11 Representation, the Trust's Quarterly Journal A background note prepared by /Ma the lead-trustee for the journal, concerning comments in letter dated 6 February 2009 from Jeremy Yung, Charity Commission Representation is established as a serious academic journal with full editorial independence. The scope of the journal enables it to publish learned contributions on issues of relevance to the subject of 'political representation' in the widest sense. This remit quite properly includes articles on the subject of electoral systems, including STV, but it runs far wider as will be quickly apparent from study of the contents pages. Moreover, articles on electoral systems are by no means all pro-stv the journal (as opposed to the most certainly does not have an official policy of favouring or opposing any particular kind of electoral system. To be clear about this, it may well include from time to time articles which argue for STV, or the implications of which are pro-stv, but such papers will have to be based on convincing academic analysis. Equally, however, academic articles whose implications are NOT pro-stv are also published. The journal has been edited by teams of academics for over 10 years now, including The latter two are or were McDougall Trustees during the period of their editorships, but at all times adopted a policy of strict academic independence, and never felt remotely constrained to publish opinion pieces proselytising for STV. Moreover, two major changes that further distanced the day-to-day operation of the journal from the direct control of the Trust have been implemented in recent years. First, in 2006, the production, publication, marketing and distribution of the journal passed from the Trust to the reputable academic publisher Second, in 2007 the editorial control of Representation passed into the hands of and neither of whom have any connections with the or Trust. Representation has, since the time of its re-launch in the 1990s, operated a system of double-blind academic peer-review. That is, submissions are sent to independent experts in the field for an evaluation of their academic strengths and weaknesses. The identities of the authors are not revealed to the independent reviewers and the identities of the reviewers are not revealed to the authors. The reviewers' evaluations are highly influential with the editors when it comes to deciding whether to accept or reject submissions, or request revisions of the authors. Representation has never sought to make public policy recommendations. This does not mean that it has never published an article which might have implications for public policy, but the journal policy is not to proselytise for any kind of public policy changes; it is simply a matter of readers drawing policy implications, if they wish to do so. February 2009
12 The Editorial Board The Editor shall recommend members of the editorial board and submit these to the Trust for appointment. Members of the editorial board shall be selected because of their knowledge of election studies/systems, representation theory, methodology and practice, expertise in research and publication. The editorial board will also reflect a diversity of institutions and functional experience and the demographic and geographic breadth of the profession. - The Trustee Board member nominated to liaise with the Editor shall be an ex officio member of the editorial board. The editorial board shall meet if it is practical and economic to bring together its members at least annually to review the journal and its performance. Disputes procedure In the event of a dispute between the Editor and the Trust, this will first be discussed by the Editor and the Trustee Board liaison member. If it is not resolved at this stage, the Chairman of the Trustee Board will seek to resolve the dispute with the Editor. If it is not resolved at this stage, the Editor may approach in writing or in person the Trustee Board to seek to resolve the dispute. The Trustee Board's decision is final. Publication arrangements - Present contract with ammi runs until 31 December Notice of termination required one year prior to expiration, that is 31 December Trustee Board to discuss renewal/termination at its meetings closest to July and October January 2008
13 Representation, the Trust's Quarterly Journal A note prepared by Trust chair since October 2008, concerning comment in letter dated 6 February 2009 from Jeremy Yung, Charity Commission In Section 5 of his letter dated 6 February 2009, Jeremy Yung stated that "In the copies of Representations (sic) available to me approximately a third of the articles are STV related." the trustee who met Mr Yung in December, has supplied me with a list of the six issues taken by him. These include volume 43:3 (September 2007), in which two articles taking a first look at the introduction of STV into Scottish local government elections comprised 23% of the page length; and volume 44:4 (November 2008), which was a special issue (so effectively 100%) on the consequences of this change. A simple calculation shows that approximately one fifth of the content of these issues related to this one topic. On Mr Yung's calculation, only one eighth of the total content of these issues was otherwise related to STV., As the most significant change in British electoral arrangements during the first decade of the 21st century, it is hardly surprising that the editors had decided to pay particular attention to this question. The special issue of November 2008 happened to be the first issue after I took over as chair. I knew nothing of its content until it was already published. I have established that the initiative for this special issue came from an academic specialist in Scottish elections at the University of Lancaster who is a member of the editorial board of Representation. The Trust board had no part in this decision, and indeed no knowledge of its having been taken. However, having myself been a leading specialist in British (including Scottish) local elections in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, I am personally delighted that appropriate coverage and analysis of the change in electoral system for Scottish local elections has been published. It is a service to academic research. To provide a more comprehensive and objective picture of articles appearing in Representation, I have personally examined all issues published during This analysis shows:- Year/Vol % of pages devoted to articles/reviews about... Specific elections with STV STV as a system Non-STV related 2003/V39 5% (Rep of Ireland) nil 95% 2004/V40 4% (Northern Ireland) nil 96% 2005/V41 nil 8% (2 articles) 92% 2006/V42 4% (Scottish preview) nil, 96% 2007/V43 6% (Scottish locals) nil 94% Although I had no responsibility on behalf of the Trust during this period, I am fully satisfied that there is nothing in this pattern which is in any way inappropriate for a charitable trust, an educational body or a research institute concerned with objective study of elections and electoral systems.
