See above question. However, some section journals are available only in print.

Due to print deadlines, the journal is usually printed two weeks before its issue month. Members who renew at the beginning of a month will most likely not receive the journal for that particular month, but will receive the journal of the following month.

For example, members who join on the first of January will receive the February journal; however, members who join during the last half of January will most likely miss the February journal and will have to await the March journal.

If you miss your first journal for this reason, please email [email protected] so that we can personally request for your journal to be sent to you.

For nonmembers who would like to purchase APSA journals, email the publisher of the APSA journal directly. In Cambridge's case, this email is [email protected]

Official Copyright Transfer Agreements for each APSA journal can be found on the publisher's website under the journal's information. For easier access, use our "Journals" page and click on any of the "Info" buttons to be taken to each publisher's website. The forms are straightforward, but if any questions arise, use the journal's customer service email or, if already working on a submission, contact the editor that you have been working with.

DA-RT began as an idea, a set of principles included in the 2012 changes to the APSA ethics guide. Following lengthy discussion and debate, DA-RT culminated in a joint statement among 27 political science journals (including the American Political Science Review), seeking to implement the following by January 15, 2016:

• Require authors to ensure that cited data are available at the time of publication through a trusted digital repository.

• Require authors to delineate clearly the analytic procedures upon which their published claims rely, and where possible to provide access to all relevant analytic materials.

• Maintain a consistent data citation policy to increase the credit that data creators and suppliers receive for their work. These policies include using data citation practices that identify a dataset’s author(s), title, date, version, and a persistent identifier.

• Ensure that journal style guides, codes of ethics, publication manuals, and other forms of guidance are updated and expanded to include improved data access and research transparency requirements.

For more information regarding DA-RT principles, visit the official website.
