  • Descrição: I am happy to report that Perspectives on Politics continues to thrive. In the almost seven years since we assumed editorial control of the journal, in June 2009, we have succeeded in strengthening journal operations and procedures and in projecting a new and growing excitement about Perspectives and the role it can play in contributing to the invigoration of the discipline. We have a highly talented, energetic, and well-organized staff, and we have developed a strong set of procedures for dealing with authors, reviewers, and each other. As a consequence we have continued to work efficiently and stay on production schedule with APSA, Cambridge, and the compositors. I continue to receive a great deal of positive feedback from authors and from readers about the journal, its quality, its special sections, and its accessibility and responsiveness. More importantly, we continue to receive a growing flow of manuscripts of an increasingly high quality, from established scholars eager to place their work in our journal and from more junior scholars who regard Perspectives and its mission as hospitable to their view of political science. In the past year we received one fewer than last year's record number of article submissions, and have published a wide range of authors from a variety of institutions. In 2015 Perspectives published 19 articles (with 30 authors), seven Reflections and Praxis essays (with 15 authors), three Reflections symposia (with 15 contributors), and three book symposia (with 11 contributors), 12 critical dialogues, and 313 book reviews. We thus published the work of over 400 political scientists. If you add to that the number of manuscript reviewers with which we have corresponded, in 2015 the journal networked with more than 1,100 political scientists. Through our extensive and substantive correspondence and through the product of that correspondence--the journal itself--we believe we are succeeding in our goal of fostering a political science public sphere. The Appendix to this report includes some basic publication and production data. We will be happy to answer any questions about this data to the best of our ability.In what follows I would like briefly to outline a range of accomplishments worthy of note, which together help to explain our success thus far. In doing so, I will reiterate some of the themes of last year's report, since they are essential to our ongoing operations, and also since each year new members join the Council, and my goal is to keep every member of the Council maximally informed about our journal operations.
