Journal overview

Now included in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)

Human Resource Development International promotes all aspects of practice and research that explore issues of individual, group and organisational learning and performance. In adopting this perspective Human Resource Development International is committed to questioning the divide between practice and theory; between the practitioner and the academic; and between traditional and experimental methodological approaches.

Human Resource Development International is committed to a wide understanding of 'organisation' - one that extends through self-managed teams, voluntary work, or family businesses to global enterprises and bureaucracies. Human Resource Development International also commits itself to exploring the development of organisations and the life-long learning of people and their collectivity (organisation), their strategy and their policy, from all parts of the world. In this way Human Resource Development International will become a leading forum for debate and exploration of the interdisciplinary field of human resource development.

HRDI Perspectives
The Perspectives section is the non-peer reviewed section of HRDI. Publishing in the Perspectives section provides authors an avenue for communicating their novel research ideas, raising important issues related to HRD research and/or practice, and for starting theoretical debates. Perspectives articles could include:

  • Perspectives on Practice: High quality articles about advanced practice.
  • Perspectives on Research: Reports of research in progress and innovative development projects.
  • Debate: A position paper that takes a challenging stance on an issue relating to HRD.

We will also publish strong Perspective pieces based upon interviews with researchers or practitioners, provided that they offer a compelling insight into a specific HRD issue and have a strong international applicability.
