Did not A. Filindra do something similar and manage to get the UIC AP search canceled? She was the chair of the committee. https://jobs.uic.edu/job-board/job-details?jobID=100519
A public university does not cancel a search unless there is something serious.
Corrupt APSA Journal Editors(A. Filindra)?

How about all you two-bit anonymous message board posters edit all the journals, do all the peer reviewing, and all the other charity work.
Of course, none of you are in political science, none of you submit to journals or conferences. I've never seen anything that remotely looks like what people say on this site anywhere but here.

In what world is ssrn considered publishing? If you are actually an aspiring political scientist, you should probably speak to your advisor and get this info sorted out.
Why is it confusing? You can't publish the same paper twice as the first then as the third author. Everyone knows the difference. It is not a different rendition; it is the same paper. The online version was posted online when the second version is under "blind review" in the journal she edits. A. Filindra should blame no one but herself for trying to promote herself at any cost.

A journal editor cannot post "her" paper on a public platform as a first author and publish it as a (Blind) peer-reviewed article under her student's name in her journal. There are so many things wrong with such decisions, processes, etc. It is funny and ridiculous that we need to discuss it here.

I do not know the people involved, but I can see why there are so many questions. They are very well justified. The JREP editor, A. Filindra
why did you post/publish an article on SSRN as the first author if it is your student's article?
Why did you publish the same article in your journal under your student name if it is your paper?
Why did you publish the article on a public platform if the article was under blind peer-review?
Why do you claim that the article went through a blind-peer review if you are the editor of the journal and the article was publicly available verbatim with the same title?
More importantly, how do you handle peer review processes in JREP? Why should APSA members and others trust your professional judgment if you think none of the above is a big deal. -
Whoever keeps posting this is giving AF a lot of free publicity.
No one who is a real political scientist would look down on her for this.
They might know who she is now, and that she edits a journal.
I think this random $hit-posting is good for her reputation.
So thanks for giving her a career boost, PSR.

If I may channel Freud here, this thread, unlike others, has many reasonable questions and points. I am not sure why someone would use the word "we" on a thread where all posts are anonymous, express different views and take so "thread" so personally unless she is the very person who prompted that thread. I agree that anything posted online (SSRN etc.), available for citation and listed on CV, can be seen as a publication but not a peer-reviewed one. One can understand why one would post the first draft of a paper on SSRN but posting a completed article under review by an editor of a journal does not any sense. Plain and simple. None of this would be an issue if Filindra did not publish the same paper in her journal, JREP. If someone is throwing tantrums here and asking the thread to end because it is too much, it rather strange. If you are not interested in the topic, don't read. If you read and get annoyed then the real question is: how much truth can you stand?

Raise as many questions as you want about potentially corrupt practices. I think that is great. I'm just telling you that focusing on this ssrn thing is not helping your case.

"anything posted online (SSRN etc.), available for citation and listed on CV, can be seen as a publication"
