All change on the European Journal of Political Research (EJPR), as it introduces a seven-strong editorial team comprising scholars from three continents!
The European Journal of Political Research is consistently one of the highest-ranking journals in the discipline. It specialises in theoretically or methodologically original articles which articulate conceptual and comparative perspectives with broad theoretical relevance.
In line with ECPR’s EDI goals, the editors proposed a bigger team to improve diversity in geography and gender. This more diverse profile will widen the journal’s scope, allowing it to publish more research focusing on the majority world, and to put greater emphasis on open data.
We are delighted to take over the editorship of EJPR. Our heartfelt thanks to the outgoing team for their splendid work. Publishing in EJPR is a career-making milestone, and we are mindful of the magnitude of the task ahead.
We affirm the journal’s commitment to rigorous research, and we aim to increase the diversity of authors, reviewers, topics, and readers. We’re planning initiatives to foster open science, such as more stringent recommendations for reporting quantitative results, making explicit the contribution of each author (eg via the CRediT taxonomy), promoting pre-registration and pre-analysis plans when possible, and opening up a new position of Editor for Open Science. We may also allow submission of Registered Reports.
During our first year, we will investigate the rise of AI in peer review and propose interventions. We will strive to develop positive incentives for reviewers, minimising, whenever possible, the length of the review process. We are united in our strong stance against incivility in peer review.
We look forward to engaging with authors, reviewers, and readers to maintain EJPR’s trailblazing position in political science publishing.
