Piping ggplot2 objects into plotly
While working on a Shiny app to analyse data on political participation, I wanted to use the pipe operator (|>), to pass a ggplot2 object directly into ggplotly() from the plotly package. This resulted in an error and took longer than expected to resolve, which prompted this blog post explaining the issue and its solution. The pipe operator passes the output of the left-hand side expression as the first argument to the function on the right-hand side.Review articles in political science journals
Review articles remain an important part of academic publishing, offering overviews of the current state of knowledge, synthesising research trends, or critically engaging with key debates. Political science journals feature a variety of article types that fall under this broad category, including state-of-the-field reviews, literature surveys, and review essays. These formats provide scholars with an opportunity to summarise key developments, highlight gaps in the literature, and propose directions for future research.Latest publications
