Much of the research on PROL was presented, or will be presented, at professional conferences like the APSA Annual Meeting and meetings of other international, national, and regional political science organizations. Find out more about conferences in the profession.

Political Research Online (PROL) is a repository of papers delivered at professional conferences, and emerging political science scholarship.  PROL  accepts pre-print scholarship and research for review and comment.  It is also a repository for political science papers increasingly available through center and institute web servers and not readily identifiable generally in the field.
