The Agricultural Production Economics Group at the Department of Food and Resource Economics of the University of Copenhagen recommends the following journals for publishing research within the field of agricultural production economics (grouped into four tiers). 

The following journals are usually considered to be the most prestigious ones (in alphabetical order):

  • Agricultural Economics
  • American Journal of Agricultural Economics (AJAE)
  • European Review of Agricultural Economics (ERAE)
  • Journal of Agricultural Economics (JAE)
  • Journal of Productivity Analysis (JPA)

The following journals usually have a slightly lower level/reputation in the field but are still very good journals (in alphabetical order):

The following journals usually have a significantly lower level/reputation in the field but are also reasonably good journals (in alphabetical order):

  • Agribusiness
  • Applied Economics
  • Applied Economics Letters
  • British Food Journal
  • Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics (CJAE)
  • Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics (JARE)
  • Land Use Policy

The following journals have a much lower reputation but may also be okay if the paper cannot be published in a journal in the first three groups (in alphabetical order; as far as we know, only JCP is indexed by ISI / Web of Science, and only ARER, IJSE, JCP, and QJIA are indexed by SCOPUS):

For papers analyzing specific topics or interdisciplinary work, also other journals could be suitable, e.g.:

  • Agricultural Systems 
  • Development Southern Africa (DSA)
  • Journal of African Economies
  • Journal of Applied Econometrics
  • Journal of Peasant Studies (JPS)
  • World Development

​Suggestions for adding further journals or changing the categories are highly welcome!
