     The Journal for Quality and Participation invites authors to
submit articles which will advance the knowledge and use of the
theories, concepts, and techniques of quality and participatory
processes. The Journal is interested in receiving articles of the
following types:

* Articles which profile how specific organizations, teams or
circles, and individuals have applied the theories, concepts and
techniques of quality and participation. Articles which focus on
one or more of the 12 knowledge, skills and abilities areas
outlined in the AQP's research report: _Voices_From_The_Field_ are
also of great interest.

* Articles which survey how several or many organizations, teams
or circles, and individuals have used the theory, concepts and 
techniques of quality and participation.

* Articles which demonstrate how to successfully use either new or
existing instruments to measure and evaluate both specific aspects
of quality and participation processes and the whole process of
quality and participation.

* Articles which propose and demonstrate how new approaches will
either advance current concepts, theory and techniques or will add
concepts, theory and techniques that will improve the field of
quality and participation.

     The best guide to topics of interest to our readers are past
issues of The Journal for Quality and Participation. One can be
obtained by calling the Editor at the Association for Quality and
Participation office (513-381-1959) (513-381-0070 fax). _Voices
_From_The_Field_ may be purchased from AQP Material Sales (same
phone and fax).
