e-JEMED
The Electronic Journal of Evolutionary Modeling and Economic Dynamics  is a noncommercial scientific journal.

The main objective of e-JEMED is to foster the communication of ideas in the very active area of evolutionary modeling. As such, it does not compete with paper-based journals but complements them:

  • The publication process of e-JEMED is much quicker. An article can be published as soon as it is accepted. Each submitted article will be evaluated in ten weeks.
  • Each publication in e-JEMED can/should include a detailed version of all the appendixes that naturally complement an article based on simulations (at least the code and, more preferably, a working version of the program on the web).
  • The authors of the articles published in e-JEMED conserve their copyright and can submit the article to a paper-based journal.
