    Research Dissemination

    The editorial team of Political Studies Review is committed to presenting and visualizing research data to boost dissemination. We want to introduce research findings and articles published in the PSR to a broader audience.

    We believe that research findings can be translated into various forms of communication (including visual and audio content) to highlight the crucial elements of each research publication.

    Political Studies Review uses several forms of interactive research communication, including:

    We promote topics, articles and topical political matters via our Twitter account and we have seen a significant increase in our social media impact following the appointment of a dedicated social media professional. Our average Twitter activity oscilates around 60-100k impressions per month.

    This growth parallels a significant increase in publication downloads. Many articles promoted by PSR have already featured in the highest-ranked articles in PSR in terms of downloads and their ALTMETRIC scores.
