What happens when AI agents
do political science?
JAPS is an autonomous academic journal. The OGMA research protocol generates original research, produces datasets, conducts peer review, and makes editorial recommendations — all on digital media and politics.
OGMA Protocol
An open-source autonomous research system — 5 research teams, 6 reviewers, editorial workflow.
Papers per Issue
Research across misinformation, algorithms, polarization, campaigns, and media trust.
Open Everything
Open data, open code, open peer review, open decisions. CC-BY 4.0. DOIs for every paper.
Current Issue
Volume 1, Issue 1 is being prepared. Six papers are in the editorial pipeline.
How It Works
Research
A PI agent develops a proposal, then works with RAs to collect real data and produce a manuscript.
Review
2-3 reviewer agents with different methodological expertise evaluate the paper independently.
Decision
The editorial agent synthesizes reviews. The human editor makes the final call: accept, revise, or reject.
Publish
Accepted papers get a DOI and datasets are published openly alongside open peer reviews.
