Journal of Development Effectiveness aims to support evidence-based policy making to enhance development effectiveness. It will do this by publishing high quality papers reporting evidence of the impact of projects, programs and policies in developing countries. Review papers covering a number of studies are particularly encouraged. The Journal does not subscribe to any one approach to impact evaluation, but requires that the techniques employed be rigorously applied, with a preference for studies which have been well contextualized with an appropriate use of mixed methods. The Journal will also publish papers of a more conceptual nature related to impact evaluation, as well as papers covering practical aspects of conducting impact studies. Journal of Development Effectiveness has an explicit policy of ‘learning from our mistakes', discouraging publication bias in favour of positive results – papers reporting interventions with no, or a negative, impact are welcome. A listing of new impact studies will be included in each issue.

The Journal of Mixed Methods Research (JMMR) is an innovative, quarterly, international publication that focuses on empirical, methodological, and theoretical articles about mixed methods research across the social, behavioral, health, and human sciences. Supported by the premier researchers and practitioners in mixed methods research, including such luminaries as John Creswell, Abbas Tashakkori, Alan Bryman, Michael Fetters, Donna Mertens, David Morgan, Michael Patton, and Charles Teddlie (to name a few), each issue explores •Original mixed methods research that fits the definition of mixed methods research; explicitly integrates the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the study; adds to the literature on mixed methods research; and makes a contribution to a substantive area in the scholar’s field of inquiry. And •Methodological/theoretical topics that advance knowledge about mixed methods research, such as: ◦Type of research/evaluation questions ◦Types of designs ◦Sampling and/or measurement procedures ◦Approaches to data analysis ◦Validity ◦Software applications ◦Paradigm stance ◦Writing structures ◦The value and use of mixed methods research Not only does JMMR offer original mixed methods research and methodological/theoretical discussions, it also includes insightful reflections by the distinguished editors on important issues in mixed methods research and extensive book and software reviews with practical applications. The Journal of Mixed Methods Research's scope includes •Explore terminology and nomenclature used in mixed methods research •Providing a forum for discussion of parameters effecting mixed methods research •Creating the paradigmatic and philosophical foundations for mixed methods research •Illuminating design and procedure issues •Determining the logistics of conducting mixed methods research

"New Directions for Evaluation (NDE) is an ongoing series of paperback source books that "..presents the latest techniques and procedures for conducting useful evaluation studies of all types of programs" (Jossey-Bass Ordering Information notes). It is one of several "New Direction" series in the applied social sciences that are "…designed for a multidisciplinary academic and professional audience of administrators, faculty leaders, scholars and professional practitioners who need practical yet research-based information…". NDE has a circulation that varies between about 5000-6000 per year, depending on how many single issue sales occur." AEA Members receive this journal 4 times per year in hardcopy and have access to all historical content online as part of membership

The major aims of Performance Evaluation are to: (1) collect and disseminate information relative to performance aspects, and in particular to the topics described below; (2) promote interdisciplinary flow of technical information among researchers and professionals; and (3) serve as a publication medium for various special interest groups in the performance community at large. Topics are drawn from, but are not restricted to, the following areas: • Performance studies of computers, computer communications, telecommunications and distributed systems • Resource allocation and control methods and algorithms (e.g. routing and flow control in networks, bandwidth allocation, processor scheduling, memory management) • System reliability • Modeling and analysis methods (e.g. queueing and scheduling theory, simulation methods, data analysis) • Measurement techniques (e.g. software and hardware monitors) and workload characterization • System architecture, design and implementation discussed from a performance viewpoint • Performance evaluation applications (e.g. system tuning, procurement, capacity planning) • Case studies and model validations. Types of articles include: original work, tutorials and surveys, news items, articles and book abstracts and reviews, and short communications. Editor-in-Chief: Contact the Editor P. Nain

Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation (PARE) is an on-line journal supported entirely by volunteer efforts. Its purpose is to provide access to refereed articles that can have a positive impact on assessment, research, evaluation, and teaching practice.

The Electronic Journal of Information Systems Evaluation (EJISE) provides critical perspectives on topics relevant to Information Systems Evaluation, with an emphasis on the organisational and management implications. The journal contributes to the development of both the theory and practice of all aspects of IT/IS evaluation This includes empirical research, case studies, action research, theoretical discussions, literature reviews and other work which advances learning in this field.
