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.
