AAEA’s New Journal: Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy
AAEA is re-launching the Review of Agricultural Economics (RAE) under a new journal name, Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy (AEPP). The change will become effective with the first issue of 2010. Interested authors can now submit manuscripts for consideration for AEPP by visiting the online submission site.
The aim of AEPP is to reframe the breadth of available technical economic literature to inform future economic research and broader audiences by presenting high quality agricultural and applied economic research in a way that is generally accessible. In each issue of the journal, at least two Featured Articles will focus on selected themes of interest, alongside which will be published Submitted Articles. Featured Articles will synthesize and integrate existing research relating to a theme, while Submitted Articles will present original research results with an emphasis on drawing out future research and policy implications.
Submitted Articles
Articles containing original research results will also be published in AEPP. The editors encourage submission of articles that address real-world problems with research approaches and/or have strong policy relevance within the subject matter of the journal. Submitted Articles will meet the normal standards for scholarly publication, but should also be accessible to the broader audience of agricultural and applied economists working outside academia. Submitted Articles should emphasize one or more of the following: A) practical implications for public policy; B) clarification of research implications so as to maximize accessibility and cross-fertilization across specific areas of research; C) empirical comparison of competing theories, explanations, and approaches that can refine future research; and D) development of fruitful directions for future research.
Information on how to submit manuscripts for Submitted Articles can be found on the Submitted Articles Instructions page.
Featured Articles
Featured Articles will be commissioned, though proposals of potential topics are encouraged. If you are interested in proposing a topic for a Featured Article, please contact Ian Sheldon at AEPPEditor@gmail.com.
The basic focus of any Featured Article in AEPP should be on understanding a central idea within the subject matter of the journal that will be of broad interest, and that is either in dispute among researchers and/or has major implications for public policy. The intended audience of each Featured Article includes not only academic researchers, but the broader audience of all agricultural and applied economists as well as others interested in economic issues working outside academia in government agencies, NGOs, and “think-tanks”.
