During the DVPW Convention in Göttingen, all participants were able to vote for the political science research blog of the year 2024. In a first online round, four blogs made it to the second round: Politik & Ökonomie, Theorieblog, Über Politik aus der Wissenschaft and the DVPW-Blog.

The Theorieblog, the forum for political theory, history of ideas and political philosophy, won the election again after 2021. With only four votes less, “Über Politik aus der Wissenschaft” from the Working Group for Empirical Political Science at the University of Duisburg-Essen took second place. We congratulate both on this success!

As at the last DVPW Convention in 2021, you can again vote for which political science blog should be chosen as “Blog of the Year“.

This time, the voting process has two stages:

1. Until 17.9.2024 you can vote online (https://www.pollux-fid.de/blog24) which political science research blog is the best for you. The five blogs with the most votes will advance to the next round.
2. At the convention you will receive a voting card, which you can use to vote for your favorite blog until Thursday, 3 pm at the Pollux Lounge.

The winner will be announced on Thursday evening. 

Research infrastructure funding in Germany, like research funding in general, is strongly oriented towards projects and dependent on third-party funding. On the one hand, this constellation offers potential, for example for technical innovations to adapt to the digital transformation. On the other hand, this basic situation also entails problems, particularly with regard to the sustainable operation of research infrastructure facilities and the major challenges of open science. This article examines this constellation using the example of the DFG-funded specialized information service (FID) Political Science – Pollux and asks what role researchers can play in the further development of the research infrastructure.

We are looking for two student assistants (SHK) as soon as possible. You can expect a wide range of tasks in our friendly team with flexible organizational options. The contract term is initially planned until September 30, 2025.

The first vacancy is aimed at students of political science. Another vacancy is aimed at students of computer science.

from Paula Lein

Qualitative political science research data is generally sensitive and is often based on a close relationship of trust between researchers and research participants. For example, participation in research projects in authoritarian regimes and the resulting personal research data are associated with particular risks for the research subjects. At the same time, however, this research data is rich, unique and often generated in research fields that are difficult to access. For this reason, long-term archiving that also enables subsequent scientific use should be considered on a regular basis - even if a large proportion of the material cannot be made fully accessible to the public for legal and/or ethical reasons. In order to protect research participants, high standards for archiving this research data and special protective procedures are therefore necessary. If researchers want to make their sensitive data available for scientific re-use, they need an appropriate archiving environment, which Qualiservice provides as part of the Specialized Information Service (FID) Political Science - Pollux.

You can find the whole article in the DVPW-Blog (German only)

We offer a 15-minute virtual tour of Pollux on Thursday, November 9 and Tuesday, November 14, 2023, both at 1 pm. Afterwards there will be time for questions.

This is the title of our new blog post, in which we outline why researchers should consider Mastodon as an alternative to other social media platforms.

Click here to go directly to the blog post (German only).

Discussion on the question of where to go "after Twitter/X" is possible on both Mastodon and Twitter/X.

We are very interested in feedback from the scientific community!

We are pleased to be to be an official supporter at the international congress "Political Theory in Times of Uncertainty" hosted at the University of Bremen (September 27-29, 2023). Together with our partner Qualiservice (data service center for qualitative social science research data) we will inform about our services at an information booth (in the Atlantic Hotel Universum).

The congress is organized under the umbrella of the Section for Political Theory and the History of Ideas of the German Political Science Association (GPSA).

We have our own section in the DVPW blog. There we regularly report on new services and developments from the FID Political Science.

The first post was published today. It is all about entries from political science research blogs, since recently more than 350 research blogs in German and English language can be found via the Pollux literature search.

Fig. Example search with filter options

Pollux now covers all important forms of scientific publication (cf. Stykow) and our users can thus research well-founded articles on current political or political science topics. The advantage of speed, however, can also be a disadvantage, since blog publications are generally subject to less careful (or no) review processes. Overall, however, research blogs are becoming increasingly important in science communication.

The blog selection will be continuously updated and modified. Suggestions for further political science blogs in German and English can be submitted via https://www.pollux-fid.de/contact or by mail to kontakt@pollux-fid.de.

We would like to thank the DVPW for the great cooperation and the opportunity to inform political science researchers about topics in the fields of literature research, open access, research data management, and science communication via their blog.

From now on, registered political scientists (PLUS account) have free access to the political monitoring and analysis service Polit-X directly via Pollux. Polit-X contains millions of current and historical political documents and other entries at federal, state and European level and offers powerful digital policy analysis tools.

Using Polit-X via Pollux is simple. Users with a political scientists account need only log in to Pollux and can then access Polit-X with a simple click. Popular functions such as alerts on new documents, monitoring of the processes in the Bundestag and Bundesrat, the parliamentarian monitor or the other advanced analysis tools are easy and quick to set up with an appropriate account.

