Journal Guide

The Journal of Asian Public Policy was launched in 2008. This exciting new journal focuses on one of the most vibrant regions of the contemporary world. Both China and India are now recognized to be critical players in the global economy, with economic profiles that grow on an annual basis. East Asian economies that started to develop somewhat earlier, following the Japanese lead, remain among the most important economies in the world. The emergent regions of South and Southeast Asia have many dynamic economic sectors. Public policy, governance and development issues are drawing increasing attention not only from academia but also from the wider business, professional and policy communities. Development and policy issues will be defined broadly. Comparative analysis and current policy debates will be particularly stressed. Asia will also be defined broadly to encompass an area bounded by Mongolia in the north, Indonesia in the south, Korea in the east, and Afghanistan in the west. Articles that do not have an explicit Asian focus will be considered only if they have clear relevance to an Asian readership.

The Journal of Housing for the Elderly aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community. The journal's goal is the rapid publication of new research in the housing and aging fields as well as the synthesis of cross-disciplinary efforts made to enhance the residences of the elderly. This journal is useful for scholars, policymakers, legislators, architects and urban planners, lending institutions, religious groups, developers, and the lay public in general who have an interest in the subject-personal, professional, or civic. The journal covers the latest efforts of housing researchers and policy experts-from research on energy conservation or privacy needs to policy implications of home equity conversion. It also examines management issues, housing related service delivery innovations, case histories of successful housing alternatives, and financing strategies.The journal covers such areas as: identification of salient housing issues that primarily involve the elderly case studies of successful practitioner experiences regarding the development of better housing facilities for the elderly refinement of existing methodologies and/or the development of new ones for evaluating the behavioral, programmatic, & adaptational consequences of differential residential environments translation of research data into more usable informational modes for researchers & practitioners articulation of the issues & problems in the development & implementation of housing policies for the elderly Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by two anonymous referees.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
