Now online ft. @lalamur.bsky.social! "This article presents the first assessment of OSP in the field of DI research from 1970 to 2021 (N=6,384). The only prevalent OSP that we found was the publication of results in OA journals." www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This article took a really long time to be published! We started the project in 2021, then life happened. Some reviewers also didn't like the application of OSP to demoinno lit with my wonderful co-authors Matt Ryan, Rafa Mestre, Masood Gheasi and George Bolton from @sotonpolitics.bsky.social

🚨 New in Journal of Politics! 🚨 Do radical right parties need to cut ties with old dictatorships to succeed? 👉 @sergipardos.bsky.social and my study of Spain’s VOX says: ❌ Not necessarily.

New Post: "For Your Syllabus: Statistical Power" Add content on statistical power to your social science courses. Not just to methods courses. For substantive courses, Bloom's MDE (i.e., 80% power to detect 2.5*SE) is easy to teach and really helpful! www.carlislerainey.com/blog/2025-08...

Climate models since the 1970s nailed it—most predicted global warming almost exactly as it happened.

This is the kind of article APSR used to be famous for. The ones that make your brain explode, that challenge you, confuse you, test your patience, and make you smarter by making you realize your limitations. Well done Erica Simmons and @nickrushsmith.bsky.social‬ 👏

A cool new article @ajpseditor.bsky.social on the role of emotions in preferences by @laiabalcells.bsky.social and Elsa Voytas onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... The museum exhibit evokes strong emotions in individuals, but it does not change perceptions of past conflict or preferences.

You can read find more about details at www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... Thanks to all that helped along the way!

Last week, with 11 other colleagues I look up to, we did something major & formed a new non-profit association, @epssnet.bsky.social . It is a lot of work and can only be successful if people support it. Please consider becoming a member today & let us know if you want to be involved.

It was @stanveuger.bsky.social who had an interesting paper on the effects of protests on voting patterns that I feel like people should remember. It turns out generating domestic instability and dealing with mass protests are an extremely effective way to get blown the fuck out as an incumbent.

This is so painful to watch. But the Europeans commenting below cannot pretend that the root of this - racism against immigrants, disgust for vulnerable foreign labour - does not exist here. Just that US institutions are both powerful and toxic and allowed the state to mobilize for this witch hunt.

“Conversation in public, shared spaces has a special power in these polarised, lonely, even dehumanising times. A sense of community requires much more than a few chairs on the pavement, but it is a good place to start.” My opinion piece @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wow! "The average female researcher in departments with more women publishes more and receives more citations than the average female researcher in universities with a lower share of female faculty" ‪@egenpolisci.bsky.social‬ @sotonpolitics.bsky.social dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

Wow, what a cool new research on #deliberation #climatechange #representation #gender @ajpseditor.bsky.social "Women's presence also shifts the content of deliberations toward prospective solutions for which women have socially recognized expertise..." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

"countering violent extremism requires more than just challenging harmful narratives—it also demands addressing the emotional triggers that translate these attitudes into mobilization and political action." by F.Veri & F. Maier onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

It's the one year book-iversary of Holding It Together, and I think its message is more urgent than ever. Because the book is about how the US came to rely on women as its safety net. But that story is fundamentally a story of what happens when billionaires don't want to pay their fair share. 1/