About Polit-X:

Polit-X has been pioneering innovation and development of digital monitoring of political and public life since 2006. With its smart data approach, Polit-X is an expert tool for data-driven evaluations of political developments. In extensive databases, millions of political documents from the federal, state and EU levels are available in a daily updated and bundled form.

With analysis and alert functions, it is also possible to quickly and easily evaluate the activities of the members of the Bundestag and all state parliaments as well as the members of the EU Parliament. For this purpose, Polit-X is constantly expanding its range of services and also uses the latest technologies, such as machine learning and AI.

Dates for Webinars:

Polit-X offers exclusively for Pollux PLUS users three webinars for the introduction to the tool (30 minutes live presentation, afterwards Q&A):

• Kurze Einführung in Polit-X (deutsch): Thursday, May 4th, 1pm
• Short introduction to Polit-X (english): Tuesday, May 9th, 1pm
• Kurze Einführung in Polit-X (deutsch): Wednesday, June 21st, 1pm

To participate, simply register for a webinar at the links above.

As of now, political science researchers at universities and non-commercial research institutions can register at polsci.social - the mastodon server for political science. This is the response of the Specialised Information Service for political science to the interest of political science researchers in providing an open channel for scholarly communication.

Once again we are the main sponsor of the transcript Open Library Political Science for the year 2023. Until the end of November, libraries and institutions can still participate in the OA funding of all new publications in the political science program.

About the Open Library Political Science:

The transcript Open Library Political Science is a model that enables the Open Access publication of all new publications in the program area of political science by a consortium. In four successful rounds to date, 65 institutions from Germany, Austria and Switzerland have already committed themselves to the Open Access transformation. Thanks to the open library communities, more than 200 book publications are freely accessible to the entire scientific community: 87 new publications through the community and 170 backlist publications as a free bonus service from the publisher.

In our latest video "Pollux for students" we briefly show the most important functions of the Pollux literature search. This is free of charge for all who are interested.

We are working on an english version.

We are happy!

After two successful funding phases (2016ff), the DFG has fully approved our proposal. Thus, the Specialised Information Service Political Science will be funded for another three years with a sum of 1.79 million EUR.

In the next funding phase (2022-2025), the research data center Qualiservice will join the SuUB and GESIS as a third project partner.

The projects of the third funding phase include in particular:

• Extension of the literature search in Pollux (so far 8 million documents) to include references from neighboring disciplines
• Improving the visibility and searchability of text corpora and research blogs
• Strengthening public relations
• Expansion of open access services
• Research data management of qualitative research data

The official press release can be found here: https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/university/university-communication-and-marketing/all-news/details/politikwissenschaftlicher-fachinformationsdienst-wird-weiter-gefoerdert

The specialised information service for Political Science - POLLUX - offers political scientists and students references of printed political science literature. Furthermore, POLLUX provides direct access to electronic publications. We would like to show in this short film, what POLLUX exactly is and how it works.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA2A7be7QgE

A big thank you to everyone who took part in our online survey! It was completed on 28.6.2020 with 279 participants.

We are now starting the evaluation and are curious about the results, which we will publish later.

POLLUX was created for the political science community and we need your input. Community feedback is the best way for us to know what is missing, what needs improvement and which areas are good. We prepared a short survey (10-15 minutes) to better understand the needs of the community and what our strengths and weaknesses are.

The survey is available till 28.06.2020. No personal data will be collected. The POLLUX team appreciates your support.

Click here for the survey: https://www.pollux-fid.de/surveys/pollux-general-survey

You can filter your search results by electronic media. Printed media will not be displayed with this filter.

We have enormously expanded POLLUX in the segment of book publications, integrating the contents of neighbouring disciplines (e.g. economics, public law, contemporary history, sociology etc.). In this way we take into account the inter- or transdisciplinary working methods of the political science community. As a basis for the extension, we have filtered all relevant titles from many metadata sources. The extension is now being carried out step by step for journal publications, contributions to collective works and Open Access publications. Our aim is to provide you with preferably all the literature you need for your research.

In POLLUX you will no longer find only titles that you can either access directly electronically or that can be ordered via the delivery service Subito. Titles that are available in Germany and that you can order via the interlibrary loan service of your home library are now also displayed. If interlibrary loan is not available, you can contact the owning library directly.

Corona note: Please note that due to the Corona pandemic many libraries have been closed and the interlibrary loan service is therefore suspended at some libraries.

We are very pleased to welcome the following new members to our Scientific Advisory Board:

We are pleased to welcome

• Dr. Martin Beckstein (Politische Philosophie, Universität Zürich)
• Prof. Dr. Paula Diehl (Politische Theorie, Universität Kiel)
• Dr. Frederike Kelle (Global Governance, WZB Berlin)
• Natalie Tröller, M.A. (Internationale Beziehungen, Universität Trier)
• Dr. Dieter Wolf (Geschäftsführer SOCIUM Bremen).

