It will contain 120 journals that are all new to JSTOR when completed.

Oxford research encyclopedia of politics

The University of Cambridge now has access to the Oxford research encyclopedia of politics via this link

https://ezp.lib.cam.ac.uk/login?url=https://oxfordre.com/politics

The title will be in iDiscover and is listed in the Databases A-Z.

William R. Thompson, Editor-in-Chief of the ORE in Politics, writes:

Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Politics facilitates connections, focuses on mechanisms, provides a sense of context and history, and helps identify research questions that can inform new research, whether in classic areas or emerging ones. Articles examine the evolution and/or structure of research programs and their dynamics, the questions, tensions, and puzzles that drive research, and the interaction between theory, method, and empirics. Because the focus is on the needs of researchers deepening their understanding of cognate areas, professors developing a reading list or preparing for a lecture, and students beginning research on their own, they will find the ORE of Politics as the reliable source of information and insight.
