In consideration of our goals and target audience, we welcome current or accomplished empirical contributions that test and advance the principles of integral human development in charity and truth. Scholars from a broad range of disciplines such as economics, finance, management, law, medicine, technology, communication, public administration are invited to share their research
perspectives and findings. We particularly welcome case studies, broadly defined qualitative research, and statistical analyses.
