American Political Science Review ( APSR ) is a scientific journal on political science topics. It is published by the American Political Science Association and is considered one of the most important journals in political science.

editorial staff

For the years 2020–2024, the magazine is managed by a twelve-person editorial team consisting of Sharon Wright Austin, Michelle Dion, Celeste Montoya, Clarissa Rile Hayward, Kelly Kadera, Julie Novkov, Valeria Sinclair-Chapman, Dara Strolovitch, Aili M. Tripp, Denise Walsh , S. Laurel Weldon and Elisabeth Jean Wood. In order to take over their work on June 1, 2020, the new editorial team emphasized the special feature of an editorial team composed only of female scientists, which is in contrast to the often all-male editorial teams of scientific journals.

Before it was handed over to the team under Prof. Austin, the American Political Science Review was for the first time in its history outside North America in Europe from 2016-2020 at the Universities of Mannheim University , the London School of Economics and Political Science and the University of Cologne . The editorial team consisted of Thomas König , Sabine Carey , Thomas Bräuninger , Ken Benoit , Leigh Jenco , Ben Lauderdale and Ingo Rohlfing as well as a large number of ordinary members of the editorial board. Alyssa Taylor was the head of duty .
