Request for Feedback

The International Journal of HRD Practice, Policy & Research is a new journal. It is a new journal in a fairly crowded market place. Although a long time in gestation (see Morton and Stewart’s short paper in Issue 1) the collaborative efforts of the journal’s two ‘sponsors’, IFTDO and UFHRD, finally realised aspirations to create a journal which could focus more directly on promoting contributions from HRD professionals, wherever they are based, on their practice. As we said at its launch IJHRDPP&R is seeking to create synergies between practice and theory to offer today’s HRD professionals insight, ideas and understanding on the contemporary issues and challenges facing HRD. As was noted in the Editorial of Issue 1 the shaping of the Journal vis these aims and aspirations must be viewed as ‘work in progress’. But it is now opportune to pause for a moment and take on board feedback from readers and users of the journal.

We contemplated a survey type set of questions but in the end decided to leave it open. Remember the time when people used to send postcards when on holiday? Food great but weather awful! The local markets are amazing … biggest tomatoes I’ve ever seen! In other words, just tell us what you think. It might relate to the title, the content, the coverage, the format, the frequency, the delivery system (print and online – for the time being, anyway). Anything that you think might be useful moving forward. Two words, two lines, two pages – whatever.

On the basis that you do tell us something we will try and summarise this in the Journal’s HRD Forum in the next issue.
