Risk, Decision and Policy

Established in 1994, Risk, Decision and Policy is an interdisciplinary journal with an emphasis on decision and risk research. The journal considers applications of descriptive, prescriptive and normative decision research in a wide variety of areas. These could range from political concerns (such as voting issues, and collective choice problems) to peace and security, to long-term sustainability, to issues of interest to the private sector, such as R & D. The central core is an emphasis on decision research as a means to useful insight for practical issues, drawing on theory and applications. The journal will be particularly valuable to social scientists and economists whose work might also be of relevance to policy-makers in international and national organisations, especially in the health and environment areas. As well as technical and occasional survey articles, the journal carries regular symposia edited by Guest Editors which cover a variety of topics including AIDS, BSE, Imprecise Probabilities and Risk Communication.
