The total count of researchers × articles published in each journal since 2000. For example, if three researchers belonging to the same institution publish one co-authored article in APSR, it is counted as three publications (not one). The top, semi-top, and major journals are indicated in red, orange, and gray colors, respectively. PSJ score is 3*(top journals) + 2*(semi-top journals) + 1*(major journals). The table is sorted by PSJ score. PSJ scores are based on the current affiliation, not on the time of publication. The names of institutes are translated with Google Translate. Some translations may be inaccurate.

11 Sep 2025: The display order of the articles. Japanese names in the English page.

The display order of the articles was changed to the date added to PSJ. This allows users to check the latest papers. Researchers' Japanese names were added to English pages so that people can check mistranslations in GOOGLETRANSLATE.

2 Sep 2025: Revised codebook regarding DOI registration

This site uses the Crossref API to extract bibliographic information from DOIs. Therefore, the codebook has been modified so that PSJ adds entries upon the registration of an article in Crossref. When submissions are made before Crossref registration, the administrator will register them with PSJ after Crossref registration (however, this may take some time).

25 Aug 2025: Full English conversion of this page

The names of researchers and institutes originally in Japanese were converted to English using GOOGLETRANSLATE function in Google Sheets. While the English names of institutes are generally accurate, there are a fair number of mistranslations in the names of researchers. Please be careful when using the English names of researchers.
