Journal of Economic Methodology

期刊简介：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.

【译文】《经济方法论杂志》是一份同行评审的经济方法论和经济学哲学以及与这些领域相关的研究领域的研究期刊。该杂志区分了方法论（涉及经济学和有关科学知识的广泛问题之间的关系）和方法（涉及与特定经济学领域的从业者相关的特定技术），并为具有更广泛认知兴趣的作者和读者保留了该杂志的页面。 《经济方法论杂志》的范围涵盖经济方法论和经济学哲学，但在此范围内它鼓励方法和主题的多样性。该杂志从许多不同的角度考虑研究，包括历史学和社会学，并出版任何经济调查领域的作品，只要它包含重要的认识论或方法论成分。该杂志刊登有关经济方法论和经济学哲学等传统主题的文章，但也涵盖从自然或社会科学哲学到伦理学等哲学探究领域的各种主题，只要它们与两个主要探究领域内的辩论有直接关系。其目的是发表这些领域的重要研究成果，促进对最新发展的实质性讨论，并充当论坛。例如，《经济方法论杂志》发表的论文涉及以下关键问题：当代经济学理论和实践的方法论分析；经济学哲学基础的主题（传统的或现代的）；早期经济理论家的方法论著作和实践；对经济方法论传统辩论的原创贡献和新解释；与经济方法论中的辩论相关的科学哲学中的传统主题（例如因果关系、解释、测试、确认等）；对经济知识有重大影响的科学哲学、科学研究或其他科学学科的最新发展；采用修辞学、社会学、科学研究或经济学方法来解决经济学方法论问题的研究；具有潜在方法论影响的经济学研究工具、仪器和技术的发展。尽管有些期刊包含有关特别感兴趣的主题的研讨会，但同行评审的研究文章构成了该期刊的核心。有些研讨会会填满整期，但也有一些小型研讨会由定期提交的内容组成。有些研讨会是由客座编辑组织的，有些是由编辑团队成员组织的。该杂志设有书评编辑和定期书评部分。除了对经济方法论和相关主题的书籍进行评论之外，该杂志还针对该领域特别重要的书籍发表书评研讨会。
