Journal of Political Behavior
by Decius at 9:23 am EST, Nov 14, 2010

I'm not sure how hiding academic research behind paywalls helps the progress of human knowledge. I might subscribe to this journal if it was available at a reasonable price. Its not clear to me how to get a price quote. I get the impression that if you are the sort of entity that Springer wants to sell a subscription to you don't really care what it costs because you are spending an endowment. Its $34 just to download an individual paper. $34. I know the scientists aren't getting that money. Where does it go?

There is no reason why this stuff can't be hosted for free on the web.

Political Behavior publishes original research in the general fields of political behavior, institutions, processes, and policies. Coverage focuses on conventional and unconventional political behavior of individuals or small groups, and of large organizations that participate in the political process such as parties, interest groups, political action committees, governmental agencies, and mass media.

As an interdisciplinary journal, Political Behavior integrates a variety of analytical approaches across different levels of theoretical abstraction and empirical domain. The exploration includes economic perspectives in preference structuring and bargaining; psychological aspects of attitude, motivations and perceptions; sociological orientation of roles, group or class; or political stance in decision making, coalitions and influence.
