Generalist
Advances in Austrian Economics: Advances in Austrian Economics is nondogmatic and open to all who are interested in the Austrian-subjectivist tradition. They stand ready to publish the work of critics so long as it challenges Austrians and subjectivists to think more deeply about their subject. In general, the annual hopes to encourage both sympathetic encouragement and well-crafted criticism.
Brazilian Journal of Political Economy (Revista de Economia Politica): The Brazilian Journal of Political Economy will give priority to papers on political economy, while continuing to publish applied papers containing relevant analysis of the Brazilian economy and its international insertion. Political economy is here broadly understood as the analysis relating the economy with the state. The Journal maintains its pluralistic character, and so it will host a diversified range of ideological orientations, from institutionalist and public choice, to Keynesian, Schumpeterian, and structuralist approaches. The contributions, however, are expected to focus in the intersection between state and the market. Besides purely theoretical papers, the ones on the Brazilian economy and the Brazilian state, papers adopting a more general approach on Latin America and the world political economy will be fit for publication in the Journal. We emphasize that the authors respect the Instructions for Contributors, particularly to what concerns to the size limits. Papers will be published essentially according to the order of approval, but the ones with less than 10 pages will continue to be given priority. All papers are available for download except the ones in the last eight issues, that are just accessible by subscribers.
Cambridge Journal of Economics: The Cambridge Journal of Economics, founded in the traditions of Marx, Keynes, Kalecki, Joan Robinson and Kaldor, provides a focus for theoretical, applied, interdisciplinary and methodological work, with strong emphasis on realism of analysis, the development of critical perspectives, the provision and use of empirical evidence, and the construction of policy. The Editors welcome submissions in this spirit on economic and social issues such as unemployment, inflation, the organization of production, the distribution of the social product, class conflict, economic underdevelopment, globalisation and ind international economic integration, changing forms and boundaries of markets and planning, and uneven development and instabiloity in the world economy.

Contributions to Political Economy: Contributions to Political Economy provides a forum for the academic discussion of original ideas and arguments drawn from important critical traditions in economic analysis. Articles fall broadly within the lines of thought associated with the work of the Classical political economists : Marx, Keynes, and Sraffa. While the majority of articles are theoretical and historical in emphasis, the journal welcomes articles of a more applied character. It also review noreworthy books recently published.
Evolutionary and Institutional Economics Review: The Review is issued by the Japan Association for Evolutionary Economics to provide an international forum for new theoretical and empirical approaches to evolutionary and institutional economics. The Review, free from the view of equilibrium economics and methodological individualism, should face the diversity of human behavior and dynamic transformation of institutions. In the Review, 'economics' is used in its broadest sense. It covers from the classic research in economic history, economic thought, economic theory, and management science to emerging research fields such as economic sociology, bio-economics, evolutionary game theory, agent-based modeling, complex systems study, econo-physics, experimental economics, and so on. The Review believes that a truly interdisciplinary discussion is needed to propel the investigation in the dynamic process of socio-economical change where institutions as emergent outcomes of human actions do matter. The focus areas of the Review (not exhaustive): foundations of institutional and evolutionary economics; criticism of mainstream views in the social sciences; knowledge and learning in socio-economic life; development and innovation of technologies; transformation of industrial organizations and economic systems; experimental studies in economics; agent-based modeling of socio-economic systems; evolution of the governance structure of firms and other organizations; comparison of dynamically changing institutions of the world; and policy proposals in the transformational process of economic life.

International Review of Applied Economics: The International Review of Applied Economics is devoted to the practical applications of economic ideas. Applied economics is widely interpreted to embrace empirical work and the application of economics to the evaluation and development of economic policies. The interaction between empirical work and economic policy is an important feature of the journal. The journal is international in scope. Articles that draw lessons from the experience of one country for the benefit of others, or that seek to make cross-country comparisons are particularly welcomed. Contributions which discuss policy issues from theoretical positions neglected in other journals are also encouraged. Although the International Review of Applied Economics associates itself with the non-neo-classical tradition, it does not identify itself with any specific theoretical or political position.
INTERVENTION: Journal of Economics: INTERVENTION sees itself as a forum for heterodox approaches—heterodox in the sense of a demarcation from the prevailing mainstream in economics. The aims of such a forum are mutual exchange and the discussion of different perspectives from different economic schools. The journal therefore is not committed to a single paradigm; editors, scientific board and authors rather share a critical position towards the current mainstream.
Journal of Australian Political Economy: This is Australia's leading journal for heterodox economics and interdisciplinary political economy. First appearing in 1977, it is now published twice a year, each issue normally containing about six articles and a number of book reviews. Some issues of the journal focus on a particular theme, e.g. industrial relations, the global financial crisis, superannuation policy, the political economy of climate change. Other issues contain a range of articles on topics, including critical contributions to economic theory, debates on economic policy and interpretations of recent economic changes. Contributed articles should be sent to frank.stilwel@sydney.edu.au

