Aims and Scope
The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between "nature's household" (ecosystems) and "humanity's household" (the economy). Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership.

Specific research areas covered include: valuation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture and development, ecologically integrated technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales from local to regional to global, implications of thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource management and conservation, critical assessments of the basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions, economic and ecological consequences of genetically engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and management, alternative principles for valuing natural wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental services into national income and wealth accounts, methods of implementing efficient environmental policies, case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony, etc. New issues in this area are rapidly emerging and will find a ready forum in Ecological Economics.

Already hired, sharing my submission experience with fellow classmates. Submitted in October 2020, took about half a month for editor's review, received major revision decision after six months under review, given two months for revisions. However, due to being busy with other matters, completed the revisions after four months and remained under review for another two months before being accepted. Overall, the reviewers were very professional and their suggested revisions greatly improved the quality of the article. The review process was neither fast nor slow, but moderate. As a reputable journal in ecological economics, I am very pleased to have my article published in it. I hope this information is helpful to everyone and fingers crossed for future submissions to prestigious journals like Nature, haha!

This magazine is quite good in our field. We submitted a manuscript for review over a month ago, but unfortunately, the result was tragic. They provided suggestions, but we actually thought it was possible to make modifications. However, we were not given the opportunity to do so. It feels like the requirements for innovation in terms of the article's methodology and theme are quite high. We will continue to submit in the future if given the chance! With determination, success can be achieved. Good luck to all my brothers.
