Publications

Please note that PSI no longer publishes new material of its own. Our remaining stock of print publications is handled by Central Books - please visit their website at www.centralbooks.co.uk in the first instance with any enquiry about availability of copies.

If you have a more general enquiry about PSI publications, including copyright permissions (see copyright statement below), please contact Vivienne Stiemens.

Many of our older publications (pre-1995), which are otherwise out of print, are available free of charge on our archived publications page subject to the terms and conditions below. If there are any specific publications that you would like to see on this site, then please email Robert Lyons.

PSI research output

PSI aims to make the final outputs of all projects publicly available. 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 This series has now been superseded by PSI Discussion Papers (new series), which expands the concept to include new thinking on policy as well as original research.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 published 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 published by Taylor & Francis.
