China Agricultural Economic Review published by Emerald Group Publishing was launched earlier this year and is already making an impact.
The journal is published in collaboration with the China Agricultural University and the Chinese Association for Agricultural Economics. The journal editor, Professor Xian Xin of the China Agricultural University, will be working alongside Professor Fu Qin, the general Secretary of the Chinese Association of Agricultural Economics (CAAE) who has been recently appointed Co-Editor of the journal.
China Agricultural Economic Review has received such positive feedback that an anonymous academic is working alongside Emerald to launch a best paper award. At the end of each journal volume the editorial committee will select the three best papers, awarding $3000 for the first prize and $1000 each for the second and third prize.
Professor Shida Henneberry an editorial board member for China Agricultural Economic Review, based at Oklahoma State University, comments: “Informative and timely –CAER is an excellent journal for applied research addressing current issues on food and agriculture in China and around the world.”
