Call for Article Submissions: Choices Themes, Opinion, and Single Articles

The Agricultural & Applied Economics Association (AAEA) welcomes proposals for themes, and opinion and individual articles to be published in Choices Magazine. Choices, a free, online-only publication, is the principal outreach vehicle of AAEA. Choices articles broadly communicate the results of quality economic analysis applied to issues and challenges faced by public and private sector decision makers in ways that enhance public understanding of and appreciation for the work of agricultural economists. While Choices articles are based on economic concepts, the information should be presented in the context of a policy issue without using economic jargon. Articles must be written so they are easily understood by a general-interest audience. Choices editors are looking for three types of submissions: Proposals for thematic groupings of papers,  Individual articles on any food, farm, resource or rural community issue, and Opinion articles. All manuscripts are subject to peer review for publication consideration. Theme groupings of papers allow for in-depth coverage of important topics and showcase the different perspectives of agricultural economics analyses. To submit a proposal for theme-based articles, please complete the Theme Proposal submission form.  Submitted articles must be prepared according to the Manuscript Style Guidelines. Single articles provide an opportunity to address timely and important relevant issues or to present new aspects of established issues. Please complete the Individual Article submission form and follow the guidelines for preparing articles for the review process. Submitted articles must be prepared according to the Manuscript Style Guidelines. Opinion articles are appropriate when an author would like to share a personal interpretation of an issue or view of a timely and important topic based on sound economics and logic. Opinion articles will be reviewed and published at the discretion of the editor and can vary from 2-12 pages. Please complete the Opinion Article submission form and follow the guidelines for preparing articles for the review process. Submitted articles must be prepared according to the Manuscript Style Guidelines. Submissions may occur any time. Reviewed and accepted Choices material is compiled into quarterly issues. Subscribers and AAEA members are notified of new material through email announcements and social media postings. If you have any questions about submitting to Choices Magazine, please contact the editors: Kynda Curtis at kynda.curtis@usu.edu and Alison Davis at Alison.Davis@uky.edu.
