Ecological Economics
The Transdisciplinary Journal of the International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE)The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between "nature's household" (ecosystems) and "humanity's household" (the economy). Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership.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 environmental policies, case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony, etc. New issues in this area are rapidly emerging and will find a ready forum in Ecological Economics.Ecological Economics Sections All submissions to Ecological Economics are reviewed using the general criteria of quality, creativity, originality, accuracy, and contribution to the field.

Journal of Policy Modeling
A Social Science Forum of World IssuesThe Journal is published by the Society for Policy Modeling as a forum for analysis and debate on policy issues. The Journal focuses upon the economic, social and political developments that now shape the world economy and the policies needed to improve them.The Journal emphasizes formal modeling techniques serving the purposes of decision making. Such a focus requires, in the first place, the highest academic standards, adherence to the state-of-the-art in the field, and the ability to critique prevailing conceptual methods. The proposed analytical instruments must be empirically validated on the basis of replicable data, and take into account the interdependence of economic trends over-time, countries and sectors.A second, key element in the evaluation of a submitted article is whether the proposed model can be of use for policy purposes and what policy-makers can learn from it. Editors discourage submission of papers exclusively focused on techniques, without answering the question: "what can public policy make out of the conclusions reached by the proposed model?" Historical and thematic reviews of modeling are welcomed.The Journal of Policy Modeling is published bimonthly by Elsevier Inc. It is supported by a special purpose, on-line depository of scientific papers, EconModels.com . By fostering an interactive exchange views about fully refereed papers, EconModels.com helps authors to adapt to digital life, gain broad recognition, generate debate, and share information with peers hard to reach otherwise. A Board decision whether to publish a given paper in the Journal of Policy Modeling or in EconModel.com reflects mostly logistical considerations (length, space, relevance, timing, queue). The scientific merits of research must be outstanding in either case.- ISSN: 0161-8938

Technological Forecasting and Social Change
A major forum for those wishing to deal directly with the methodology and practice of technological forecasting and future studies as planning tools as they interrelate social, environmental and technological factors.Please see our SI Guideline for information on submitting a Special Issue proposal.MISSIONTFSC invites submissions that focus on technology and its impact on society. Technology provides opportunities for growth and innovation by offering the means for introducing novel or improved products, services, and processes that have the potential to provide additional value to societal actors. TFSC is committed to publishing research with a clear technological focus that significantly contributes to both theory and practice. Technological innovation can optimize existing business activities, extend into new business areas, push the frontiers of markets, and contribute to mitigating and adapting to socioeconomic and environmental challenges. Tapping into the innovation potential of technology and evaluating its impact requires moving across four fields of research: first, forecasting the emergence, development, and impact of technologies; second, taking managerial decisions at the organizational and industrial level to materialize the innovation potential of technologies; third, examining and evaluating the multifaceted effects that the implementation of technological innovations have on society, organizations, and the environment, and fourth, developing appropriate governance processes and frameworks. .THE FOCUS OF TECHNOLOGICAL FORECASTING AND SOCIAL CHANGE: WHAT WE AIM TO PUBLISH AND WHAT WE DO NOT PUBLISHTFSC invites submissions that focus on technology and its impact on society. Technology provides opportunities for growth and innovation by offering the means for introducing novel or improved products, services, and processes that have the potential to provide additional value to societal actors. This technological innovation can be directed at optimizing existing business activities, extending into new business areas, pushing the frontiers of markets, and contributing to mitigating and adopting socioeconomic and environmental challenges.Tapping into the innovation potential of technology and evaluating its impact requires moving across three majorfields of research.First, the future characteristics of technologies need to be forecasted. This implies observing and analyzing the emergence and development of novel technologies and assessing their potential functioning and impact on society. Technological forecasting is also indispensable to make informed decisions about investing resources, developing new products, planning for policy implications, and strategically positioning technological innovations in a competitive market. Moreover, it is a vital tool that helps organizations adapt to technological change and plan for the future with greater certainty. Manuscripts focused on forecasting the emergence, development, and impact of technologies should be submitted to the Technological Forecasting and Modelling bureau of TFSC. Second, materializing the innovation potential of technologies and ensuring that it becomes instrumental in advancing businesses, economies and societal goals requires managerial decisions. Such managerial decisions for example concern choices between technologies, allocation of resources to technological innovation initiatives, organizational change to enable technological transformation. Here the focus is on research on the management of technologies rather than technologies that support managerial decisions. Research that informs decisions in technology management at the organizational and industrial level should be submitted to the Management of Technology bureau of TFSC. Third, research efforts are needed to examine and evaluate