According to Managing Editor David Pells, “Our mission is to support continuous learning and the creation and sharing of new knowledge about program and project management.  We are interested in articles and papers from anywhere in the world, with advise or knowledge that could be useful for managing projects in different conditions and environments.”

“The publishing process is easy,” he adds.  “Just email an article or paper to me; we reformat it to a standard layout and return it to the author for approval.  You won’t wait long for approval or to see your paper published.  We are especially looking for articles on how project management can or is being used to solve global problems.”
