FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nearly 60 years of Human Relations digitized by SAGE Publications
London UK, October 25 2005 -- As part of a major project, SAGE
Publications is delighted to announce that it has digitized the last 59
years of Human Relations, making such ground-breaking articles as
Festinger's "A Theory of Social Comparison Processes" from 1954,
available online for the first time.
As a result SAGE is able to offer access to all Human Relations content
dating back to 1948 on SAGE Journals Online (at http://hum.sagepub.com)
for no additional cost to an institutional subscription in 2006.
It provides any member of a subscribing institution a wealth of content
to dip into at the click of a mouse. Researchers at non-subscribing
institutes will be able to view all abstracts and tables of content free
of charge online.
"I am delighted that Human Relations' first research papers are now
available to academics and researchers worldwide" said Fiona Barratt,
Commissioning Editor at SAGE. "This significant investment from SAGE is
a mark of our commitment to the dissemination of scientific knowledge,
and marks the journal's forthcoming 60th anniversary and contribution to
leading research in the field."
Published in association with the Tavistock Institute, Human Relations
is one of the most prestigious and longest running academic journals in
the management community. For over half a century it has stimulated
advances in research and practice, pioneering publication of
multidisciplinary and action research.
We are very pleased to announce that as of January 2006, Human Relations
will be edited by Stephen Deery, Professor of HRM at King's College
London.
The Tavistock Institute has a remarkable history of developing
innovative techniques that anticipate and capture big changes in
society, that soon become the accepted norm. It is fitting then, that
the partnership of the Tavistock Institute and SAGE Publications has
seen the digitization of nearly 60 years worth of Human Relations
content for online use in the academic community.
