I rarely ’surf’ the internet anymore. Instead, much of my time online is spent reading RSS feeds. My RSS feedreader has over 300 news sites and blogs. Last week someone mentioned Chris Blattman’s new article in the American Political Science Review. I had not seen the article, and then I realized why: I don’t have academic journals in my RSS reading list! I can keep tabs on hundreds of sites, yet important journal articles slip through my information net! This weekend I corrected the problem by adding 15 of the top international relations journals to my feedreader.
To help out fellow IR scholars, I present a list of RSS feeds for international relations journals, including:
- International Security
- American Political Science Review
- Journal of Politics
- Journal of Peace Research
- Journal of Conflict Resolution
- International Organization
- Conflict Management and Peace Science
- Annual Review of Political Science
- International Studies Quarterly
- American Journal of Political Science
- Foreign Affairs
- International Affairs
- Political Science Quarterly
- World Politics
- European Journal of International Relations
You can download the IR RSS Feed list here in an .opml file. To add to your RSS reader: 1) right click on link 2) select “save as”, 3) open your RSS feedreader, 4) click import, and 5) select the .opml file.
Edit: Dan Nexon pointed out that I forgot the European Journal of International Relations. I have now added it to the .opml.

I know it’s not a journal, but the Economist informs me on the private sector side of international relations. As a government employee I have to admit that there is often more intersting action (and more solutions to pressing problems) in the multinational business world, though the delineation between goverenment and business is not neat and tidy everywhere.
Give me a Foreign Affairs and an Economist and I feel 10 IQ pints smarter by the time I get to Singapore.
I’ve just started using this tool: page2rss.com to get feeds for working papers from individual’s websites. Seems to be working, but I’ll give it some time to test before I share…
This would be a wonderful tool. However, does this work with Google’s online Reader? I can’t seem to download it as a file, nor import it. Can anyone help?
Hi Zach,
Try right-clicking on the link to the .opml file and select “save as”. That will let you download it.
Good idea, this! I didn’t even consider that academic journals might have started publishing by RSS as well.
Thanks for the work, a useful service indeed!
Nice. But missing European Journal of International Relations.
Good catch Dan, I’ve added the European Journal of International Relations to the opml file.
It works with google reader. On your reader, click on manage subscriptions (in my reader it appears on the bootton of my subscriptions). Then, it will appear the option to import/export.
that’s it.
Awesome, thanks Chris!
