About this journal
Aims and scope
The full statement of purpose drafted by the founding co-editors is printed in the first issue of the Journal and contributors are invited to consult it. In summary it announces a scholarly journal receptive to innovative theoretical work that can shed fresh light on contemporary economic problems and to encourage evolving analysis and empirical study to contest the mainstream orthodoxy that suffuses the major economic journals. While the editors expect submissions that reflect Keynes’s method and theoretical approach, the term post Keynesian is broadly interpreted to include the investigation of new problems, theoretical perspectives and policy proposals consistent with Keynes’s vision of the open-ended nature of economic study and reflecting the work of Classical and Marxian economists as well as Robinson, Weintraub, Kaldor, Kahn, Eichner, Heilbroner, Graziani, Sylos Labini, Sraffa, Godley, Galbraith, Minsky, Boulding and others who have contributed to the evolution of the post Keynesian tradition.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
