The Journal of the Association of Public Analysts (JAPA) was published in printed format from 1963 to 1997 as ISSN 0004-5780. For a number of reasons publication was suspended after Volume 33, 1997.

Now that desktop publications packages have become readily accessible re-launching the Journal in electronic format and making it freely available over the internet has become possible.

The first paper in the new format was published in January 2006. For continuity the numbering system for the online format started at Volume 34. The links below go to a summary page from where the full text of the paper may be obtained in pdf format.
