Editorial Note

Abstract

The African Journal of Economics Review (AJER) was launched in 2013 with aims to encourage and facilitate economic research and development relevant to Africa. The Journal is most widely read and accessed in the field of economic issues related to Africa. REPEC and Google Scholar have both included the journal in their indexes. All manuscripts submitted to the journal are subjected to peer-review. The authors and reviewers' identities are kept hidden from each other in the AJER peer review procedure. From submission of manuscript to final decision, the editorial team, which consists of a Chief Editor and assistant editors, is active in the entire article cycle.

Overall, the journal's future looks promising, and we now publish at least four issues per year as a result of the large number of manuscripts received. The African Journal of Economic Review has now published nearly 234 peer-reviewed articles. This provides a great pleasure to see academic scholars from all over Africa and beyond contributing to existing economic theory and relevant literature in the African context. To date, all articles published come from Nigeria; Chad; Zambia; Lesotho; Tanzania; Togo; Uganda; Ethiopia; Democratic Republic of Congo; Tunisia; Mali; Zimbabwe; Sudan; Cameroon; Mali; Namibia; Rwanda; Kenya; India; Liberia and Botswana. We encourage authors from other African countries and across the world to submit high-quality manuscripts to the journal. Over the last ten years, the journal has been the most cited and mentioned in other articles. Last but not least, we would like to thank all of our authors, reviewers, publishers, editorial board and readers for their contributions over the years. In 2022, we hope to continue receiving high-quality manuscripts for the African Journal of Economic Review (AJER).
