Aims & Scope
The Journal of Social Policy carries high quality articles on all aspects of social policy in an international context.
It places particular emphasis upon articles which seek to contribute to debates on the future direction of social policy, to present new empirical data, to advance theories, or to analyse issues in the making and implementation of social policies.
The Journal of Social Policy is part of the "Social Policy Package", which also includes Social Policy and Society and the Social Policy Digest.
An online resource, the Social Policy Digest, was launched in 2003.
The Digest provides a regularly up-dated, fully searchable, summary of policy developments and research findings across the whole range of social policy.
