Editorial Mission: The Journal publishes peer-reviewed academic and community-based research, commentary and policy articles that address issues related to the Great Plains. We also publish invited articles from leading researchers. Research in a broad range of areas--art to zoology, engineering to modern languages, community development to geography--are appropriate. The only criteria we require is that the information offered is related to the Great Plains. This region--undergoing major change and its accompanying social, economic and infrastructure stress--needs new ideas that flow from research and discussion. OJRRP offers a unique subject-driven platform for this research, while generating conversations through its book reviews and blogs.
