Article titles and summaries/abstracts (in original) of articles published in academically acknowledged European journals are translated into English and French. By using this database researchers can search for content in several fields: the article’s title, the name of the author, journal title, journal country language of the article, the abstract and the theme of the article.
Each journal is responsible for providing the information that is inserted in the database.
When a researcher has found a relevant article, he/she can read the abstract, contact the author or the journal editor or the journal website.

How does PA@BABEL work?

The content of the database is provided by the journals that are included in the network. They are asked to submit data once or twice a year. Article titles and summaries/abstracts are translated into English and French from the original language and uploaded in the database (http://www.pababel.eu/).
Interested researchers can then search for an abstract by entering the article’s title, the name of the author, journal title, journal country, language of the article, year of publication or keywords into the respective search fields.
Furthermore, theme related search is possible by looking for abstracts on Change Management, E-government, Ethics, Financial Management, HRM, Organization, Politics and Policy as well as Quality.

Call for Participation

Any academically acknowledged journal on Public Administration that is published in any of the European languages other than English is invited to join the project and to contribute to the database. If you are interested, or if you should like more information about the project, pleasedo not hesitate to contact us.