the multifaceted effects of technological advancements on society, organizations, and the environment. This area of study builds on contributions that seek to understand the direct and indirect consequences of technology implementation, ranging from its economic implications to social changes, without forgetting about environmental effects. The ultimate goal is to provide assessments that can inform policymakers, businesses, and the public about the benefits and risks associated with the deployment of technological innovations. This field of research also emphasizes the importance of tracking the impact of technologies over time and across different settings. Moreover, this focus can involve not just assessing the outcomes of technology implementation, but also the processes by which technologies are integrated and adopted. Research in this domain should be submitted to the Impact and Evaluation of Technology bureau of TFSC.Fourth, developing appropriate institutional structures, regulatory frameworks and decision-making processes is essential for ensuring that innovative technologies equitably address societal challenges while managing associated risks. This implies understanding how different approaches can effectively facilitate and guide the diffusion and deployment of technologies, encompassing studies of regulatory innovation, policy experimentation, and governance models that can adapt to rapidly evolving technologies. It asks how different stakeholders - including government bodies, technical experts, industry players, civil society organizations, and the public - can be effectively engaged in technology governance processes. Manuscripts focused on understanding how governance of emerging technologies can foster sociotechnical progress while protecting public interests should be submitted to the Technology Governance and Public Policy bureau of TFSC.During the submission process, authors are responsible for carefully selecting the bureau in which their study should be assessed for potential publication in TFSC. We also encourage submissions taking a more holistic approach to the study of technology and its impact on society, by covering thematic areas that are relevant for more than one bureau. It is also important to highlight that manuscripts looking into individual, organizational, or societal factors that impact technological development are out of scope. Moreover, TFSC does not publish research that focuses on social change only, unless authors examine this change through the lens of specific technological developments. All manuscripts published in TFSC are expected to make substantial theoretical and practical contributions. Practical contributions can be translated into recommendations for management practice but also as policy implications. These contributions need to be explicitly spelled out and well-rooted in the findings of your study. To substantially advance our understanding of technology and its impact on society, submissions have to be rooted inan effective, consistent, and current theoretical basis. An effective theoretical underpinning enables researchers to frame the subject matter under investigation. For a theory base to be consistent, all ideas developed in the manuscript need to build on a theoretical framework with matching ontological and epistemological basic assumptions. The theoretical underpinning is current if authors effectively leverage state-of-the-art knowledge provided in scientific publications. TFSC will not publish manuscripts that lack a strong theoretical contribution, methodological development, and practical implications. TFSC also desk reject papers that violate submission or ethical guidelines as outlined in the guide for authors on the journal webpage.- ISSN: 0040-1625
Structural Change and Economic Dynamics
Structural Change and Economic Dynamics publishes articles about theoretical and applied, historical and methodological aspects of structural change in economic systems. The journal publishes work analyzing dynamics and structural change in economic, technological, institutional and behavioral patterns. Articles might examine the effects of the incorporation of new technologies and infrastructures, aspects of international economic integration and development, the changing configuration of employment and income distribution, interdependence between environmental and economic change, instability and crisis. An important aim is to facilitate communication among researchers who are actively engaged in the study of the various aspects of structural change and the dynamics of economic systems from an analytical or policy point of view. SCED encourages articles that apply econometric and statistical techniques to the above themes. The journal also publishes pure theoretical research on the structural dynamics of economic systems, particularly in the fields of multisectoral, complex and dynamical analysis.- ISSN: 0954-349X
World Development
The Multi-Disciplinary International Journal Devoted to the Study and Promotion of World DevelopmentWorld Development is a multi-disciplinary monthly journal of development studies. It seeks to explore ways of improving standards of living, and the human condition generally, by examining potential solutions to problems such as: poverty, unemployment, malnutrition, disease, lack of shelter, environmental degradation, inadequate scientific and technological resources, trade and payments imbalances, international debt, gender and ethnic discrimination, militarism and civil conflict, and lack of popular participation in economic and political life.Contributions offer constructive ideas and analysis, and highlight the lessons to be learned from the experiences of different nations, societies, and economies. World Development recognizes 'development' as a process of change involving nations, economies, political alliances, institutions, groups, and individuals. Development processes occur in different ways and at all levels: inside the family, the firm and the farm; locally, provincially, nationally, and globally. Our goal is to learn from one another, regardless of nation, culture, income, academic discipline, profession or ideology. We hope to set a modest example of enduring global cooperation through maintaining an international dialogue and dismantling barriers to communication.Author... are also welcome to submit to the journal's companion title, World Development Perspectives .- ISSN: 0305-750X
