The American Political Science Association and a consortium of scholarly organizations have developed Political Research Online (PROL), a new resource for political scientists. Made possible through generous funding by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, PROL is a comprehensive electronic archive of pre-published research in political science. PROL consists of four major components:
Conference Papers
Conference papers are the cornerstone of PROL and represent the greatest volume of pre-published scholarship in political science. Through PROL, APSA provides support for other associations to place their conference papers online.
Preprints
PROL provides an outlet for individual scholarly papers for comment or dissemination at early, pre-published stages.
Syllabi
PROL provides an outlet for scholars to share successful course syllabi. Syllabi are grouped by field and are searchable.
Center and Institute Reports
PROL incorporates and links political science research conducted through centers and institutes and presented on their web servers. Often this work is accessible only through outlets that are currently unknown to most political scientists and those seeking political science research. PROL thus bridges multi-disciplinary and subfield divides.
How to Use PROL
The PROL search engine is open to all members of the scholarly community. Before searching, users log in using their email address. Email addresses of individual members of APSA or of the PROL consortium are recognized. If a user's email address is not recognized, the user is asked to complete a brief registration form. Users may then search the database across title, author, subject, and full text. Users may choose to search all papers or look only at one particular meeting. A full citation and, when available, an abstract is provided for each paper along with a link to the PDF copy.
Submitting a Paper or Syllabus to PROL
Members of the political science community are encouraged to post papers on PROL. Individuals presenting a paper at the conference of a PROL-participating organization will receive instructions on posting their paper directly from that organization. Individuals participating in other conferences—from a state association meeting to a small political theory gathering—may upload their papers at anytime through the “submit a paper” icon. Users will be asked to provide details about the conference that allows for a complete citation and then will be able to upload their abstract and paper.
An individual scholar wishing to upload a working draft of early research may also post to the site. This paper will be identified as a working paper to scholars searching the database by a special icon. The author should note on the submission form whether the paper may or may not be cited and provide an email address to which comments may be directed.
Why to Use PROL
- check PROL for early scholarship in areas you are working in
- locate scholars with interests in specific areas
- finding promising new discoveries
- gain feedback on your early work

The PROL Consortium
PROL represents a partnership between APSA and over a dozen scholarly organizations. The consortium continuously seeks out new partners. The following organizations represent those who display work on PROL or are participating in its organization and development:
- American Society for Public Administration
- International Political Science Association
- International Studies Association
- Midwest Political Science Association
- National Conference of Black Political Scientists
- New England Political Science Association
- Northeastern Political Science Association
- Political Studies Association (UK)
- Southwestern Political Science Association
- Southern Political Science Association
- Western Political Science Association
For more details on becoming a member of the PROL consortium please contact Sean Twombly at twombly@apsanet.org.
