Human Resource Development Review
Human Resource Development Review ("HRDR") is an international quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal whose main goal is to promote theory and theory building in human resource development (HRD) and related fields.

Bosie from the University of Texas at Tyler, and Julia Slater as SAGE publishing editor. The current impact factor for "HRDR", as of 2020, is 2.765.
