As part of its mission to reflect the academic and professional debates affecting the political science community, over its first ten volumes European Political Science (EPS) has published many important contributions to issues concerning publishing challenges and technologies, publication ranking metrics and rankings of departments.
The first in a series of themed collections of EPS content, offers free access to notable articles and links to related content. I thought this may be of interest.
