評(píng)價(jià)和規(guī)劃的原則是，評(píng)價(jià)和規(guī)劃的技術(shù)和方法超越具體領(lǐng)域的界限，對(duì)這些領(lǐng)域的相關(guān)貢獻(xiàn)來(lái)自代表許多不同立場(chǎng)、知識(shí)傳統(tǒng)和興趣的人。為了進(jìn)一步發(fā)展評(píng)估和規(guī)劃，我們出版了來(lái)自私營(yíng)和公共部門的文章，涉及廣泛的領(lǐng)域:組織發(fā)展和行為、培訓(xùn)、規(guī)劃、人力資源開(kāi)發(fā)、衛(wèi)生和心理、社會(huì)服務(wù)、精神發(fā)育遲緩、矯正、藥物濫用和教育。該雜志的主要目標(biāo)是協(xié)助評(píng)價(jià)人員和規(guī)劃人員改進(jìn)其專業(yè)的實(shí)踐，發(fā)展他們的技能和改善他們的知識(shí)基礎(chǔ)。

Evaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behavior, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental, social services, mental retardation, corrections, substance abuse, and education. The primary goals of the journal are to assist evaluators and planners to improve the practice of their professions, to develop their skills and to improve their knowledge base.
