Crowdsourcing the Next Generation of Ideas in Political Psychology

Help shape the next generation of ideas in political psychology by contributing to a groundbreaking special issue! 

Are you interested in political cognition and behavior? Do you have an idea with the potential to create new theoretical insights or have important practical implications? Then consider submitting your idea for consideration for our new special issue of Political Psychology.  

** The deadlines for proposals and the expert survey have now passed. However, you can stay on top of news and updates by subscribing below or following us on Twitter.** 

OVERVIEW

In this special issue, we invert the usual “top-down” editor-driven approach to selecting articles, instead turning these decisions over to the community – that is, the social scientists that conduct political psychological research. In doing so, we test a more democratic approach to the academic publishing pipeline in which the best ideas win. 

Research groups are invited to submit short (150-word) “mini-proposals” outlining their best new ideas. These mini-proposals will be evaluated through an open survey of the field. The top 20 rated proposals will be invited to submit a full registered-report style proposal, which will then undergo peer review and be published in Political Psychology following data collection.
