Occasional Papers
Papers that set out proposals and invite structured comments from stakeholders.


A consultation paper sets out proposals or options on a question and invites structured comments from stakeholders before conclusions are drawn. It explains the background, lists the specific questions on which views are sought and states how and by when responses can be sent. Responses received may be summarised in a later B.A.P-I publication.

Sample layout
A specimen with the cover, publication details, structure and page layout, with guidance for authors in each section. It is a template only and does not report research.
Papers will be listed here as they are cleared by the editorial board. If you are working on a question that suits this form, send us a short proposal: a working title, a few lines on the argument and the evidence you will use.
