Submit your research for coverage in The Economist

Sat, 11 Dec 2021 14:49:00 GMT

We are looking for exciting and important new studies. The Economist’s data team is looking for excellent research to cover in our Graphic Detail section, both online and in our print edition. One of our data-journalism team’s goals is to keep our global audience apprised of exciting and important new studies. If that sounds like your work, please send it to us.

We are principally interested in papers that are “new” in the sense of being:

just published or forthcoming in a peer-reviewed journal of good standing;
conditionally accepted or under review in a peer-reviewed journal of good standing, or;
recently written/extensively revised working papers of excellent quality.

We welcome papers on any topic. However, we are particularly interested in those that have implications for public policy or private industry; use novel methodology; rely on datasets that are new or have not previously been analysed; or relate to topics in the news or likely to be newsworthy soon. We also place a premium on research that can be illustrated graphically (with charts, maps or diagrams), or data that lend themselves to a strong visual treatment.
