Welcome to IRPJ

 AIM AND SCOPE

The Intergovernmental Research and Policy Journal (IRPJ) is a unique interdisciplinary peer-reviewed and open access journal published by an academic intergovernmental institution (EUCLID) with other intergovernmental organizations in mind.

Its aim is to disseminate research that may have policy implications for intergovernmental bodies, which are specifically listed as “tags” in the header of each article.

IRPJ authors can be assured that their research will be widely visible on account of the trusted Internet visibility of its “.int” domain which virtually guarantees first page results on matching keywords (.int domains are only assigned by IANA to treaty-based organizations and are recognized as trusted authorities by search engines).

In addition to its “.int” domain, IRPJ is published under an approved ISSN for intergovernmental organizations (“international publisher”) status (used by United Nations, World Bank, European Space Agency, etc.)
