The Evaluator
The Evaluator is the magazine of the UK Evaluation Society. It has feature articles on recent research, on evaluation theory, methods and practice.
It is produced primarily for UKES members, informing them about evaluation activities around the country, of developments in practice and giving them a place to discuss issues of common interest. The Evaluator is edited by an editorial board which has ultimate control over the content of the magazine and as such the views in the Evaluator do not necessarily represent the views of the UKES.
The Evaluator also includes announcements of forthcoming publications and book reviews. For example, in Spring 2008 edition we gave details of a new co-edited volume of papers on accountability. We are glad to receive details of relevant publications, and suggestions for, and offers to carry out, book reviews.
