Editorial Note

Abstract

Since the beginning of 2022, Applied Economics Journal (AEJ) has undergone some changes relating to the editorial team, the online system, the front cover, and the content of editorial note. I would like to note these changes in this first issue of the year. First, AEJ has welcomed two new board editors, Professor Hermann Waibel from Leibniz University Hannover, Germany, and Professor Selahattin Dibooglu from the University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Second, we have welcomed Dr. Hongsilp Sriket from the Department of Economics, Kasetsart University as our new associate editor. The expertise and publications of our editorial team can be seen by clicking on the names of editors on our website. Third, our journal management system named ‘ThaiJo’ has been updated and since February 2022 we have been using the new system in which all users must reset their passwords when they first log into the system. More information and instructions can be found on our Facebook page. Fourth, our front cover has been changed to an orange color theme (which is the signature color of our faculty) highlighting the volume and issue numbers with a bigger font size. Fifth, this Editorial Note will be used to keep our audience informed of new announcements and relevant changes. It is no longer written based on themed content with articles of similar topics and areas because most of our published articles cover a wide range of issues in applied economics. This allows the journal to publish up-to-date empirical evidence and increases the chance of new articles being cited. There is also no summary of all published articles as summaries can be read more clearly from the Abstract of each article. For more information on our journal, please visit our website, and in particular, if you plan to submit an article, please kindly read and follow the author guidelines on the ‘Submissions’ page. All articles shall be submitted online via our website. If you have any queries or suggestions, please feel free to contact the Chief Editor, Dr. Waleerat Suphannachart, at aej.journal@gmail.com.
