Evaluative Practice

We are excited to announce that we are changing the name of our Members’, in-house journal from ‘The Evaluator’ to ‘Evaluative Practice’. The change is effective with our next edition, which will be published in November 2023.

This change signals a shift in emphasis to widen the potential appeal of the publication to include areas of practice which have an evaluative dimension, but where practitioners may not ‘self-identify’ as an evaluator. It will continue to include a wide range of contributions from the evaluative world and embody aspects of practice that are essentially evaluative in nature. It will have contributions which theorise practice, give creative examples of innovative approaches and evaluation use, connect evaluation with policy and include provocative ‘think pieces’.

Our next edition will feature some contributions from our Conference on 2nd-4th October, 2023.

We warmly invite you to submit material across all areas of interest in the evaluative domain, at any time. These may include, think pieces, your experience of an aspect of evaluative practice, of a particular method, or your examples of particular approaches.

Articles should be maximum 1,500 – 2,000 words. Title, author’s name and capacity (eg independent evaluator, institutional role etc) should be clearly marked.

We aim to produce several editions of ‘Evaluative Practice’ a year. For further information, please contact:
