Ekaterina Rashkova completes her term as EPS Co-Editor

We extend our warmest thanks to Ekaterina as she completes her seven-year tenure as Co-Editor for our professional journal, European Political Science (EPS).

Ekaterina Rashkova, who is Associate Professor of Comparative Politics at the Public Governance and Management unit at Utrecht University School of Governance, has been fundamental in maintaining EPS’s growth and development since joining the editorial team in 2015.

She has greatly contributed to the journal’s growth in readership and profile, which has achieved excellent, ever-increasing Impact Factor scores throughout her term’s duration. This includes working with fellow Co-Editors to produce the journal's milestone 20th Anniversary Issue in 2021.

In her own words

‘I have served as an editor of EPS for seven years. During this time, together with my Co-Editors, we started new initiatives and brought the journal to a new light. In these years, I learned how to find and solicit quality work, how to handle a variety of submissions, and how to keep the journal competitive.

It has been a truly wonderful journey and the people I met along the way will stay friends despite us all taking back onto our own paths at one time or another.’

ECPR wishes to both acknowledge and thank Ekaterina for her excellent work.

About the journal

European Political Science (EPS) is devoted to publishing contributions by and for the political science community. It publishes pieces on how the discipline is, can and ought to be.

Articles address pressing matters in research, professional life, teaching and learning as well as relations between academia and politicians, policy-makers, journalists and ordinary citizens. EPS also includes more substantive pieces that provide a political science perspective on important current events.

In addition to original articles, the journal carries shorter notes, review articles and symposia, progress reports on lively areas of research and profiles of people in the profession.

Following Ekaterina's departure, EPS remains under the oversight of the continuing Editorial Team comprising:
