About this journal
Aims and scope
The History of Economics Review (HER) is a peer-reviewed journal. After an initial screening by the editors, submissions are sent to two referees. Anonymity of authors and referees is preserved. Papers, comments and book reviews written by established international scholars and early career academics appear in HER. Although it is the journal of the History of Economic Thought Society of Australia (HETSA), submissions are invited from across the full range of the history of economic thought regardless of geography or era. The current Editorial Board is drawn from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Europe and the US.
Peer Review Policy:All articles published in HER are peer reviewed, based on initial screening by the editors and refereeing by two anonymous referees. Book reviews over 2000 words are also refereed.
HETSA aims to foster the development, understanding and appreciation of the history of economic ideas. In addition to the Society’s journal, there is an annual conference. For more information about the benefits of membership, please contact the Society President at [email protected]

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.
