Dear colleagues,<\/p>\n

Happy New Year! We are excited to start our editorial term at Politics and Religion, and we thank you for entrusting us with this responsibility. Over the next few days, the journal\u2019s Cambridge homepage will reflect several new developments. We would like to bring a few of these to your attention.<\/p>\n

First, you can reach us at PandRJournal@unt.edu.<\/p>\n

Second, in addition to articles, Politics and Religion will now accept notes. These are meant to be problem-driven research manuscripts that address timely political issues, replicate existing research, and\/or report null findings. Notes should be about 4,500 words in length, including notes and references, but not tables and figures.<\/p>\n

Third, we have opted not to sign the JETS statement on Data Access & Research Transparency (DA-RT) at this time. This is something we will continue to weigh moving forward. We have, however, adopted the following policy in this area:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Editors affirm the importance of data transparency in evidence-based political science research. Authors are required to clearly specify their analytical techniques and outside sources of funding and encouraged to make their data publically available at the time of publication. The Editors understand, however, that the latter may not be possible or ethical, to the degree that data are proprietary, sensitive, or newly collected. Authors using publically available data should provide a DOI citation where possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fourth, the journal has a new Editorial Board. We are delighted and grateful that these fine scholars agreed to serve. They are as follows.<\/p>\n

Bethany Albertson, University of Texas at Austin, USA

Lars T\u00f8nder, University of Copenhagen, Denmark<\/p>\n

Finally, we thank Angie and Paul for their service as editors. We will try to live up to the high bar they set over the last five years\u2014no easy task!<\/p>\n

Best wishes for the New Year.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
Elizabeth A. Oldmixon, Editor-in-Chief
