PSL Quarterly Review

Aims & Scope

PSL Quarterly Review is a quarterly open-access electronic journal that provides an open forum for debate on economics and economic policy.

PSL Quarterly Review is a pluralist journal: we welcome contributions in all fields and from all the schools and research paradigms of economics, without any discrimination.

All submissions are subject to peer review, based on two criteria: their method should be rigorous, and their contents should be relevant.

Both criteria must be fulfilled for acceptance for publication.

The editors of PSL Quarterly Review hold a negative view of several practices of contemporary academic publishing, especially in economics.

Thus, while we welcome replication studies, we strongly discourage the submission of mere econometric exercises or of articles aimed at displaying technical prowess per se.

Authors are invited to clearly highlight the relevance of their work for economic analysis and/or economic policy.

Unlike other economic journals, PSL Quarterly Review strives for relevance and topicality in its published articles.

For this reason, we aim at the highest speed of review for all submissions (normally within one month) and subsequent publication of the accepted contributions; for the same reason, we do not seek to accumulate and maintain a substantial backlog of forthcoming articles accepted for publication.

Furthermore, PSL Quarterly Review embraces a fast-track preferential policy towards young scholars (within 5 years from obtaining their Ph.D.), whose articles are always published in the first issue after receipt of the final proofs.
