Journal of Chinese Political Science (JCPS) is one of the top journals of both Political Science and Area Studies categories.

 

JCPS is a refereed academic journal that publishes theoretical, policy, and empirical research articles on Chinese politics across the whole spectrum of political science, with emphasis on Chinese domestic politics and foreign policy in comparative perspectives. However, JCPS also welcomes manuscripts on different aspects of contemporary China when these relate closely to Chinese politics, political economy, political culture, reform and opening, development, the military, law and legal system, foreign relations, and other important issues of political significance.

JCPS’ impact factor is now 4.6, went up slightly since last year. JCPS also remains Q1 in both Political Science categories (11/317) and Area Studies 2/176. It is one of the top journals for both categories which is exceptional.
