EJPR welcomes new Editors of Open Science

We’re excited to welcome Julia Schulte-Cloos and Robert Huber as EJPR's new Editors of Open Science – a major step as the journal prepares to go fully open access.

A leading voice in political science, the European Journal of Political Research is placing open science at the heart of its agenda under its recently appointed editorial team. With Julia and Robert now on board, the team will steer EJPR through its flip to open access next year, in partnership with Cambridge University Press.

This strategic shift will make all EJPR content freely available to the global scholarly community, reinforcing the journal’s commitment to rigorous, transparent, and accessible research.

The Editors of Open Science will play a key role in ensuring EJPR continues to set the standard for excellence in political science amid a rapidly evolving publishing landscape. They will:

  • Strengthen EJPR’s open science and replication policies
  • Develop Registered Reports as a new submission type
  • Shape new author guidelines for clear, transparent scientific reporting

Robert’s work explores the impact of globalisation on liberal democracy. Using state-of-the-art methods, from qualitative case studies to causal inference with observational data and experimental designs, he investigates how populism and climate politics exert pressure on liberal democracy.

A strong advocate of open science, Robert leads collaborative, data-driven projects which are valuable sources of knowledge for academic and policy communities alike.
