Journal Title：British Politics

British Politics offers the only forum explicitly designed to promote research in British political studies, and seeks to provide a counterweight to the growing fragmentation of this field during recent years. To this end, the journal aims to promote a more holistic understanding of British politics by encouraging a closer integration between theoretical and empirical research, between historical and contemporary analyses, and by fostering a conception of British politics as a broad and multi-disciplinary field of study. This incorporates a range of sub-fields, including psephology, policy analysis, regional studies, comparative politics, institutional analysis, political theory, political economy, historical analysis, cultural studies and social policy.While recognising the validity and the importance of research into specific aspects of British politics, the journal takes it to be a guiding principle that such research is more useful, and indeed meaningful, if it is related to the field of British politics in a broader and fuller sense.The scope of the journal will therefore be broad, incorporating a range of research papers and review articles from all theoretical perspectives, and on all aspects of British politics, including policy developments, institutional change and political behaviour. Priority will, however, be given to contributions which link contemporary developments in British politics to theoretical and/or historical analyses. The aim is as much to encourage the development of empirical research that is theoretically rigorous and informed, as it is to encourage the empirical application of theoretical work (or at least to encourage theorists to explicitly signify how their work could be applied in an empirical manner).

《英國政治》是專門為促進英國政治研究而設計的唯一論壇，旨在平衡近年來該領域日益分散的局面。為此，該期刊旨在通過鼓勵理論研究與實證研究、歷史分析與當代分析之間的更緊密結合，以及通過培養將英國政治視為一個廣泛的多學科研究領域的概念，促進對英國政治的更全面的了解。該期刊涵蓋一系列子領域，包括選舉學、政策分析、區域研究、比較政治學、制度分析、政治理論、政治經濟學、歷史分析、文化研究和社會政策。該期刊承認研究英國政治具體方面的有效性和重要性，但其指導原則是，如果研究與更廣泛、更全面的英國政治領域相關，則該研究更有用，也更有意義。因此，該期刊的范圍將很廣泛，涵蓋從所有理論角度和英國政治各個方面（包括政策發展、制度變革和政治行為）的一系列研究論文和評論文章。但是，將優先考慮將英國政治的當代發展與理論和/或歷史分析聯系起來的投稿。其目的既是鼓勵發展理論上嚴謹、有見地的實證研究，也是鼓勵理論工作的實證應用（或至少鼓勵理論家明確表明他們的工作如何以實證方式應用）。

British Politics創刊于2006年，由Springer Nature出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋POLITICAL SCIENCE全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數1.1，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
