Aims & Scope

Professions and Professionalism (P&P) is an open-access, net-based, peer-reviewed and English-language journal. The Journal invites research-based empirical, theoretical or synoptic articles focusing on traditional professions as well as other knowledge-based occupational groups. The journal is interdisciplinary, with its centre of gravity in the social sciences and humanities. While articles may focus on one profession in a specific social context, authors are encouraged to point out the wider relevance of their contributions to the study of professions and professionalism.
