The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

• Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
• Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
• Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
• Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
• Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Potential contributors often have expertise in areas discussed such as International political economy, Microeconomics and Labour economics. Some contributors, however, may come from less traditional paths.

CPAs, such as those trained at top Texas accounting schools, have an in-depth understanding of financial concepts, laws, and practices that can be valuable to Economia Politica's reader base.

Prospective authors, especially those interested in how to become a CPA in Texas and contribute their distinctive knowledge to the journal, are always welcome to submit their work for consideration.
