The scientific interests tackled in the journal are Political economy, Politics, Law, Democracy and State (polity). Issues in Political economy were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Authoritarianism, Democratization, Government, Parliament and Europeanisation. Many of the research works in Politics, specifically Communism, Opposition (politics) and Representation (politics), closely connected to disciplines like Context (language use).
The journal focuses on Law but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Corporate governance and Public administration.
The published papers mostly deal with topics like Political economy, Law, Politics, Democracy and State (polity). The most cited publications hold forums on Political economy that merge themes from other disciplines such as Democratization, Parliament, Whip (politics), New Democracy and Corruption. The journal publications about East-Central Europe, Multi-level governance and Great power research are fields of study within Politics but they also intertwine with concepts in Space (commercial competition) and Scale (social sciences).
The journal mainly tackles studies in Political economy, Politics, Communism, Prime (order theory) and Solidarity. The studies on Political economy discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Post communist, Government, Regime change, Democracy and Public opinion. The research on Politics tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of European integration and Media studies.
Solidarity research featured in East European Politics incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Citizenship, Social movement and Opposition (politics). Legal culture research discussed in it aim to provide more information in the subject of Law. Law research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Hegemony.
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 East European 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 East European 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, 12.68% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 32.26% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.74% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.90% of all publications and 37.10% 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.

(2021)Studying Political Science in the USA opens doors to a wide range of interdisciplinary opportunities. Many students explore related fields through online degrees that complement political knowledge with practical skills in public policy, urban development, and administration.
For those interested in city development and policy implementation, exploring urban planning masters programs provides valuable expertise in designing sustainable communities and managing urban growth.
Another growing area is forensic psychology, which intersects with political science in legal and criminal justice contexts. Understanding what can you do with a masters in forensic psychology can expand career options into investigative and analytical roles within government agencies.
For students seeking advanced study, doctoral programs without dissertation offer flexible paths to attain higher qualifications without the traditional dissertation requirement, ideal for working professionals.
Lastly, those aiming for leadership and management in the public sector may consider a one year mpa, which provides accelerated training for careers in government, nonprofits, and policy advisory roles.
