Promoting your article
We encourage authors to actively promote their articles globally to their colleagues and fellow researchers. Cambridge University Press provides a suite of resources to help you engage with your readership, increase your visibility and make your article more discoverable online.
Sharing your article
Cambridge University Press supports responsible social sharing of published research. This journal participates in Cambridge Core Share, a tool that enables readers to easily generate links to online, read-only journal articles that can be freely shared on social media sites and scholarly collaboration networks.
Please also check the details of your publishing agreement and our Green Open Access policy for details of how you may share the full text of your article.
Impact of individual articles
Cambridge Core displays Altmetric Attention Scores to help authors and readers see how much attention an article is getting online. These are displayed alongside the article's title in the journal's table of contents. Please see our guide to Altmetric for more information.

Post-Publication Commentary
The Editors are introducing a new commenting format to accompany articles published online. Comments may be submitted in the format of e-letters by logging on to Cambridge Core with your APSA credentials. These comments will be lightly moderated for tone and must be signed with the author's name.
Comments may be of any length, though we expect that most will be fairly short, e.g., several paragraphs or several pages. Authors who have more extensive critical points to make should consider sending a submission to the Journal under the Replications and Reappraisals track.
We encourage external reviewers of the published manuscript to contribute their thoughts, especially if they feel their concerns about a paper were not properly addressed in the published version. (We are exploring with Cambridge University Press the option of allowing reviewers to submit their review anonymously, though this has not yet been approved.) The author(s) of the original publication may of course weigh in at any time, though they need not feel obliged.
Comments must be germane and must be more than expressions of sentiment. For example, one might discuss a potential flaw in an argument, further support for that argument, and so forth. This is a digital water cooler, so anything is fair game as long as it is fair-minded. We trust that discussion will be civil.
We hope that the Comments section will extend the intellectual life of an article and provide a focal point for scholarly exchange. We also hope that online exchanges will serve a networking purpose, allowing scholars located around the world to connect with one another.
