This is a very exciting new issue, now available to online subscribers (including those at universities with online subscriptions); hard copy issues will be arriving shortly. It features a symposium on the state of public management research, and an important article by Professors Morton Jakobsen and Rasmus Jensen of Aarhus University in Denmark on common method bias in public management research. We also announce a new much stricter IPMJ policy involving papers where common method bias may be an issue.
