EDITING a journal

10/7/2019

In 2017 I was elected Editor for the New York State Economics Association. (NYSEA)

Why?

I did this because it represented a tremendous opportunity, and being elected also felt like an honor, despite the fact that I believe I ran uncontested.

It's hard to say no to things as a junior faculty member. The nature of junior faculty life is also such that you get ample time to scheme, and this can lead you down all sorts of rabbit holes.

The previous Editor, Bill O'Dea @ Oneonta, provided big shoes to fill.

That said, there were numerous opportunities to improve the visibility of the journal.

So far, I have done the following:
  1. Get the journal listed on EconLit, the indexing service of the American Economic Association
  2. Get the journal back on Cabell's Whitelist (paywall, sorry!)
  3. Make the journal entirely open access via CC-BY-NC-ND licensing. (I'm a big fan of open educational resources)

The Fall 2019 issue of the New York Economic Review​ is available by clicking here!

    This blog is a therapeutic outlet for me to write about life on the tenure track in economics.
