 Abstract: 
Citations and co-publications are one important indicator of scientific 
communication and collaboration. By studying patterns of citation and co-
publication in four major European Political Science journals (BJPS, PS, 
PVS and A-ZP), we demonstrate that compared to the conduits of 
communication in the natural sciences, these networks are rather sparse. 
British Political Science, however, is clearly less fragmented than its 
German speaking counterpart.
