    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.
