The Editorial Advisory Board Policy for Journals

The Editorial Advisory Board (EAB) of The AgEcon Frontiers brings together distinguished experts who guide and support the journal’s growth, visibility, and impact. While Advisory Board members do not handle manuscripts directly, they play a vital role in strengthening the journal through their expertise, networks, and strategic input.

Roles and Contributions

Members of the Editorial Advisory Board contribute by:

  • Supporting the peer review process, either by reviewing manuscripts or recommending qualified reviewers.

  • Identifying emerging themes and proposing topics for special issues (with the possibility of serving as guest editors).

  • Promoting the journal within their academic and professional networks.

  • Encouraging high-quality submissions from leading researchers and practitioners.

Appointment of Members

Members of the Editorial Advisory Board are appointed by the journal’s Publisher and/or society partner, in consultation with the Editor(s). The Board is refreshed on a rotating basis, typically every two to three years. Members may be invited to serve additional terms, while others may step down or join mid-cycle depending on availability and expertise.

Diversity and Expertise

The success of The AgEcon Frontiers depends on an Editorial Advisory Board that reflects both the geographical diversity of its authors and readership and the breadth of expertise across the journal’s scope. We seek to ensure balanced representation across regions, disciplines, and areas of specialization in agricultural economics and related fields.

Expressions of Interest

Although most members are invited to join, we also welcome expressions of interest from those eager to contribute to the respective journal's mission. If you are interested in serving on the Editorial Advisory Board, please contact the Editor via the relevant Journal's page or contact at journals@ageconfrontiers.com. We value enthusiasm and commitment to advancing scholarship in agricultural economics and policy.
