BOOKS BY OUR MEMBERS

CONCLUSIONIn our past four years of stewarding the APSR, this report shows that we met or exceeded most of our goals.We developed and implemented policies that aimed to promote the principles we articulated in our initial proposal to serve as editors: editorial transparency; editorial checks and balances; a commitment to research ethics; substantive, methodological, and representational diversity; active engagement with the APSA membership; and modernizing the journal's communications.We increased the visibility of the journal through our social media outreach.With the help of Cambridge University Press, we substantially increased the number of Open Access articles published.We expanded the substantive and methodological scope of articles, and increased the proportion of accepted articles that focus on Race, Ethnicity and Politics and on gender and politics.We saw increases in the submission and acceptance of articles by people of color and people identifying as women.These and other strategies resulted in measurable JIF and Altmetric Attention Score increases.Overall, our submissions increased substantially compared with previous teams.Our overall acceptance rate stood at 7.1%, a rate higher than our predecessor teams.We doubled the research content of the journal by doubling our page use.We also managed to maintain reasonable turnaround times for authors despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic.As a cohesive, collaborative, and effective team, we are pleased with what we were able to accomplish and grateful for the opportunity to guide the journal during our term.
