ENQUIRE - A (self-)reflexive journey

Abstract

This article explores the more obvious processes related to establishing a postgraduate journal and more basic, general questions about the research process, the academic community, being a researcher, and in particular the place of postgraduates in academia. These various aspects will demonstrate the relevance and opportunities the journal Electronic Nottingham Quarterly for Ideas, Research, and Evaluation (ENQUIRE) can provide, not only for postgraduates but also for the academic world in general. ENQUIRE hopes to serve as a base for more reflective, interactive and engaged social sciences, and we are convinced that postgraduate researchers can be highly influential in this process. © 2010 European Consortium for Political Research.
