From the Journal Citations Report, here is the new top 5 of journals in the “agricultural economics and policy” category:
- Annual Review of Resource Economics 5.184
- Aquaculture Economics and Management 4.761
- Food Policy 4.552
- Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy 4.083
- American Journal of Agricultural economic 4.082
The number to the right of each journal name is the journal’s impact factor, which has been calculated on the basis of calendar year 2020 citation numbers.
This has been a good year for the American Journal of Agricultural Economics (AJAE), which I have been co-editing since January 2020, as our impact factor went from 3.082 to above 4. This has also been a good year for Food Policy, which I co-edited from 2015 to 2019 with Mario Mazzocchi: the journal’s impact factor went from 4.189 to above 4.5.
Obviously, I am pleased that both journals I have been associated with are doing so well. All credit goes to the co-editors I have had the honor to work with as well as our associate editors, reviewers, the publishing staff we work with, and the authors who elect to submit high-quality manuscripts to the journals.
Also of note is the fact that, by impact factor, the AJAE slightly ahead of the Journal of Health Economics slightly behind the Journal of Labor Economics.
