03 December 2009For the past thirteen years the Journal of Economic and Social Policy (JESP) has produced a biannual hard copy publication.  From the 8th of December 2009, JESP will appear online as well as in limited edition hard copy.  The new system provides several advantages including a simplified submission process for authors, easier contact with editors, the ability to track an article's progress through the system, and the provision of statistical information on published articles.  The new electronic system will also enhance the speed of the double blind peer review process.  This increased efficiency is intended to result in a publication which provides timely and up-to-date articles on economic and social policy.  JESP also publishes articles which discuss past policy intentions and outcomes that serve to inform current and future policy debate.  The site also carries the past thirteen years publications.  The Journal of Economic and Social Policy can be viewed at  http://epubs.scu.edu.au/jesp/.
