The Review is a bimonthly economics journal published by the Research Division of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. It has been published in its current form continuously since the 1960s and is free of charge. The issues are printed and mailed to approximately 16,000 subscribers, and our website contains the latest issue and a searchable archive of past issues.

The Review offers a wide range of content: Some articles are accessible enough for the undergraduate, whereas others are highly technical analyses aimed at the PhD economist.

Submissions:

The content of the Review is produced primarily by economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. However, submissions are also open to all economists affiliated with the Federal Reserve System, which includes the 12 regional Reserve Banks and the Board of Governors.

All manuscripts submitted to the Review go through our standard peer-review process—that is, they are read and critiqued by two referees and the editor-in-chief. Accepted papers are then copyedited and processed for publication. Authors approve or amend all substantive edits and have the opportunity to review page proofs before publication.

It is expected that all authors published in the Review will serve as referee for two submitted papers.

One of the benefits of the Review is its quick publication schedule. Delays between acceptance and publication are rare. Papers accepted in January, for example, could easily be published in the May/June issue, which is posted online on May 1. In turn, authors are expected to be as timely as possible in response to copyeditor queries and page proof review.

Guidelines:

We prefer to receive MS Word files, but we can translate papers submitted in Scientific Workplace, LaTeX, etc. and then thoroughly cross-check them to ensure the accuracy of the text and equations.

We prefer to receive figures submitted as Excel or postscript files, but almost any original figure file can be accommodated. (Figures embedded in Word, PDF files, or PowerPoint slides seldom work well.)

There are no restrictions on the length of submitted papers; we leave that to the author’s good judgment. There are also no restrictions on the topic, and the usual disclaimers apply: “The views expressed in this article are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Reserve System, the Board of Governors, or the regional Federal Reserve Banks...”

Work submitted to the Review may not be simultaneously submitted to other publications. Work published in the Review may be reprinted with the proper citation and copyright notice.
