| Sumario: | The writers generated a ranking of scholarly publishers in political science using data from a survey of 603 American political scientists. Open-ended questions were used respondents to determine those scholarly publishers (1) to which they would submit “a very strong book manuscript” in their area of expertise, and (2) that they “read regularly or otherwise rely for the best research” in their area of expertise. The writers created rankings of scholarly presses based on publication and reading preferences. The writers found that certain high-profile university presses constitute a clear first tier in American political scientists' preference orderings, followed by a mix of commercial and university presses that embody the second tier and beyond.
