Fifty Years of the Canadian Journal of Political Science/Revue canadienne de science politique: Past, Present and Future
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background The Canadian Journal of Political Science/Revue Canadienne de science politique (CJPS/RCSP) is a well-established international journal with a wide readership published by Cambridge University Press that serves the Canadian and international political science community. Analysis In addition to reviewing the journal’s current operations, this article reviews the main challenges faced in attempting to serve as a primary outlet for research on Canadian politics and government, as well as an omnibus journal of interest to an international audience. Additionally, operating as a fully bilingual journal and adapting to the new open access publishing model precipitated by changes to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council’s Aid to Scholarly Journals program each present their own challenges. Conclusion and implications This article concludes by reviewing options for addressing the open access challenge. Contexte La Revue Canadienne de science politique/Canadian Journal of Political Science(RCSP/CJPS)est une publication internationale bilingue bien établie. Publiée par les Presses de l’Université Cambridge,elle rejoint un large public en desservant les communautés canadienne et internationale de chercheurs s’intéressant à la science politique. Analyse En plus de passer en revue son fonctionnement actuel, l’article porte sur les défis que les éditeurs.trices ont dû relever depuis la publication du premier numéro. À titre d’exemple, la revue possède le double mandat de servir de débouché pour la recherche dans le champ de la politique canadienne tout en demeurant une revue omnibus s’adressant à un plus large public. À ceci s’ajoute les difficultés liées au fait de produire une revue bilingue. Enfin, plus récemment, la RCSP/CJPS a été placée devant le dilemme de se conformer ou non aux changements apportés au Programme d’aide aux revues savantesdu Conseil de recherche en sciences humaines du Canadavisant l’implantation du modèle du libre accès pour toutes les revues financées. Conclusion L’article conclut en explorant les solutions à emprunter pour faire face au défi du passage au libre accès aux publications savantes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
