Journal of Research Practice (JRP) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal with a transdisciplinary focus, published as an open access journal, i.e., full-text access is free to all readers. It uses Open Journal Systems to manage the online publication process. The journal seeks to:
- connect scientific research-inclined persons working in different disciplinary, institutional, and practical contexts and through this,
- extend the practice of research to progressively newer territories.
Both these aims are expected to facilitate the wider purposes of promoting research education around the world and innovative forms of research in different socially relevant areas.
JRP is published by the International Consortium for the Advancement of Academic Publication (ICAAP), a research and development organisation devoted to the advancement of open access publishing, located at Athabasca University, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Free access to JRP is made possible through institutional sponsorships and optional processing fees paid by authors. The editorial office is hosted at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar, India. The editorial team is fairly international in character, with persons from Australia, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, India, Israel, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, UK, and USA.
JRP is included in the following indexing services Directory of Open Access Journals, Open J-Gate, and Ulrich's Periodical Directory.
Famous quotes containing the words journal of, journal, research and/or practice:
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
“After the writer’s death, reading his journal is like receiving a long letter.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“A little instruction in the elements of chartography—a little practice in the use of the compass and the spirit level, a topographical map of the town common, an excursion with a road map—would have given me a fat round earth in place of my paper ghost.”
—Mary Antin (1881–1949)
