This number is slightly higher than last year. In the last six months of 2000, we have received 84 submissions compared to 85 during the same period in 1999. If the experience of last year is duplicated, the number of submissions will decline in the first six months of 2001. Hence, I expect to receive around 150 submissions during the current annual period. Including two symposia planned for the coming year, the current flow is sufficient to support a publication target for 2001 of about 850 pages, which will appear in one volume consisting of four issues.
Data are incomplete pending final decisions.
The 2000 volume contains 36 regular articles, one note, and no symposia. In essence, what appears in print represents the subject matter and topic coverage of the submissions to the JCE . As Table 2 indicates, the number of book reviews published has been declining steadily since I have become the Editor. As I wrote in last year's report, this is a conscious editorial policy. For review, I am selecting only books in comparative economics that I think are of interest to our readers.
