Academic publisher Oxford University Press (OUP), a department of the University of Oxford, has announced that Oxford Journals will publish the journals - Research Evaluation and Science and Public Policy - from 2012.
Research Evaluation is an interdisciplinary journal covering the emerging methods, experiences and lessons for appraising and evaluating research. It covers public and private sectors, natural and life sciences as well as social sciences and humanities. The term 'evaluation' applies to all stages of research from priority setting and proposals, through the monitoring of on-going projects and programmes, to the use of results of research and the increasing trend of integrating evaluation into policy. Evaluations of research output and impact are particularly relevant given the emphasis today on accountability and documenting the value of research. Papers on methods for appraising and evaluating research are also welcome.
Science and Public Policy is an international journal on public policies for science, technology and innovation. It covers all types of science and technology in both developed and developing countries.
