A new online-based journal of the World Economics Association, Economic Thought, has been launched and is ready to receive submissions from scholars working in the history of economic thought, economic history, methodology of economics and philosophy of economics. Articles up to 8000 words in the aforementioned fields are welcome.

Economic Thought is committed to openness in academic publishing and wishes to enhance the social and cooperative aspects of research. Submitted articles will be assessed through the open peer review process (see http://www.worldeconomicsassociation.org/Journals/ET/OPD.html), which is an attempt to do away with some of the imperfections of the peer review process in the social sciences. The editors aim to reach a decision on publication no later than 12 weeks after posting the paper to the Open Peer Discussion forum.

You are invited to submit your work to the journal or to visit the Discussion Forum and comment on the posted articles http://discussion.worldeconomicsassociation.org/
