editorial staff
The current editors-in-chief are Richard B. Howarth and Stefan Baumgärtner . Since 2015, the magazine has had other specialist editors, including the economist Irene Ring , an editor for book reviews, three associate editors and a number of ordinary members of the editorial board.
reception
In 2014, the two-year impact factor was 2.720, while the five- year impact factor was stated as 3.929. With this, the journal was ranked 47th out of 145 scientific journals listed in the field of ecology and 59th out of 223 journals in the field of environmental sciences .
A study by economists Pierre-Phillippe Combes and Laurent Linnemer ranked the journal in the third-best category A, ranking 50th out of 600 economic journals.
The contents and management of the journal were controversial. Inge Røpke complained about the ousting of socio-ecological economists from the editorial board after Cutler Cleveland became editor-in-chief. Richard B. Howarth advocated a more inclusive approach when he took over the business in 2008. Clive Spash criticized the fact that as a result the previous focus had been lost and that even contributions that were close to the mainstream of neoclassical environmental economics were accepted for publication, and that the extensive discussions about heterodox economic approaches in ecological economics were ignored.
