The current Editors of /The Journal of Economic Methodology/, John B.
Davis and D. Wade Hands, will be stepping down next year. The new Editor
or Editorial Team is expected to take office in January 2020, with
responsibility for issues from March 2020 onward.
The International Network for Economic Method has established a search
committee to recommend a new Editor (or Editorial Team) to the Board of
Directors when they meet at the INEM 2019 conference. The Committee is
comprised of Marcel Boumans (chair), Dan Hausman and Margaret Schabas.
The Search Committee invites inquiries and expressions of interest from
individuals or teams, and is open to various different arrangements,
including a single Editor, an Editor with Assistant Editors, or two or
more joint Editors. The term of the Editor is six years, with the
expectation of renewal for another six-year term on the mutual agreement
of the Editor(s) and the Board of Directors.
At this time, the Search Committee encourages, by September 1, 2018,
informal nominations or expressions of interest.
We will follow up with a shortlist and encourage formal submissions by
October 1, 2018. These would include a full CV, a statement to motivate
editorial strengths and vision to be brought to the office, and a clear
expression of institutional support, such as funds for an editorial
assistant, travel to other conferences, or course releases. Because the
journal operates entirely on-line, these resources are optional but
advisable.
Communications should be sent to Marcel Boumans: [log in to unmask]

/The Journal of Economic Methodology/is a peer-reviewed research journal
in economic methodology and philosophy of economics as well as cognate
areas of inquiry related to these fields. The Journal distinguishes
between methodology (which concerns the relationship between economics
and broad questions about scientific knowledge) and methods (which
involve particular techniques relevant to practitioners in a specific
field of economics) and reserves the pages of the Journal for authors
and readers with broader epistemic interests.
The scope of /The Journal of Economic Methodology/ covers economic
methodology and philosophy of economics, but within this scope it
encourages diversity in approach and in topic. The Journal considers
research from a number of different perspectives, including historical
and sociological, and publishes work from any area of economic inquiry
as long as it contains a significant epistemological or methodological
component. The Journal carries articles on traditional topics within
economic methodology and philosophy of economics but also encompasses
various subjects from the philosophy of natural or social science to
areas of philosophical inquiry such as ethics, as long as they have a
direct bearing on debates within the two primary fields of inquiry.
The aim is to publish significant research in these fields and to
stimulate, as well as serve as a forum for, substantive discussion of
recent developments. Peer-reviewed research articles constitute the core
of the Journal, although some issues contain symposia on topics of
particular interest. Some symposia fill an entire issue, but there are
mini-symposia made up of regular submissions. Some symposia are
organized by guest editors and some are organized by members of the
editorial team. The Journal has a Book Review Editor and a regular book
review section. In addition to reviews of books on economic methodology
and related topics, the Journal also publishes book review symposia on
titles of particular importance to the field.
The publisher of JEM is Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group. For more
