The 2024 Scopus CiteScore is out, and I have some exciting news to share! PSJ earned an impressive CiteScore of 12.3. This puts us at #20 out of 1,497 journals in Sociology and Political Science and #2 out of 242 journals in Public Administration.

Scopus dropped its March CiteScore, and PSJ @psjeditor.bsky.social is sitting at 12.2! That's a small bump up from last month. Huge thanks for all your support!

Come meet the PSJ editors! I’ll be there Thursday.

Pausing doom scrolling to share my new publication, looking at the power of entertainment media to shape policy attitudes. We find that people who watched (and were deeply engaged in) the film Don't Look Up held stronger pro-environmental attitudes: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We are primed to hit 200k+ sign-ups TODAY! It’s time to expand our circles of sharing. This means reaching out to political & social service groups we feel would be receptive to joining us. At this rate, to be transparent, if we continue to gain 100k/wk it will take 110 wks to get to 11 mil.

It’s nuts that I haven’t posted on BlueSky in a year and somehow I have almost 800 followers. Maybe I should actually post here!

That final exam I just gave in an online class--a handful of students used ChatGPT for their short answers and changed just enough of the wording to make it hard for me to do anything about it.

I'm very happy that Bettina Stauffer's and my article on the policy dimension in the Narrative Policy Framework #NPF made it to PSJ's new blog! If you want to know to get a brief overview of what the article is about (➡️ tl;dr 😉), click here: psjblog.net/2023/10/25/p...

One by one, my devices logged me out of Twitter. And since I cannot remember my password and refuse to reset it, I am officially done with that other place! Feels good.
