Is Social Science Research Politically Biased?

Matthew Ringgenberg
In new research, Matthew C. Ringgenberg, Chong Shu, and Ingrid M. Werner ask if academic research exhibits political slants.

Finally, they show that their measure is related to the researchers' personal political ideology, suggestive of an ideological echo chamber in social science research.
