About the Journal
The aims of the Journal of Economic Geography are to redefine and reinvigorate the intersection between economics and geography, and to provide a world-class journal in the field. The journal is steered by a distinguished team of Editors and an Editorial Board, drawn equally from the two disciplines. It publishes original academic research and discussion of the highest scholarly standard in the field of 'economic geography' broadly defined. Submitted papers are refereed, and are evaluated on the basis of their creativity, quality of scholarship, and contribution to advancing understanding of the geographic nature of economic systems and global economic change.
Oxford Journals is pleased to announce that for the third consecutive year JOEG has ranked as one of the most-cited journals in the field. The 2006 ISI Social Science Citation Index has ranked JOEG as the 4th ranked journal in the Geography category and 8th from 175 journals in Economics. These results confirm our belief that no institution teaching courses in these areas should be without a subscription to this exciting new multidisciplinary journal.
