- Extends feminist theoretical, historical, and methodological contributions to economics and the economy
- Offers feminist insights into the underlying constructs of the economics discipline and into the historical, political, and cultural context of economic knowledge
- Provides a feminist rethinking of theory and policy in diverse fields, including those not directly related to gender
- Includes cross-disciplinary and cross-country perspectives

All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and double anonymous peer review.

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.
