Political Studies\u00bb for the period 2022\u20132025, driven by the need to identify dominant trends in contemporary political science and sociological discourse under conditions of digitalization and rapidly increasing volumes of textual data. The study addresses the questions of which topics and research approaches prevail in scholarly publications and how they are internally structured and interconnected. The research is based on a comprehensive methodological framework combining content analysis, factor analysis, and multidimensional scaling. At the initial stage, textual data were processed to extract key categories. Subsequently, factor analysis was applied to identify latent thematic clusters, while multidimensional scaling enabled visualization of their relationships and semantic proximity. The results reveal 15 major thematic areas, with a predominance of issues related to national security, international relations, historical memory, information technologies, and government intervention. The findings demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary research and a strong focus on global and regional challenges. The study showed that Polis reflects current trends in Russian political science and serves as a representative indicator of it, while contemporary discourse in political science is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach that integrates political, sociological, cultural, and technological research areas. The author interprets these results as evidence of an increasing emphasis on geopolitical and digital dimensions of social development. It is concluded that the journal serves as a representative indicator of current trends in Russian political science.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> content analysis; political science; factor analysis; multidimensional scaling; scientific discourse; thematic clusters; digitalization<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kravets Alexandr Vitalevich Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management, Novosibirsk, Russia E-mail: apt-words@mail.ru ORCID: https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4694-0973 RSCI: https:\/\/elibrary.ru\/author_profile.asp?id=355106 Abstract.
