“…According to Manners (2007: 90), such claims are ‘monstrous’ and ‘only lead to tighter straightjackets.’ Although the call for theoretical rigor and systematic research designs was welcomed broadly and is embraced by a seemingly ever-growing group of scholars, EU research remains dominated by scholars from Western Europe, especially Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. Furthermore, the gender gap that persists at EUP (Bettecken et al, 2022; Hagemann, 2022), and the social sciences in general (Dion et al, 2018; Stockemer, 2022; Teele and Thelen, 2017), remains a matter of concern.…”

In this article, we analyze how European Union Politics has evolved over the last 25 years. Our analysis demonstrates that the goals the editorial team has pursued over this quarter century have only partly been reached. While the journal has helped to consolidate EU studies as a field of research in its own rights, several problems of representation persist in the journal and the social sciences in general. We identify besides the well-known gender gap that especially authors from the (European) South and East continue to be underrepresented in submitted and published articles. While less represented and successful at the submission stage, our results show that female scholars are more likely than male author teams to publish high-impact articles. Our findings indicate that studies of political behavior, broadly conceived, and articles using quantitative methods are well-represented. The article concludes with some remarks on how the journal might help to further professionalize the study of the EU in the coming years.

“…Some journals now report their gender distribution figures on an annual basis as part of their overall performance indicators (ibid). This article evaluates this trend and looks at the performance of European political science journals and the conclusions from a recent European Political Science (2022) symposium on 'The gendered distribution of authors and reviewers in major European political science journals' (Stockemer, 2022). It argues that making data available is the first and necessary step in the endeavour to combat unequal representation in academic publishing.…”

Data from leading scholarly journals and publishing houses show that the gender gap in academic publishing is deep and persistent. This has considerable consequences for individual careers and for academic knowledge across disciplines. As European political science journals have started to publish their gender data for submissions and publication processes, this article evaluates this trend and the conclusions from a recent symposium on ‘The gendered distribution of authors and reviewers in major European political science journals’. It summarises a list of ‘key gender data’ that journal editors are encouraged to publish on an annual basis to achieve a more accurate and comprehensive picture for individual journals and across the discipline. It also includes suggestions for editors to ensure better citations of female scholars in their journals.
