# The Econometrics Journal (the-econometrics-journal)
## Journal positioning
The Econometrics Journal is the Royal Economic Society's econometrics journal, with a European base, publishing econometric theory and methods. It covers new estimators, inference procedures, and theoretical results, as well as substantial methodological contributions, typically technical in nature. What wins here is a genuine econometric advance — a new method with established properties, or a theoretical result that improves how empirical work is done. The readership is econometricians and methodologically oriented empirical economists.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the RES / Oxford University Press site and the submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names The Econometrics Journal (EctJ) as the target venue.
- An econometric-methods paper has a new estimator / test / inference result and the author is choosing among econometrics venues.
- A technical methods contribution from applied work needs re-framing as a standalone econometric advance.
- The author needs EctJ's desk-reject risks and a credible econometrics alternative list.
