ART - Journal of Public Procurement Under the FAU-NIGP Partnership 2001

The document provides information about the framework of contract management and the launch of the Journal of Public Procurement (JoPP) under the FAU-NIGP partnership. The document states that the text-writing project will produce fourteen books that will be used for NIGP training courses and academic courses offered by the School of Public Administration of Florida Atlantic University. The list of books includes core texts on topics such as public procurement, law and ethics, planning, sourcing, and contract management, as well as advanced texts on leadership, capital purchase, construction services, and alternative dispute resolution. The document also provides details about the Journal of Public Procurement (JoPP), which aims to further the understanding of public procurement by exploring theories and practices in the field. JoPP is the first refereed journal covering the broad scope of public procurement and publishes articles from various academic disciplines. It covers procurement at different government levels in the United States, Canada, and other nations, as well as not-for-profit entities' procurement practices. The audience for JoPP includes procurement officials, vendors, researchers, and the general public. The publication plan states that JoPP will initially be published twice a year and then four times a year once there is strong research and education interest in the field. It is mentioned that JoPP articles do not reflect the formal view of NIGP, although the journal is sponsored by NIGP.
