Survey folks, what are people’s recent experiences with online panels in terms of:
1. Panel quality (bots/LLMs)?
2. Representativeness?
3. Cost + time to complete?
Planning a 700–800 US nat-rep pilot.
Best practices welcome!

Updating my own teaching using the excellent "Statistical Rethinking" resources from @rmcelreath.bsky.social , but am wondering if someone has already done some work adapting it to a political science / psychology context? Any pointers are welcome.

What is the hive mind view of the Frontiers (e.g frontiers in political science) journals ? I have seen some controversy about them being predatory, but also have seen colleagues publish interesting papers in them.

Does anyone have recommmendation for papers in "mainstream" political science that problematize this polarization framing?
So much of the absurdity in how some elites talk about Charlie Kirk—or navigate the authoritarian politics of this regime—stems from political science’s and the elite class’s fixation on polarization, and the misguided belief that it’s inherently bad and that the “remedy” is civil submission.

Großartiges Daten-Projekt meines früheren Kollegen Eric Beltermann, das man jetzt ohne Paywall komplett aufrufen kann. Der Inhalt ist bekannt, die Darstellung verdeutlicht das systematische Vorgehen der AfD gegen die parlamentarische Demokratie, was in der Gesamtheit vielfach unterschätzt wurde.
