03:18 - By Pekka Kettunen - Journal Watch
Berkeley Electronic Press is pleased to announce the addition of a new peer-reviewed journal, Nonprofit Policy Forum, to our collection.
The mission of Nonprofit Policy Forum is to serve as an international journal that publishes original research and analysis on public policy issues and the public policy process critical to the work of nonprofit organizations. NPF provides a forum and an authoritative and accessible source of information for scholars, leaders, and policy-makers worldwide. A primary goal of NPF is to provide nonprofit leaders and policy-makers with readily accessible and relevant scholarly research.
In addition to being an accessible source of information, NPF creates a publishing venue for the expanding population of nonprofit-public policy scholars. Because the field of nonprofit studies is interdisciplinary in nature, the range of disciplines for both authors and readers spans a wide array of interests.

Dennis R. Young About this journal
Nonprofit Policy Forum (NPF) provides academics, policy-makers, and nonprofit leaders access to the information they require in a form relevant to their scholarly, professional, and organizational needs. NPF responds to the direct concerns of nonprofit policy-makers and policy advocates. Through the thinking, experience, and the advice of its editorial and policy board members, NPF (1) identifies and frames nonprofit policy issues in a concise and responsive way, (2) provides essential information to public and private organizations, and (3) is particularly pertinent to the fast growing nonprofit sector. No other public policy or nonprofit-related journal focuses on the nexus of public policy and the nonprofit sector. Nonprofit Policy Forum is an international journal that seeks to contribute to the development of the field of nonprofit related policy research, more clearly define the role of the sector in the policy and advocacy process, and build a stronger research base on public policy and nonprofit organizations. Our goal is to develop a critical mass of research that examines the role of nonprofits in shaping public policy and the impact of public policies on the nonprofit sector.
