![Commentary. Commentaries critique and/or supplement articles previously published in Political Psychology. The major criteria for a commentary are that it provides a new perspective on the article it is commenting on, and that this new perspective makes an important difference to the interpretation of the target article. Commentaries can include new data and/or new analyses of existing data, but they need not. Authors of commentaries should not be an author or coauthor of the article on which they are commenting. As with all of our articles, the format of commentaries at the initial submission is flexible. Commentaries should be no more than approximately 1500 words (not including references, abstract, tables, figures, and title page). We encourage authors to cite only the most relevant works, rather than aiming to be comprehensive in their citations. Commentaries should also adhere to Political Psychology’s transparency policies. The title of a commentary must begin with the word “Commentary.”
We will solicit reviews on the submitted commentary, including from the lead author of the target article. If the commentary is accepted, we will usually invite the author or authors of the target article to submit a Reply to Commentary.
Replies to commentaries allow authors of articles to formally respond to commentaries. These replies will be invitation only, and we will solicit reviews on the reply, including from the lead author of the commentary. Because of the nature of replies, the reply manuscript will not be blinded to reviewers. The acceptance of the reply is not guaranteed. It is important that the reply is directly focused on the content of the commentary and makes an important difference to the interpretation of the commentary. The same expectations regarding format, length, citation, and transparency noted above for commentaries apply to replies. The title of a reply must begin with the phrase “Reply to [title of Commentary]”.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoedukv7uvfieg5edl6jvg6r/bafkreif2ea44otqhnmhser324h3rkh3unmwk5u2nkkfgfak3yaeitqzjoi)
