About this journal
Aims and scope
Journal of Cultural Economy is concerned with the role played by various forms of material cultural practice in the organisation of the economy and the social, and the relations between them. It offers a unique interdisciplinary forum for work on these questions from across the social sciences and humanities. These include, but are not restricted to, the contributions of governmentality, pragmatism, narrative analysis, actor network theory and science and technology studies and associated debates about valuation, measurement, performativity and performance in economy, culture and society.
A range of perspectives have been deployed to explore the governance of economies and societies and the making up of social and organizational identities. Historical, sociological, geographical, business and anthropological studies of markets, science, technology, organisations and finance all address the relations between culture, economy and society. Cultural studies, cultural policy and creative industry studies have also animated a renewed focus on the material cultures of production and consumption. While all of these approaches to the relations between culture, economy and society have interacted with, and influenced each other, there has been a relative shortage of debate across and between them. Journal of Cultural Economy seeks to remedy this deficiency by providing the premiere forum for debating the relations between culture, economy and the social in all their manifestations.
Peer Review Policy:
Published articles in Journal of Cultural Economy have all been subjected to rigorous peer review comprising initial editorial screening and anonymous refereeing by at least two referees.

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.