Schumpeter, it is designed to focus on original research with an evolutionary conception of the economy. The journal will publish articles with a strong emphasis on dynamics, changing structures (including technologies, institutions, beliefs and behaviours) and disequilibrium processes with an evolutionary perspective (innovation, selection, imitation, etc.). It favours interdisciplinary analysis and is devoted to theoretical, methodological and applied work. Research areas include: industrial dynamics; multi-sectoral and cross-country studies of productivity; innovations and new technologies; dynamic competition and structural change in a national and international context; causes and effects of technological, political and social changes; cyclic processes in economic evolution; the role of governments in a dynamic world; modelling complex dynamic economic systems; application of concepts, such as self-organization, bifurcation, and chaos theory to economics; evolutionary games.
Journal of Post Keynesian Economics: The Journal of Post Keynesian Economics is a scholarly journal of innovative theoretical and empirical work that sheds fresh light on contemporary economic problems.

The journal is open to empirical contributions related to the above themes.
New School Economic Review: At a time of declining representation of critical thinking in economics, the New School Economic Review aims to be a student-run journal with a content influenced by the history and tradition of the New School. New School's history points to a multidisciplinary and heterodox approach to the social sciences. The early Classical thinkers - Smith, Ricardo and Marx - realized that the study of economics must be the study of political economy - economics within a social and political context. In keeping with this tradition, the New School Economic Review will serve as a medium for critical thinking in economics but with a multidisciplinary perspective encompassing all the social sciences. Furthermore, the NSER will aim to develop a forum for professors, practitioners, and students to discuss current issues in the discipline of economics while sharing insights from other disciplines, as well as debating world political and social affairs.

Political Economy Quarterly: This is a new academic journal published by the Japan Society of Political Economy.
Post-Autistic Economics Review: The Post-Autistic Economics Review is an email-delivered economics journal working against economics’ “uncontrolled use” and treatment of mathematics as “an end in itself”, and the resulting “autistic science”, the repressive domination of neoclassical theory and derivative approaches in the curriculum, and the dogmatic teaching style, which leaves no place for critical and reflective thought. PAER favors engagement with empirical and concrete economic realities, prioritizing science over scientism, a pluralism of approaches adapted to the complexity of economic objects and to the uncertainty surrounding most of the big economics questions, and initiating reforms to rescue economics from its autistic and socially irresponsible state.
Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics: The Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics promotes the development and extension of Austrian economics, and encourages the analysis of contemporary issues in the mainstream of economics from an Austrian perspective.

In particular, Economics, Politics, History, Sociology, Anthropology, Ecology, Social Work, Commerce, Information Technology, Law and allied disciplines would receive special priorities. The IJDI welcomes publication of papers that are empirically oriented, but with solid methodological foundation based on realism and pragmatism rather than on idealism. It encourages critical analysis of development issues not only from the heterodox viewpoints (such as new- and post-structuralist, neo- and new-institutionalist, etc.), but also from the neo-liberalist viewpoint in orthodox tradition. The IJDI is intended for being an international forum of exchanging viewpoints of a wide variety of perspectives and disciplines. It is expected that the IJDI would be a genuine guideline for socially appropriate policy prescriptions made by the development practitioners and policy makers in both developing and emerging market economies of Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America.

Articles might examine the effects of the incorporation of new technologies, the changing pattern in income-distribution and employment, the interdependence between environmental and economic change, and so on. SCED encourages articles about statistical and econometric techniques suitable for this type of research. The journal also publishes pure theoretical research on the structural dynamics of economic systems, in particular in the field of multisectoral analysis, the application of difference and differential equations and of the theory of bifurcations and chaos to analyse economic dynamics.
History of Economics and Methodology

Each discipline can be enriched by the other. Economics and Philosophy aims to promote their mutual enrichment by publishing articles and book reviews in all areas linking these subjects. Topics include the methodology and epistemology of economics, the foundations of decision theory and game theory, the nature of rational choice in general, historical work on economics with a philosophical purpose, ethical issues in economics, the use of economic techniques in ethical theory, and many other subjects.
European Journal of the History of Economic Thought: The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought (EJHET) has quickly established itself as a leading forum for lively discussion on a wide range of issues in the history of economic thought.

