  Members receive hardcopy and electronic subscriptions to AEA’s two journals, The American Journal of Evaluation (AJE) and New Directions for Evaluation (NDE), members also receive electronic access to both current and back content from Evaluation Review and Evaluation and the Health Professions right from their desktops.
