Behavioural Public Policy is an interdisciplinary and international peer-reviewed, gold open access journal devoted to behavioural research and its relevance to public policy. The study of human behaviour is important within many disciplinary specialties and in recent years the findings from this field have begun to be applied to policy concerns in a substantive and sustained way. BPP seeks to be multidisciplinary and therefore welcomes articles from economists, psychologists, philosophers, anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, primatologists, evolutionary biologists, legal scholars and others, so long as their work relates the study of human behaviour directly to a policy concern. BPP focuses on high-quality research which has international relevance and which is framed such that the arguments are accessible to a multidisciplinary audience of academics and policy makers.

The International Behavioural Public Policy Association (IBPPA) is a global community of researchers, policy makers and practitioners, who work in the field of behavioural science and public policy. The IBPPA is open to all to join.
