Submission
Article submissions (short or long articles, or contributions to special issues) to the Revue économique are to be made online via the following site:
https://reco.manuscriptmanager.net
(see below the elements to prepare)
(The Revue stopped accepting submissions by e-mail on 1 February 2023.)
Authors who submitted their article prior to 1 February 2023 should continue to send all revisions by e-mail.
Articles can be submitted at any time during the year.
All the articles are anonymously evaluated by two different external experts outside the Editorial Board, most of them being academics.
An article that has been refused by Revue économique without proposal to re-submit won’t be evaluated again.
The Revue does not publish book reviews.
Author Ethics
All submitted articles must not have been previously published elsewhere. They must not be simultaneously submitted to another journal, not even in another language. They must respect the following ethical principles: originality, transparency, scientific relevance, correctness (relative to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, appropriation, conflicts of interest, defamation).
Editorial Principles of the Revue économique
The Revue économique is a generalist journal that publishes articles spanning all areas of theoretical and empirical economic research. It also welcomes contributions that draw on insights from other social sciences to enrich economic analysis in terms of both ideas and methodology.
The journal prioritizes high-quality, original scientific work that stands out in the academic literature and makes significant contributions across the field of economics. Published articles are recognized for the rigor of their analysis, robust use of data and methodology, and clear presentation of research questions and arguments.
Fees
None. Submission, as publication of accepted articles, is free of charge.
Processing Time
The editorial board has implemented a policy that allows us to “desk reject” submissions so that authors can more rapidly reorient their submissions to another outlet. The average response time for a desk reject is ten days.
In all other cases, articles are anonymously reviewed by one (short papers) or two (long papers) outside referees. The average time to first response time was 5 months in 2018. The desk rejection rate was 87% in 2018.
Language
French-speaking authors’ articles can be evaluated in English, but in the case of acceptance, they will have to translate their article to French for publication. Articles are published (both print and online) in English only if one of the authors doesn’t speak French.
There is a possibility of publishing an additional online English version of each article, but additional costs are payed by the authors (editing, html version, online upload).
Submissions of Short Articles
We welcome short theoretical or empirical articles of up to around 10 pages (or 30,000 characters, including spaces). These can cover any area of economic analysis and take various forms: summaries of empirical studies, presentations of ongoing research, discussions on economic policy, responses to published articles, or current debates in economic theory.
The Editorial Board ensures these articles undergo a swift review process to preserve their timeliness and relevance.
Elements to Prepare in Order to Submit an Article Online
- 1. Manuscript title
- 2. Email addresses of all co-authors
- 3. 150-word abstract
- 4. Five keywords
- 5. Anonymous manuscript file (PDF or Word format):
- Must not contain any identifying information such as the author’s name, institutional affiliation, professional address, acknowledgements, etc.
- Nowhere in the submission: not in (1) the file name, (2) the content of the manuscript, nor (3) the file metadata (check file properties).
- Pages must be numbered.
- 6. Fully completed title page file: title, authors, affiliations, professional addresses, acknowledgements, and, if applicable, copies of permissions for image reproduction.
- 7. Any additional anonymous supplementary file(s), if applicable, in .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .jpg, or .png formats
8. Confirm that all co-authors agree to the following language clause:
If all authors are French-speaking and the article is submitted in English, they agree to provide a French translation of the article if it is accepted after peer review. - 9. Confirm that all co-authors agree to sign the author–publisher contract upon acceptance (see below: Article deposit policy)
10. JEL classification codes - Optional:
11. Cover letter to the editor-in-chief
Any accepted article must later provide, in both French and English: the title, abstract, and keywords. It must also comply with the formatting guidelines outlined in the following document: Guidelines for Authors.
Authors working with LaTeX may use the official document class of the Revue, available here:
👉 https://sdrive.cnrs.fr/s/G7tGSSoWT6yyLts. Instructions are included in the [Readme.pdf] file.
Submission of a Special Issue
To send before May 15th, each year, at our email, with a presentation of the project, the names of the coordinators, and the description of the associated event (if relevant). Accepted proposals are notified in July. The Revue économique expects the special issue project to include an open call for papers, and therefore does not guarantee publication of submitted papers. The rules of the Journal (see: Submission above) apply to special issues: original work, double-blind evaluation by the Journal, final publication in French for papers whose authors are all French-speaking. The special issue project can therefore argue that there is a pool of potential contributors that will enable us to gather a sufficiently large number of submissions. While it is important to list the themes that would be the subject of the call for contributions, the instruction to issue an open call for contributions implies not indicating a priori the list of contributions that could be published.
Posting and Dissemination Policy
Authors are required to sign a contract with Presses de Sciences Po. Given the economic vulnerability of humanities and social sciences journals:
-
The original submitted version (pre-print) may be shared freely.
-
New versions created during the review process, as well as the final accepted version (post-print: not proofread, not typeset), may only be shared starting one year after the publication of the publisher’s version (the same applies to an accepted version of the article in another language).
Presses de Sciences Po makes the publisher’s version freely accessible upon publication.
No deposit of this publisher’s version is allowed in online repositories.
