About People, Place & Policy Online

This new journal provides a forum for debate between academics, policy-makers and practitioners thinking about major societal challenges and concerned with identifying problems and suggesting solutions.

PPP-Online publishes:

* research findings, including emerging findings from ongoing research
* methodological discussions and reflections on research and evaluative techniques and approaches
* policy reviews
* literature reviews
* opinion pieces, stimulating ongoing debate across issues

PPP-Online welcomes both empirically and theoretically informed discussion from different viewpoints about: the problems facing contemporary society; how they are perceived and presented by policy makers; the appropriateness and effectiveness of the policy and practice response; the practical and political realities of policy orientated research; perspectives on different methods and methodologies; and the conflicts and challenges encountered by the researcher and the researched.
