In the interest of promoting open and reproducible science, the Journal of Experimental Political Science editorial team will pilot the pre-acceptance of preregistered reports. We note that the launch of this new submission option is a complement to, and does not replace, the option to submit other types of manuscripts. JEPS remains open to receiving and reviewing high quality manuscripts regardless of whether they are based on preregistered studies.

We are excited and honored to be the editorial team for JEPS. We are indebted to Eric Dickson for his efforts as the journal's previous editor. He set a high bar for JEPS as an outlet for high quality experimental research. Lucky for us, the healthy state of experimental research means that we will continue to have a deep pool of well-crafted and important work. We also thank Nick Haas, who deftly guided us through the transition as Editorial Assistant. Without his help, it would have been a near impossible task to get up to speed.

ABSTRACTData quality in survey research remains a paramount concern for those studying mass political behavior. Because surveys are conducted in increasingly diverse contexts around the world, ensuring that best practices are followed becomes ever more important to the field of political science. Bringing together insights from surveys conducted in more than 80 countries worldwide, this article highlights common challenges faced in survey research and outlines steps that researchers can take to improve the quality of survey data. Importantly, the article demonstrates that with the investment of the necessary time and resources, it is possible to carry out high-quality survey research even in challenging environments in which survey research is not well established.

Cognitive Psychotherapy

Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy is growingThere has been a steady increase in the flow of manuscripts to this journal, and I'm glad to say that the quality of submissions has commensurately improved. However, these trends have obviously created a problem, which is that there was simply not enough space for the range of excellent articles we have been receiving. The Association has therefore decided to increase the size of the journal by 25%. This should allow us to sustain a relatively short publication lag, and to maintain the mix of high quality clinical, theoretical and research material that has been the hallmark of the journal. Thanks to Cambridge University Press, particularly Janet Miles, for continued support and in making the transition to the larger size so straightforward. Of course, one of the reasons that we receive so many manuscripts is the fact that we are now one of the largest circulation journals in the field.As ever, there are other changes in the journal. Nick Tarrier leaves us after a very long and distinguished period as assistant editor. Thanks to you Nick (but don't assume that this means that you won't get more manuscripts!) Within the editorial office during 2000 we have had additional assistance from Patrick McKnight, who has now moved on, and we would like to thank him for the excellent work he put in. Caroline Bradley has retired from the post of assistant editor; we are grateful to her for her work in this capacity. By way of consolation for our editorial losses, Hermine Graham and Elizabeth Kuipers have joined the editorial team as assistant editors. I'm looking forward to working with them over the coming years.

Citation Advantage

ABSTRACTThe digital revolution has made it easier for political scientists to share and access high-quality research online. However, many articles are stored in proprietary databases that some institutions cannot afford. High-quality, peer-reviewed, top-tier journal articles that have been made open access (OA) (i.e., freely available online) theoretically should be accessed and cited more easily than articles of similar quality that are available only to paying customers. Research into the efficacy of OA publishing thus far has focused mainly on the natural sciences, and the results have been mixed. Because OA has not been as widely adopted in the social sciences, disciplines such as political science have received little attention in the OA research. In this article, we seek to determine the efficacy of OA in political science. Our primary hypothesis is that OA articles will be cited at higher rates than articles that are toll access (TA), which means available only to paying customers. We test this hypothesis by analyzing the mean citation rates of OA and TA articles from eight top-ranked political science journals. We find that OA publication results in a clear citation advantage in political science publishing.
