Date sent: 19 October 2009 +++ New Journal Announcement and Call for Papers Voluntary Sector Review An international journal of third sector research, policy and practice ISSNs 2040-8056 (Print) 2040-8064 (Online) The Policy Press, in association with the Voluntary Sector Studies Network (VSSN), is delighted to announce the launch of an important new journal Voluntary Sector Review in 2010. There will be three issues in the first year (March, July and November) and institutions will be able to trial the journal free of charge Aims and scope Voluntary Sector Review will publish high- quality, peer-reviewed, accessible papers on third sector research, policy and practice. The journal will cover the full range of issues relevant to voluntary sector studies, including: definitional and theoretical debates; management and organisational development; financial and human resources; philanthropy; volunteering and employment; regulation and charity law; service delivery; civic engagement; industry and sub-sector dimensions; relations with other sectors; social enterprise; evaluation and impact. Voluntary Sector Review will cover voluntary sector studies from a variety of disciplines, including sociology, social policy, politics, psychology, economics, business studies, social anthropology, philosophy and ethics. The journal will include work from the UK, Europe and beyond where cross-national comparisons are illuminating. Rigorous and stimulating, Voluntary Sector Review will be an indispensable tool for everyone who values empirically-grounded, theoretically-informed and policy-relevant reviews of the future direction of the voluntary sector. Call for papers Submissions are now invited for the following sections of the journal: - Academic articles (7-8000 words). These may cover research and analysis of any part of the voluntary sector - or the third sector and civil society more generally. Articles may include scholarly inquiry, research findings and applied analysis of relevance to practitioners and decision-makers - Practice papers (1500-2000 words). Short contributions from practitioners commenting on governance, management, fundraising or operational issues, including case-studies or examples of change and development within their own organisations, lessons learned, and wider practice implications. - Policy reviews (1500-2000 words). Short commentaries on recent changes or new initiatives within the UK policy environment or within other comparable national or regional policy contexts, including new policy ideas emanating from think tanks and voluntary sector agencies as well as formal proposals from government. Articles may include critical reviews of existing policies, discussion of new policy initiatives, or the identification of areas where new research is needed to inform policy-making. In all three sections, contributions are welcome from the UK and also from Europe and beyond, especially if they include cross- national comparisons that bear on the UK experience. All submissions will be subject to normal peer review processes. The Editorial Team aim to provide quick decisions and to ensure that submission to publication takes no more than twelve months.
