CIPR republishes 'Research, Measurement and Evaluation in Public Relations and Communication Management' with updated credits

CIPR statement from Chief Executive, Alastair McCapra

Yesterday, we published our first Professional Practice Review entitled 'Research, Measurement and Evaluation in Public Relations and Communication Management'. Unfortunately, the published version of this document did not correctly credit the respective roles of the different contributors who produced the work. 

Today, following a discussion with all three contributors, we are republishing it with updated credits to Dr Heather Yaxley as Editor and Dr Jon White and Andrew Bruce Smith as key contributors.

When we publish content as valuable as this document, it is important for us to ensure that proper credit is given to the members and other contributors who make our work possible. Yesterday we failed to do this properly and we are glad to be able to put it right.

I am very sorry that this has caused embarrassment to our contributors and that our error marred what should have been a positive launch for the publication.

I’d like to thank Heather, Jon and Andrew for helping us to resolve the matter swiftly.  

Alastair McCapra, Chief Executive
