Scope/Description:

The Journal of Experimental Political Science JEPS features cuttingedge research that utilizes experimental methods or experimental reasoning based on naturally occurring data. We define experimental methods broadly research featuring random or quasirandom assignment of subjects to different treatments in an effort to isolate causal relationships in the sphere of politics. JEPS embraces all of the different types of experiments carried out as part of political science research including survey experiments laboratory experiments field experiments lab experiments in the field natural and neurological experiments. We invite authors to submit concise articles around 4000 words or fewer that immediately address the subject of the research. We do not require lengthy explanations regarding and justifications of the experimental method. Nor do we expect extensive literature reviews of pros and cons of the methodological approaches involved in the experiment unless the goal of the article is to explore these methodological issues. We expect readers to be familiar with experimental methods and therefore to not need pages of literature reviews to be convinced that experimental methods are a legitimate methodological approach. We will consider longer articles in rare but appropriate cases as in the following examples when a new experimental method or approach is being introduced and discussed or when novel theoretical results are being evaluated through experimentation. Finally we strongly encourage authors to submit manuscripts that showcase informative null findings or inconsistent results from welldesigned executed and analyzed experiments.
