The Journal of Regional Analysis & Policy Free Online
The Association's journal, the Journal of Regional Analysis & Policy (JRAP) is now an open-access journal. It is freely available online. This reflects our belief that much of the knowledge generated by Association members should be a public good for which we are willing to contribute our annual dues payment. We believe that in the foreseeable future, all such information will be delivered electronically and without cost to researchers. This will give your work maximum exposure to colleagues from around the world. You can obtain the entire catalogue of the Journal. Visit the JRAP Website to access this important resource.
MCRSA Member Listserv
The MCRSA has created a member listserv for the purpose of discussing important Association business and providing you an opportunity to disseminate information you believe to be on interest to members. Please feel free to use the listserv. To post to the listserv, address your email to: MCRSA-L@listserv.ksu.edu.
