Editorial Policy

Published four times a year, JoPP is a refereed journal. It concentrates on the development of theories and concepts, and the dissemination of practical innovations and developments so that the field's boundaries can be established. The cognate areas constituting the focus of this publication are disciplines which concern how to enhance equity, efficiency and transparency in government procurement.

Practitioners and scholars are encouraged to submit manuscripts to the journal. Papers--whether empirical, field study, conceptual development, or practical innovation or experience--should help to serve the need for more active communication and greater exchange of thought, research and practical experiences among scholars and practitioners throughout the world. Appropriate topics for papers include purchasing technology, purchasing building construction services, purchasing public works projects, purchasing energy in a deregulated environment, purchasing and its role in strategic planning, total cost of ownership, electronic commerce, buying vs. leasing, bench-marking, procurement cards, automated procurement systems, and other innovative ideas and practices in government procurement.

Priority will be given to papers having carefully developed methods, insightful conceptual development, and practical and analytical solutions to public procurement problems. Interdisciplinary approaches are welcome.
