Political Studies Review

Political Studies Review (PSR) provides a unique intellectual space for rigorous high-quality peer reviewed original research across political science and the study of politics in related fields that aims at stimulating wide-ranging debate and cutting-edge discussion of current disputes and issues in the discipline within the UK and internationally. The journal seeks to demonstrate the essential utility of political science through enhancing understanding and dialogue both within the political science profession, across disciplinary subfields and outside the scholarly community. PSR welcomes original and rigorous research articles, far-reaching and stimulating state-of-the-art articles, and shorter contributions presenting early results, new ideas, or interesting hypotheses that had to be rejected. PSR is one of the Political Studies Association’s flagship journals.

The PSA acknowledges the prevalence of systemic bias and unequal power dynamics within academia and publishing. The PSA believes that the promotion of equality and diversity should be core values for the practice of politics as well as the study, teaching and writing of politics. We are passionate about supporting inclusion in the academy and wider society through our publishing activities.

Working with our journal editors and publishing partner SAGE, we are doing this by:

• Publishing and amplifying content from diverse, global perspectives, including women, scholars of colour, LGBTQIA+ people, disabled people, and historically marginalised communities.
• Working to increase diversity of our journals’ editorial boards, peer review processes and author bases.
• Ensuring that our content and communications are inclusive and accessible, challenging bias and stereotypes.
