The Journal of Mediation & Applied Conflict Analysis (ISSN 2009-7107) is a bi-annual, online-only, open access journal covering all aspects of mediation, restorative practices and conflict intervention, as well as interdisciplinary topics where applied conflict analysis forms the central theme. The journal is intended as a free source of information aimed to assist those who are working toward a more collaborative world. The issues are integrated with the Maynooth University ePrints Archive providing an institutional repository which showcases the research output of Maynooth University postgraduate students. This open access ensures the widest possible dissemination and impact for our work in Maynooth and contributes to the growing body of research literature that is now freely available online.
