates about the associated challenges facing political science, even though they have been formative for many parts of the discipline. This Panel brings together different stakeholders in political science scholarship to explore three questions: One, what is the current status of the book in contemporary political science in terms of contributing to debates, reaching readers, attracting citations and gaining promotion? Two, what is the role of books in the kind of research we publish: how does the extended format and materiality of print books help shape ideas and work in individual projects and broader debates? Three, how do emerging trends and models of digital books and Open Access obstruct or offer ways of developing the elements of long-form research communication that are of value to the study of politics?
