We are pleased to introduce the new Editors in Chief of Evidence & Policy: Dr Mariah Kornbluh, University of Oregon, and Dr Dan Mallinson, Penn State Harrisburg.
A message from the Editors in Chief:
Evidence & Policy is a leading journal in disseminating how research can inform social policy and practice across global contexts and subject matters. We have had the privilege of serving as Associate Editors for the last two years. During this time, we have reviewed cutting edge articles across disciplines and geographic spaces that systematically and empirically document efforts to disseminate research beyond the confines of academic journal pages and into policy and practice with the aim of improving the lives of others.
We seek to continue the traditions of Evidence & Policy in maintaining its place as a top journal. We plan to operate this journal by key guiding values and aims: (1) transdisciplinary coverage of research use and evidence with implications for policy from diverse geographic contexts and communities; (2) a diversity in research approaches, epistemologies and methodological orientations; (3) a receptivity to scholarship and dissemination for both science and communities of practice, (4) a commitment to principles of open science and transparency, (5) engagement in policy process theory and theory building, as well as (6) critical inquiry into exploring dimensions of power surrounding how and for whom research is being produced.
We are honoured to have been selected as the new co-editors of Evidence & Policy and thank Dr Zachary Neal and the Management Board for their support of our vision.
About the Editors in Chief:
Mariah Kornbluh is an Associate Professor at the University of Oregon in the Psychology Department.

Her email is: mkornbl2@uoregon.edu
“Dr Zachary Neal has been a true leader in making Evidence & Policy a reputable outlet for research on the use of research evidence and instilling open science practices furthering the opportunity for research to be apparent and accessible. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue the practices he has set in place, and look forward to encouraging articles that showcase examples, methodologies and best practices in efforts to democratising the use of research evidence.”
– Dr Mariah Kornbluh, Editor in Chief, Evidence & Policy
Daniel J. Mallinson is an Associate Professor of Public Policy and Administration at Penn State Harrisburg. His scholarship examines the policymaking process, particularly through the lenses of policy diffusion and punctuated equilibrium theories and in the areas of cannabis, health and energy/environment. His email is: djm466@psu.edu
“I am grateful to take on the role of Co-Editor-in-Chief with Mariah. I am particularly excited to bring policy theory into the aims of the journal in a way that will hopefully be mutually beneficial for the refinement of policy process theories and the practice of evidence-based policymaking. I am also grateful to Dr Zachary Neal for his leadership and mentorship during my time as an Associate Editor.”
