Journal Descriptions
Evaluation: The International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal established in 1995 to advance the understanding and application of evaluation as a discipline and a professional practice. It serves as a key platform for original research that bridges theoretical perspectives, methodological innovation, and practical evaluation work across a broad range of domains including public policy, governance, education, health, social services, technology assessment, and organizational change. By welcoming interdisciplinary contributions, the journal fosters dialogue among scholars and practitioners from sociology, political science, psychology, economics, anthropology, and information science, among other fields. Its scope includes conceptual analyses of evaluative thinking, comparative studies of evaluation traditions, methodological developments in qualitative and quantitative evaluation, and empirical studies that connect evaluative research with real-world contexts and decision-making. Evaluation also publishes special issues that delve into emerging topics and debates in the field, book reviews, essays, and community commentary that reflect evolving professional practices and theoretical reflections. As a quarterly publication with international participation, it holds a respected position in the global evaluation community, contributing to discourse around how evaluation can inform policy, improve programs, and enhance understanding of complex social phenomena.
