Economics at a Glance

The publication process is simple:

1. Authors upload their submissions (see submit article).
2. The Associate Editors either accept the submissions for the economics discussion Paper Series, or reject (quick decision).
3. Referees and Registered Readers read and comment the paper (at most 8 weeks). 
4. The Associate Editors accept or reject the papers for publication as articles in economics. 
5. Registered Readers continue to read and comment the published articles. Furthermore they are asked to rate the articles in economics on a scale of one to five. 
6. In a later stage: The numbers of ratings, downloads and citations determine whether the articles enter the one-star (*), two-star (**) or three-star (***) series of economics. Prizes for the most outstanding papers in special fields are awarded.
