《經(jīng)濟方法論雜志》是一份同行評議的研究期刊，涉及經(jīng)濟學方法論、經(jīng)濟學哲學以及與這些領(lǐng)域相關(guān)的研究領(lǐng)域。該雜志區(qū)分了方法學(涉及經(jīng)濟學與科學知識的廣泛問題之間的關(guān)系)和方法(涉及與特定經(jīng)濟學領(lǐng)域的從業(yè)者相關(guān)的特定技術(shù))，并將雜志頁面保留給具有更廣泛認知興趣的作者和讀者。《經(jīng)濟學方法論雜志》的范圍包括經(jīng)濟學方法論和經(jīng)濟學哲學，但在這個范圍內(nèi)，它鼓勵方法和主題的多樣性。該雜志從許多不同的角度考慮研究，包括歷史和社會學，并出版任何領(lǐng)域的經(jīng)濟調(diào)查工作，只要它包含一個重要的認識論或方法論的組成部分。《華爾街日報》有文章在傳統(tǒng)的主題在經(jīng)濟的經(jīng)濟學方法論和哲學,也包括各種學科的哲學自然或社會科學哲學探究的領(lǐng)域,比如道德,只要他們在辯論有直接關(guān)系的兩個主要領(lǐng)域內(nèi)的調(diào)查。其目的是在這些領(lǐng)域發(fā)表重要的研究報告，并促進并作為一個論壇對最近的事態(tài)發(fā)展進行實質(zhì)性討論。例如，《經(jīng)濟方法論雜志》發(fā)表了一些論文，解決了以下關(guān)鍵問題:當代經(jīng)濟學理論與實踐的方法論分析經(jīng)濟學哲學基礎(chǔ)的主題(傳統(tǒng)的或近代的);早期經(jīng)濟理論家的方法論著作和實踐;經(jīng)濟學方法論傳統(tǒng)論爭的原創(chuàng)性與新闡釋科學哲學中與經(jīng)濟學方法論爭論有關(guān)的傳統(tǒng)主題(如因果關(guān)系、解釋、檢驗、確認等);對經(jīng)濟知識有重大影響的科學哲學、科學研究或者其他科學學科的最新發(fā)展;對經(jīng)濟學方法論問題采取修辭、社會學、科學研究或經(jīng)濟學方法的研究;具有潛在方法論意義的經(jīng)濟學研究工具、工具和技術(shù)的發(fā)展。

The Journal of Economic Methodology is a peer-reviewed research journal in economic methodology and philosophy of economics as well as cognate areas of inquiry related to these fields. The Journal distinguishes between methodology (which concerns the relationship between economics and broad questions about scientific knowledge) and methods (which involve particular techniques relevant to practitioners in a specific field of economics) and reserves the pages of the Journal for authors and readers with broader epistemic interests.The scope of The Journal of Economic Methodology covers economic methodology and philosophy of economics, but within this scope it encourages diversity in approach and in topic. The Journal considers research from a number of different perspectives, including historical and sociological, and publishes work from any area of economic inquiry as long as it contains a significant epistemological or methodological component. The Journal carries articles on traditional topics within economic methodology and philosophy of economics but also encompasses various subjects from the philosophy of natural or social science to areas of philosophical inquiry such as ethics, as long as they have a direct bearing on debates within the two primary fields of inquiry.The aim is to publish significant research in these fields and to stimulate, as well as serve as a forum for, substantive discussion of recent developments. For example, The Journal of Economic Methodology has published papers that address key issues such as: methodological analysis of the theory and practice of contemporary economics; topics in the philosophical foundations of economics (either traditional or recent); the methodological writings and practice of early economic theorists; original contributions and new interpretations of traditional debates in economic methodology; traditional topics in the philosophy of science (e.g. causality, explanation, testing, confirmation, etc.) that are relevant to debates within economic methodology; recent developments in the philosophy of science, science studies or other scientific disciplines that have significant bearing on economic knowledge; studies that take a rhetorical, sociological, science studies or economic approach to methodological questions about economics; developments in the tools, instruments and technologies of research in economics that have potential methodological implications.Peer-reviewed research articles constitute the core of the Journal, although some issues contain symposia on topics of particular interest. Some symposia fill an entire issue, but there are mini-symposia made up of regular submissions. Some symposia are organized by guest editors and some are organized by members of the editorial team. The Journal has a Book Review Editor and a regular book review section. In addition to reviews of books on economic methodology and related topics, the Journal also publishes book review symposia on titles of particular importance to the field.
