LUCKNOW : The
Department of Public Administration of the University of
Lucknow has upgraded its journal "Dynamics of Public
Administration" and it is now a bi-annual refreed
Journal. The journal has been allotted a ISBN number and
has also been put online, according to the Head,
Department of Public Administration, Dr Manoj Dixit.
"We now bring out both
online and print versions of the journal", he said.
The journal endeavours to
look into different dimensions of Public Administration
theory and practice and also issues related to
policy-making, interventions, evaluations, researches
and academics.
The Journal invites
interesting papers on different aspects of
administration and governance and the papers need not be
technical but should add to the existing body of
knowledge or present a different perspective, Dr Dixit
said.
Explaining the spirit of
the content he said that "readability and sustaining
reader’s interest is an important criterion."
Research based articles
are strongly encouraged but focus is on analysis and
recommendations cutting down on technical aspects.
Policy papers, best practices and case studies, creative
concepts and applications, book reviews, commentaries,
interviews and other thought provoking manuscripts form
the basis of the journal, he added.
Particularly welcome are
future oriented manuscripts that offer small businesses
and start-ups a vision of business in twenty first
century and practical road maps for getting there.
Manuscripts that address interdisciplinary topics or
approach “traditional” topics from interdisciplinary
perspective are preferred. "We encourage success stories
of policy implementation at a macro level as also best
practices and creative solutions at organizational
level", he added.
