Public Money & Management:
PMM is an independent review of policy, management and finance in the public services. Articles are reviewed by academics and practitioners to ensure quality and practical impact. PMM is owned and managed by CIPFA, which wishes it to be regarded as a neutral forum for debate and dissemination of knowledge. For subscription information, click here.
PMM has a multidisciplinary audience. It publishes articles which contribute new knowledge as a basis for policy or management improvements, or which reflect on evidence from public service management and finance. Readers include officials in all types of public service organizations; academics; consultants and advisers working with the public services; voluntary (third) sector organizations delivering public services; politicians; journalists; and students on both academic and professional courses. The editors welcome articles about developments outside the UK which offer clear lessons for British or other western practitioners.
PMM is published six times a year: in January, March, May, July, September and November. The journal is now in its 30th volume.
Articles for consideration by the editors should be sent to the Managing Editor: michaela.lavender@cipfa.org.uk

Policy-making
PMM is now using its publisher’s advance publication system for highly time-sensitive articles that will influence national or supra-national governmental policy-making. The system is called iFirst and articles are available to our institutional and online subscribers. Articles published on iFirst will appear in a later printed edition of PMM exactly as they appeared in the iFirst version.
