Policy Press has published the first edition of Voluntary Sector Review, a peer-reviewed journal covering voluntary, community and third sector research, policy and practice.

It is published in association with the Voluntary Sector Studies Network (VSSN), whose members will receive a print copy as a membership benefit.

The journal will cover “the full range of issues relevant to voluntary sector studies”, including financial and human resources, philanthropy, volunteering and employment, social enterprise, evaluation, regulation and charity law, management, civic engagement, and theoretical debates. It will feature papers from a variety of disciplines including sociology, social policy, politics, psychology, economics, business studies, social anthropology, philosophy and ethics.

Edited by Peter Halfpenny at the University of Manchester, its publishers describe Voluntary Sector Review as “an indispensable tool for everyone who values empirically-grounded, theoretically-informed and policy-relevant reviews of the future direction of the voluntary sector”.

Its Assistant Editors are Pete Alcock, University of, and Cathy Pharaoh, Cass Business School, City University, London.

Voluntary Sector Review is available online free of charge to institutions in 2010. It is also available free of charge online to UK voluntary sector organisations during 2010, or for £140 for print and online versions.
