<strong><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Palo Alto, CALIF. (May 12, 2020) — </span></strong><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Nonprofit publisher Annual Reviews is pleased to announce
that the 2020 volume of the <a name="https___annualreviews_org_journal_polisc"></a><a href="https://annualreviews.org/journal/polisci" target="_blank"><span style="mso-bookmark:https___annualreviews_org_journal_polisc"><em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#954F72">Annual

articles published under a CC BY license. The back volumes, dating from 1998, are now freely available. The <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Annual Review of Political Science </span></em>is the third of five journals included in a 2020 pilot
program for Subscribe to Open; the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Annual Review of Cancer Biology </span></em>and the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Annual Review of Public Health </span></em>were published open access using
Subscribe to Open on March 9, 2020 and April 2, 2020, respectively. The status of the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Annual Review of Environment and Resources </span></em>and the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Annual Review
of Nuclear and Particle Science </span></em>will be announced when they publish.<br>

for sustainable open access publishing that provides an alternative to article processing charges (APCs), the mechanism used by most open access journals. It uses existing library relationships and subscription purchases to convert gated journals to open access.
Institutions simply continue to subscribe—there are no additional processes—and as long as subscription revenues are maintained, the year’s volume is published open access and the back volumes are made freely available.<br>
<br>
The Co-Editors of the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Annual Review of Political Science</span></em>, Margaret Levi, Director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, and Nancy L. Rosenblum, Professor
of Ethics in Politics and Government emerita at Harvard University, responded jointly to the news: “In a time when our governments and our political life have never been more important, the Editorial Committee of the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Annual
Review of Political Science</span></em> is particularly pleased to open its pages to all. Our journal surveys and assesses recent research on every aspect of politics: national and global, institutions and practices, public policy, political theory, and research
methods. The authors are recognized authorities. Open access will bring this work to audiences for whom political science research is critical: policy makers, journalists, scholars and students, and the interested public. We are delighted that this research
will be freely available.”<br>
<br>
Richard Gallagher, President and Editor-in-Chief of Annual Reviews, praised the collaborative relationship between the publisher and its subscriber base. “We share a common interest in full and free access to the scientific literature, and it is this that has
made open access to the<em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> Annual Review of Political Science </span></em>possible. We are especially pleased to add a renowned social sciences journal to Subscribe to Open; open access is equally important across
all areas of research.”<br>
<br>
Annual Reviews thanks the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for funding the development of Subscribe to Open, which was undertaken in partnership with Raym Crow, Managing Partner, Chain Bridge Group.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