A warm welcome to all of you and thank you for supporting POLLUX.

The journal "Totalitarismus und Demokratieforschung" from HAIT is now published with financial support from POLLUX by Vandenhoek and Ruprecht Open Access! To ensure free access for all readers in the long term, it is important that existing subscriptions are continued ("subscribe to open" model)

The licenses for e-book packages of the following publishers will expire soon and cannot be renewed due to lack of financial resources:

Babara Budrich, Berghahn Books, Campus, De Gruyter, Duncker & Humblot, Metropolis, Nomos, Pluto Press, SAGE, Verso Books, World Scientific, Zed Books

The e-books of these publishers are nevertheless still included in POLLUX. Occasionally delays may occur due to embargos.

The next advanced training course of the Association of German Librarians (VDB) for subject specialists of the social sciences will take place in Cologne on 22-23 April 2020.

The main focus will be on: the Specialised Information Services (FID) political science and sociology, new trends in sociological research and the handling of social science data.

You will find the complete programme under https://eveeno.com/vdb-fachref-soz (german only).

Registration is possible up to 27 March 2020.

The training is organized by the FID Sociology (https://www.sociohub-fid.de ) in cooperation with the FID Political Science (https://www.pollux-fid.de).

As of now, authors have a quick and easy possibility to make an article listed in POLLUX available as a secondary publication (Open Access). We collaborate with the Social Science Open Access Repository (SSOAR) - a full-text server maintained by GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, which increases the long-term visibility of your publication on the web in the best possible way.

POLLUX supports the Open Access transformation of the Palgrave-Macmillan series "Global Dynamics of Social Policy" of CRC 1342.

The following three volumes will be published in 2020:

• Carina Schmitt (Ed.): From Colonialism to International Aid. External Actors and Social Protection in the Global South
• Lutz Leisering (Ed.): A Hundred Years of Social Security in Middle-Income Countries
• Kerstin Martens, Dennis Niemann & Alexandra Kaasch (eds.): International Organizations in Global Social Policy

Good news for the new year: The transcript Open Library for Political Science can also be realized in 2020. This means that the transcript Frontlist political science 2020 will be available via Open Access. It's great to see that besides POLLUX so many libraries participate in the financing and thus make an important contribution to the OA-transformation.

From now on registered political scientists can order new books free of charge directly from POLLUX. We continuously select new political science publications from numerous relevant publishers. All new releases are included in the POLLUX search and recognizable by the Loan (via POLLUX) button. POLLUX covers the acquisition costs.

Bei jeder Recherche in POLLUX werden jetzt die lokalen Buchbestände angezeigt, die an den jeweiligen Forschungsstandorten vorhanden sind. Das bedeutet, ist ein gedruckter Buchtitel an Ihrer wissenschaftlichen Bibliothek vorhanden, so werden Sie im Rechercheprozess darauf hingewiesen. POLLUX erhöht dadurch die Sichtbarkeit lokaler Bibliotheksbestände.

Mit Hilfe des Gemeinsamen Verbünde Index (GVI) werden hierzu die Bestände von über 150 wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken und deren Verfügbarkeitsinformationen ausgewertet. Der GVI ist ein deutschlandweiter Suchindex der sechs deutschen Verbundsysteme sowie der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek (DNB) und der Zeitschriftendatenbank (ZDB).

In POLLUX können Sie jetzt Ihre Recherche sehr präzise gestalten. Durch die erweiterten Suchfunktionalitäten sind die in POLLUX verfügbaren Dokumentenfelder im Suchfeld gezielt anwählbar. Auch die Alerts lassen sich damit sehr genau definieren.

Suchbeispiele für eine erweiterte Suche

Die Nutzung lässt sich am besten anhand folgender Beispielsuchen demonstrieren, dabei ist es wichtig, dass keine Leerzeichen zwischen Feldbezeichner und Anfragebegriff vorhanden sind:

• Alle Inhalte, die das Wort "governance" im Titel enthalten und ab dem Jahr 2000 erschienen sind: title:"governance" AND year:[2000 TO *]
• Alle Inhalte mit der Phrase "Global affairs" in der Zeitschrift "Global Governance" mit der ISSN-Nummer 1075-2846: issn:"1075-2846" AND "Global affairs"
• Rechts-Trunkierung mit Stern beim Suchbegriff "frieden" findet neben Frieden z.b. auch Friedensbewegung, Friedenserziehung, Friedensforschung: frieden*

Mehr Informationen und weitere Beispiele hierzu finden Sie in der Hilfe.

Im Rahmen des 27. DVPW-Kongresses in Frankfurt stellt POLLUX mit den Alerts passgenaue Neuerscheinungslisten zur Verfügung. POLLUX informiert jetzt automatisiert über neue Inhalte. Durch den Alerting-Dienst werden neue Nachweise an Literatur und Forschungsdaten zum individuellen Forschungsgegenstand angezeigt.
