Testimonials

Testimonial for IJCCSM
“In the present era the effects of climate change on human health and welfare are really tragic. There are two critical issues to address which are strategy development and technology management. IJCCSM is uniquely placed to cover these issues providing a special platform for researchers, scientists and policy makers. It publishes high-quality papers in the area“.
– Ibrahim Dincer, Chairman, Global Conference Series on Global Warming

Testimonial for IJPSM
“Choosing at random a recent edition of IJPSM (2009:22/6) reveals its strengths. Its claim to being genuinely international in its scope is revealed by articles on the UK, Sweden, India, Colombia, and Australia and New Zealand. Its topicality is similarly endorsed as this edition includes articles on management and leadership development, performance management, codes of ethics, and e-government. The journal’s variety includes articles that embrace research papers, conceptual papers and general reviews. The journal has appeal to researchers, to students and to practitioners, demonstrating both rigour and relevance. I use the journal for both my own research and for teaching purposes, particularly with my own postgraduate students who come to us from all corners of the globe. I am happy to endorse IJPSM as I believe it makes a welcome contribution to the field of public services management.”
– Professor Alan Lawton, Professor in Public Sector Management, Business School, University of Hull, UK

Testimonial for TGPPP
“Transforming government: People, process and policy (TG:PPP) is one of the few high quality scholarly journals that focuses explicitly on transforming public sector through the use of information technology. Thus, the journal is a great forum for researchers and student to get an overview of the key research topics and topics of relevance to practice within the fields of eGovernment and eGovernance. The editorial objective of promoting both multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary research makes TG:PPP an outlet that allows researchers from different disciplines to provide complimentary perspectives on common challenges which is really what this research field needs to move forward. In the University of Agder, where we have a strong research focus on eGovernment issues, TG:PPP is considered as a very useful resource."
– Leif Skiftenes Flak, Associate Professor, University of Adger, Norway
Testimonial for PIJPSM
PIJPSM is a valuable resource for police and police scholars worldwide. Drawing on a variety of disciplines, its articles offer insights on a wide range of issues pertaining to police policy, practice, and organization. It is an essential part of the library of police managers and researchers.
– Stephen Mastrofski, University Professor, Department of Administration of Justice, George Mason University

Launch of the International Journal of Emergency Services (IJES)

Emerald is pleased to announce the launch of the International Journal of Emergency Services (IJES) in 2012 with two issues a year. IJES provides a vehicle for the development of scholarship in the management of all emergency services – e.g. Fire and Rescue; Police; Ambulance, Coastguard.

The journal welcomes articles dealing with the theory and practice of strategic and operational management in these areas, or with the related professional and policy aspects. IJES takes a very broad view of what constitutes “management”. In keeping with the journal’s intended international scope, articles drawing comparisons between two or more jurisdictions and those offering theoretical cross-jurisdictional perspectives will be particularly welcome.

In view of the nature of the services the journal attracts interest from the social sciences disciplines particularly psychology, economists, sociologists, youth studies, criminologists, public health and political scientists, as well as from scholars interested in the management of these services. The journal also anticipates publishing papers utilizing social scientific theories, conceptual frameworks and analytical tools; aimed at academics as well as practitioners.

An interface section will be specifically designed to foster interaction between the practitioner and academic communities to encourage critical engagement with new ideas and practice. Future editions of the interface may for example, consist of a series of articles based around a contemporary or topical theme.

More information will be available soon. In the meantime, for further information, please contact the publisher of the journal, Valerie Robillard, or the Co-Editors, Vivienne Brunsden, Principal Lecturer in Psychology and Leader of the Emergency Services Research Unit, at Nottingham Trent University, UK; and Dr Paresh Wankhade, Lecturer in Organizational Behaviour at Liverpool Hope University, UK.

IJES will be part of the Emerald Industry and Public Sector subject collection.
