IJTARP publishes high-quality papers TA theory, practice and research, as well as material which compares TA with other approaches or models where these have significant implications for TA theory or practice. We therefore welcome theoretical reviews, practitioner reports, exploration of specific TA concepts, quantitative and qualitative research methods, outcome-oriented and process-oriented research – if it is relevant to TA, then it may appear in IJTARP. We do, however, expect material to be written to adequate academic standards, and for the practice or research being described to have been conducted ethically and competently.
