Economic Systems Research is a double anonymized peer-reviewed scientific journal that is dedicated to disseminating knowledge on interindustry economic systems, structures and processes. This includes the interaction of economies with the natural environment, their use of natural and human resources and their change across time and space. The journal emphasises research that convincingly demonstrates immediate relevance and practical solutions to contemporary social, economic and environmental problems.
Economic Systems Research is the official journal of the International Input-Output Association (IIOA) and is designed to facilitate the cross-cultural exchange of knowledge. As such, it is non-partisan, factual and problem-oriented. Topics within the purview of the journal are those with content that are inherently considered intersectoral issues. Any social, economic, and engineering topics that use multisectoral databases constitute relevant subject matter. This includes, but is not limited to, research that employs linear and non-linear multisectoral models of economic trade, structure, change and development; focuses on social and cultural issues, like inequality; that describes ecosystems and the treatment of depletable resources; addresses environmental and strategic questions; and measures the nature of major disruptions and disasters. The journal also publishes descriptions of novel interindustry databases, as well as of new and significant algorithms used to compile such databases, as well as algorithms that enable new, insightful analyses of such databases. The journal welcomes reviews of literature within its scope as well as special issues on related emerging topics. A prerequisite for publication is the inclusion of a detailed, concrete and convincing set of conclusions, demonstrating the immediate applicability and usefulness of the research findings for real-world practice. Special issues must be pre-approved by the journal’s Editor(s) prior to submission.
Peer Review Policy: All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two anonymous referees (i.e. double anonymized 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.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles published in the
journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science
Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI),
Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources
Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
Impact Factor Best Quartile*:
the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation
Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
5 Year Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal
within a five-year window.
CiteScore (Scopus)†:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over
a four-year period.
CiteScore Best Quartile†:
the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1
= 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
SNIP
(Source Normalized Impact per Paper):
the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation
potential in the field.
SJR
(Scimago Journal Rank):
Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the
number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
From submission to first decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a
first decision in the last six months.
From submission to first post-review decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review.
Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last
six months.
From acceptance to online publication:
the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to
online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published
in the last six months.
Acceptance rate:
articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous
calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