History of Economic Ideas: History of Economic Ideas is a new international series of Quaderni di Storia dell'Economia Politica, a journal founded in 1983 to promote collaboration between scholars who share an historical approach to the major issues in economics. The journal, which is written in English, examines the origins of these issues, the various "revolutions" which have left their mark on economics and the spread of economic ideas beyond the narrow circle of specialists. History of Economic Ideas rejects the dichotomy between "analysis" and "culture": both aspects are of equal importance for a wider understanding of the subject. In a period such as our own, where paradigms that once seemed unshakeable are now being challenged, a multidisciplinary analysis of the historical development of economics might contribute to shedding light on the issues at the root of current debate. Besides essays and critical surveys, the journal includes archive material and reviews of new books on history of economics.

Its intention is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of the results of scholarly work in this field. It offers empirical research and theoretical perspectives from all branches of the social sciences, representing all points of view within economics.
Microeconomics
Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization: The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy's structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome. The journal is eclectic as to research method; systematic observation and careful description, simulation modeling and mathematical analysis are all within its purview. Empirical work, including controlled laboratory experimentation, that probes close to the core of the issues in theoretical dispute is encouraged.
Journal of Economic Psychology: The Journal of Economic Psychology aims to present research that will improve understanding of behavioral, especially socio-psychological, aspects of economic phenomena and processes. The Journal seeks to be a channel for the increased interest in using behavioral science methods for the study of economic behavior, and so to contribute to better solutions of societal problems, by stimulating new approaches and new theorizing about economic affairs. Economic psychology as a discipline studies the psychological mechanisms that underlie consumption and other economic behavior. It deals with preferences, choices, decisions, and factors influencing these, as well as the consequences of decisions and choices with respect to the satisfaction of needs. This includes the impact of external economic phenomena upon human behavior and well-being. Studies in economic psychology may relate to different levels of aggregation, from the household and the individual consumer to the macro level of whole nations. Economic behavior in connection with inflation, unemployment, taxation, economic development, as well as consumer information and economic behavior in the market place are thus the major fields of interest. The Journal is published under the auspices of the International Association for Research in Economic Psychology. Also here.
Interdisciplinary Journals

CRITIQUE, Journal of Socialist Thought: CRITIQUE is an independent refereed scholarly journal, founded in 1973. It attempts to analyse contemporary society, both East and West, from a critical Marxist perspective. Rejecting the concept of socialism in one country, and the possibility that a country could be both socialist and undemocratic, it seeks to show that the problems of our time are governed by the necessity for democratic control over all aspects of society. The absence of democratic control leads to an inefficient, wasteful and hierarchically structured economy, though in different ways according to the particular society. Critique attempts to analyse the forms, laws, tendencies and relations existing in different countries, in the broader perspective of the epoch. It attempts to document the development of socialist opposition movements in Eastern Europe but its fundamental endeavour is to develop Marxist method and political economy both in principal and through application. Also contact P.K.Kennedy@gcal.ac.uk.

The journal is published for the Institute of Social Studies, The Hague.
Ecological Economics: The journal is concered with extending and integrating the study and management of ‘nature’s household’ (ecology) with ‘humankind’s household’ (ecoomics). This integration is necessary because conceptual and professional isolation have led to econoics and environmental policies which are mutually destructive rather than reinforcing in the long term. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open. Specific research areas covered include : valuation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture and development, ecologically integrated technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales from local to regional to global, implications of thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource management and conservation, critical assessments of the basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions, economic and ecological consequences of genetically engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and management, alternative principles for valuing natural wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental services into national income and wealth accounts, methods of implementing efficient environmenttal policies, and case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony. It is the transdiciplinary journal of the International Society for Ecological Economics.

Journal of Critical Realism: Journal of Critical Realism provides a forum for scholars wishing to promote realist emancipatory philosophy, social theory and science on an interdisciplinary and international basis, and for those who wish to engage with such an approach. Critical realism's intellectual power and vitality, together with the sheer range of its concerns across the gamut of human endeavour, will ensure that this leads to no inward looking provincialism. We envisage that much critical realist scholarship and research will continue to be published elsewhere and will actively promote exchanges, friendly as well as polemical, with other approaches. It is published by the International Association for Critical Realism.

To that end, we publish studies that seek to discuss, elaborate and/or extend Marxian theory. Our concerns include theoretical and philosophical (methodological and epistemological) matters as well as more concrete empirical analyses—all work that leads to the further development of distinctively Marxian discourses. We encourage contributions from people in many disciplines and from a wide range of perspectives. We are also interested in expnanding the diversity of styles for producing and presenting Marxian discourses. Rethiniking Marxism is association with the Association for Economic and Social Analysis.
