The Economic Journal is one of the founding journals of modern economics first published in 1891. The journal remains one of the top journals in the profession and provides a platform for high quality, innovative, and imaginative economic research, publishing papers in all fields of economics for a broad international readership. Its editorial board includes leading economists from more than ten countries of the world, for more than 30 years John Maynard Keynes was its editor.
The work of an Associate Editor in a scientific journal includes searching for reviewers and receiving feedback from them on the papers sent to the journal, own analysis of the papers and providing recommendations (publish, improve or reject) to one of the editors, who make the final decision and inform the authors. Working on the editorial board of an international journal allows to establish scientific contacts with colleagues from all over the world, keep abreast of the latest research and stay on the forefront of the world economic science.
