CPA on-line and Google

IPAC’s prestigious peer-reviewed journal – Canadian Public Administration – is now fully on-line. That’s 50 years worth of content that is accessible on line!! And Google has recognized the significance of IPAC and CPA!!


That’s right – Google – that BIG search engine has recognized the value of our website. How you may ask. Well, just google “IPAC” and see what comes up. Our little institute is at the top of the page (there are other organizations that have the same acronym). In addition, there is a breakout of some of our features such as “Gabriel’s Blog” (this is not going to my head, really it isn’t!!), “Public Sector Magazine”, “CPA Journal”, and “CEPMA”. I am told that for that kind of detail to appear, someone at Google HQ had to put it in. And they only do that if they believe that there is a significant interest in the detail from the “googling” public.

As you also know, through our partnership with Wiley-Blackwell, our journal – Canadian Public Administration – is now fully on-line. All 50 years of articles can be found on line. It has been interesting going back in time to see what were the topics of interest 50, 40, and 30 years ago. IPAC members get full access to all 50 years and all future editions. If you are not a member (or even if you are)…go to Google Scholar and look up “Canadian Public Administration” and see what comes up! If you are a member and haven’t yet logged it to take a look at CPA on-line, I would urge you to do so – there is a wealth of information available – you can search by keyword for areas of interest. Enjoy!!
