Abstract
Legislative committees have recently received inadequate attention in the available interjurisdictional literature. This article in the 2024 Policy Studies Yearbook, published by Politics & Policy, reviews legislative committee data categories, methods, and the distribution of authorship to explore how legislative committee research has fared between 2010 and 2023. This review article establishes that since 2010, research on committee structure has been dominated by U.S. congressional theories and how to test them in noncongressional settings. The dominant aspect of legislative organization across the five reviewed themes is the selection of committee members, an essential aspect of understanding power dynamics in modern legislatures. As survey methods and case studies have increased, the archival analysis methods have decreased, indicating an increasing turn to first-hand primary data in analyzing the internal organization of committees. There is also a growing trend toward greater collaboration among scholars.

最近，立法委员会在现有的跨辖区文献中没有得到足够的关注。政治与政策》（Politics & Policy）杂志出版的《2024 政策研究年鉴》中的这篇文章回顾了立法委员会的数据类别、研究方法和作者分布，探讨了 2010 年至 2023 年间立法委员会的研究情况。这篇评论文章指出，自 2010 年以来，有关委员会结构的研究主要集中在美国国会理论以及如何在非国会环境中检验这些理论。在所回顾的五个主题中，立法组织的主要方面是委员会成员的遴选，这是了解现代立法机构权力动态的一个重要方面。随着调查方法和案例研究的增加，档案分析方法有所减少，这表明在分析委员会内部组织时，越来越多地转向第一手原始数据。学者之间加强合作的趋势也日益明显。2016."选举规则与官僚效率》。Politics & Policy 44(6)：https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12184.Jones, Kate, and Kerry, Jacobs.2009."Public Accounts Committees, New Public Management, and Institutionalism：A Case Study."政治与政策》39（5）：1023-46. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1747-1346.2009.00209.x/abstract.Pelizzo, Riccardo and Abel Kinyondo.2014."东部和南部非洲的公共账户委员会：比较分析"。政治与政策》42（1），77-102。https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12062。
