Publications
Please note that PSI no longer publishes new material of its own. The remaining stock of PSI publications is handled by Central Books - please visit their website at www.centralbooks.co.uk in the first instance with any enquiry.
If you have a more general query about PSI publications, please contact Vivienne Stiemens.
The publication and dissemination of our research is an integral part of PSI's activity, and we undertake research only on the understanding that the results will be made public - however uncomfortable the findings may be to any established interests.
We publish reports of our own primary research or the research results are published by the sponsor and publicised on our website. We also publish selected material from 'outside' authors and other research institutes and academic institutes, provided the research matches our own interests and is fully peer-reviewed.
From 2000 until 2007, we published Research Discussion Papers - short, topical reports on work in progress and single-issue analyses of PSI's current research projects. This series has now been superseded by PSI Discussion Papers (new series), which expands the concept to include new thinking on policy as well as original research.
In the past, we launched Policy Studies, a quarterly, peer-reviewed multi-disciplinary academic journal, and the highly-regarded Cultural Trends, a quarterly statistical journal on the arts and wider cultural sector.
These are now produced by Taylor & Francis.
We are proud of the fact that we put all of our research work into the public domain. Our books are now distributed by Central Books and all enquiries should be directed to them in the first instance. To ensure that as much of our work as possible is available, we make many of our older publications (pre-1995), which would otherwise have become out of print available for free from this web site. If there are any specific publications that are not available in bound form and that you would like to see on this site, then please email Robert Lyons.
