German Politics primarily focuses on research topics in Politics, Political economy, Market economy, Law and Public administration. In German Politics, Government, Economic history, State (polity) and Development economics are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Politics research. While German Politics focused on Political economy, it was also able to explore topics like Federal republic, Voting, Foreign policy, Economy and Democracy.
Most of the Foreign policy studies addressed also intersect with Power (social and political). While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Public administration, it also covered topics in Legislature and Federalism.
The most cited publications generally zeroe in on subjects such as Politics, Political economy, Market economy, Public administration and Law. The most cited papers explore issues in Politics which can be linked to other research areas like Government and Positive economics. The most cited papers explore topics in Political economy which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Development economics, Foreign policy, Economy and Voting.
The journal mainly tackles studies in Political economy, Politics, Foreign policy, Economic history and Humanities. German Politics holds forums on Political economy that merges themes from other disciplines such as Niche, Legislation, Fiscal sustainability, German government and Refugee. Some problems in Politics that were presented in German Politics overlapped with concepts under Identity (social science) and Mainstream.
The subject of Digital transformation, which is connected to the field of Public administration, serves as the foundation of the Mainstream research featured in the journal. While Foreign policy is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Use of force, International trade, Narrative and International theory. Publishing, Immigration and Power (social and political) are some topics wherein Economic history research discussed in it have an impact.
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 German 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 German 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, 86.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 50.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 16.67% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 33.33% 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.

(2020)Exploring Political Science often opens doors to a variety of related fields where critical thinking and understanding of legal systems are crucial. Many students consider degrees in criminal justice as a complementary path. Understanding how much does a criminal justice degree cost can help prospective students plan their education expenses effectively.
Starting with an accredited online criminal justice associate degree provides foundational knowledge applicable to numerous roles within the justice system, from law enforcement to policy-making. For those interested in psychological aspects tied to criminal behavior, pursuing a master's in forensic psychology online offers advanced insight and career specialization.
Additionally, a legal assistant’s expertise is vital in both political and legal arenas. Enrolling in an accelerated program like the paralegal school online can quickly equip students with practical legal skills, enhancing career flexibility and marketability.
These pathways highlight the interdisciplinary connections that enrich a Political Science education, providing diverse career opportunities in law, justice, and psychological analysis.
