Carnegie Corporation of New York Grant

Research & Politics is a recipient of a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York under its “Bridging the Gap” initiative. The grant will support the work of Research & Politics in its mission to provide an innovative outlet that disseminates the work of scholars of political science beyond the confines of academia. The goal of the grant is to support outlets that make the work of academics more accessible and to give scholars of political science incentives to write on topics of broad public interest.

From 2016 the grant will sponsor open access charges for all authors for a period of two years (2016 and 2017), and therefore the article processing charge (APC) waiver policy will continue for all accepted articles in Research & Politics during this timeframe.
