Business and Politics aims to foster the development of research in Politics, International trade, Political economy, Market economy and Government. Business and Politics holds forums on Politics that merges themes from other disciplines such as State (polity), Economic system, Public relations and Power (social and political). The study on Economic system presented in the journal intersects with the topics under Corporate governance.
International trade research featured in Business and Politics incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Multinational corporation, International economics, Globalization and Foreign direct investment. The study on Multinational corporation presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Corporate social responsibility. The Commercial policy study featured in it draws parallels with the field of Free trade.
The journal publications focus on Politics, Corporate governance, Economic system, Public relations and Power (social and political). The published articles explore issues in Politics which can be linked to other research areas like Public administration, Private governance, Scholarship and Market economy. The Economic system research presented in the journal articles focuses mostly on Multinational corporation and, on occasion, topics in Transaction cost, International trade and Convergence (economics).
The journal mostly deals with topics like Politics, Market economy, International economics, Political economy and Monetary economics. The journal facilitated discussions that integrated Politics and Social connectedness. The journal facilitates discussions on Market economy that incorporate concepts from other fields like Transparency (behavior), Welfare state, Pension and Power (social and political).
The concepts on International economics presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Event study, Supply chain, Order (exchange), Incentive and Sunk costs. The work on Political economy tackled in Business and Politics brings together disciplines like Legislation, Tobacco industry, State capture, Pariah group and Preference. The studies on Multinational corporation discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Collective action and Foreign direct investment.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Business and Politics (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Business and Politics (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 72.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 42.86% of all publications and 28.57% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
Are you considering submitting a research paper to Business and Politics? Understanding the submission process and guidelines is crucial to improve the chances of your work getting published. The first step is to ensure your work aligns with the journal's focus areas. Business and Politics primarily fosters research in Politics, International Trade, Political Economy, and Market Economy. Therefore, your research should have significant emphasis on these core areas or should include interdisciplinary studies merging these themes with the likes of Public Relations, Corporate Governance, International Economics, and Globalization among others. Once you're confident that your work fits within the journal's research areas, ensure to adhere to their formatting, referencing and word count guidelines. These specifics vary among journals and non-compliance can lead to your work being rejected. Also, consider having your paper peer-reviewed before submission. This could help refine the quality of your research and improve your chances of acceptance. Finally, submitting a paper to a journal frequently comes with a fee. Make sure to check the Business and Politics website for the exact amount and make provisions to cover these costs. If you're a new author, you could also consider taking some education or certification related to research and publishing ethics. For instance, if you're aiming to have a career in the educational or research institution you might be interested in understanding how to become a librarian in Texas. Signing up to be a peer reviewer for a journal in your field can also be a great way to learn more about the publication process. You'll have the opportunity to see what goes into a successful research paper and can apply this knowledge to your own work. Remember, the process of getting published involves much more than simply submitting your work. By staying well-informed and prepared, you can improve your chances of seeing your research in print.

(2020)Students interested in Political Science often explore related fields that complement their understanding of government, law, and social systems. One popular route is the criminal justice degree cost and program structures, which help learners evaluate financial considerations when pursuing justice-related careers online.
For those seeking foundational knowledge quickly, a 2 year criminal justice degree online offers an affordable and flexible option to enter careers in law enforcement, legal support, and public policy.
Graduate students might consider a masters in forensic psychology online to deepen expertise in the intersection of psychology, law, and criminal behavior—an area closely linked to political decision-making and justice reform.
Additionally, many careers in the legal sector begin with completing paralegal school, which prepares students for essential roles supporting attorneys and policymakers alike. These program options broaden career pathways for Political Science graduates beyond traditional government roles.
