Aims

The Electronic Journal of Evolutionary Modeling and Economic Dynamics (e-JEMED) is a noncommercial scientific journal.

The main objective of e-JEMED is to foster the communication of ideas in the very active area of evolutionary modeling. As such, it does not compete with paper-based journals but complements them:

• The publication process of e-JEMED is much quicker. An article can be published as soon as it is accepted. Each submitted article will be evaluated in ten weeks.
• Each publication in e-JEMED can/should include a detailed version of all the appendixes that naturally complement an article based on simulations (at least the code and, more preferably, a working version of the program on the web).
• The authors of the articles published in e-JEMED conserve their copyright and can submit the article to a paper-based journal.

At the same time, e-JEMED is engaged to keep high the scientific level of published articles through a double-blind refereeing process: articles can only be submitted anonymously (see the instructions to authors) and the connection between the anonymous copy and the effective authors is managed by a database. Each article is read by two anonymous referees.

Publications in e-JEMED will be grouped under three headings:

1. Full-length articles;
2. Short notes or debates on published articles;
3. Book and software reviews.

Scope

Articles from all areas of economics can be published in e-JEMED if they are based on an evolutionary model. An unordered, nonexclusive list of possible topics can be given:

• Selection and evolutionary industry dynamics;
• Evolutionary game theory;
• Modeling bounded rationality and learning through evolutionary algorithms;
• Agent based modeling of Complex Adaptive Systems...

Call for papers

e-JEMED is a new journal and the second issue is in preparation. We welcome all submissions in accordance with the aims and the scope of the journal.

Submitted full articles will generally evaluated by two referees in twelve weeks. If referees disagree, the managing editor can ask the opinion of a third referee.

Short notes and reviews will be evaluated by an anonymous referee and the managing editor.

All published articles will finally be presented in this site as

• a detailed html abstract and
• an Adobe Acrobat File.

Diffusion of articles

Articles published in e-JEMED will be registered on all main search bots (Altavista, Excite, Northerline, Goggle...). Hence the importance of the detailed abstract.

e-JEMED has also a RePEc archive (handle: jem). This means that articles will be included in main Internet archives in economics. You can consult e-JEMED's page on IDEAS.

We also expect to be included in JEL and EconLit in a near future.
