Applied Economics Teaching Resources (AETR) is an online, open-access, peer reviewed journal. The journal provides an inclusive outlet for research, teaching, and Extension education scholarship encompassing but not limited to research articles, case studies, classroom games, commentaries, experiential learning, and pedagogy. The goal is to support and advance teaching and Extension education within the scholarly areas of agricultural and applied economics and agribusiness economics and management. AETR seeks to publish articles that are diverse in both scope and authorship. It serves as a platform for addressing and contributing to our understanding of important societal issues, including inequality and discrimination, as well as how shifts in pedagogy (e.g., growing reliance on remote and hybrid learning modalities) may impact accessibility and inclusion.
The journal is online and open-access. All articles are archived through AgEcon Search. All submissions are double-blind peer reviewed and held to the high standards exhibited in the agricultural and applied economics profession. The scope of the journal extends to teaching and education contributions and materials for undergraduate and graduate education as well as Extension and adult education. AETR seeks the following types of contributions:
- Case studies in all areas of applied and agricultural economics and agribusiness economics and management for use in the classroom and for Extension education
- Teaching and Extension education scholarship and research
- Classroom and field educational innovations (e.g., classroom games, online teaching tools, Extension applications, decision aids, experiential learning activities, and other interactive learning innovations)
- Teaching and education commentaries (e.g., notes on pedagogy, evaluations of teaching effectiveness, curriculum development, and educational methodology)
The journal has two managing editors and an editorial board consisting of six AAEA members from the AAEA sections in Agribusiness Economics and Management (AEM); Teaching, Learning, and Communications (TLC); Extension Section (EXT); and at large. The journal and any supplementary materials are distributed through the AETR web page and AgEcon Search. Authors will be able to track impacts through both anonymous, open-access downloads on AgEconSearch and controlled access to instructor downloads of teaching notes and supplementary materials, which are reported to authors at the end of each calendar year.
1 Submissions to AETR
Thank you for choosing to submit your manuscript to AETR. Following the instructions below will ensure that we have everything required for consideration, so your manuscript can move through the peer review in a timely process. Please take the time to read through the instructions before submitting your manuscript. For the initial submission of a manuscript, we are more relaxed on the formatting of the manuscript, but a submission should include at least a cover letter, title page, and manuscript. Supplementary materials and teaching notes should be submitted as separate documents. Subsequent submission will require that the manuscript be formatted per the additional guidelines outlined below and following the author checklist.
1.1 Guidelines and Review Process
All submissions receive a double-blind peer review assigned by the Editor. The Editor will review the submission, obtain external peer reviews, evaluate the external reviews, make a decision on the suitability of the manuscript, and work with the author(s) during the submission process. Each submission will be evaluated by at least two peer reviewers.
Reviewers are asked to be specific about their evaluations of manuscripts and to provide comments and suggestions for improving manuscripts. We ask that reviewers provide an overview of the article, answers to the questions asked below, as well as general and specific comments they have about the manuscript. Reviewers will submit their reviews through the journal submission system, which can be found at: https://aetr.expressacademic.org/login.php or using the links in the review request email sent to them from AETR. If a reviewer is unable to access or submit through the submission system, then can directly email their review to the editor at aetr.editor@gmail.com.
Reviewers will address the following questions in addition to a thorough critique of the manuscript:
- Is the problem, issue, or question clearly stated?
- Is the problem of interest to AETR readers?
- Are the objectives clearly stated?
- Are the methodologies or practices appropriate and adequately described?
- Is the manuscript well structured?
- Is the manuscript well written from a technical editing perspective?
Reviewers are asked to provide one of the following recommendations:
- Accept with no revision
- Conditionally accept with minor revision
- Resubmit with minor revision
- Resubmit with major revision
- Unacceptable for AETR readers
We expect all reviewers to follow the ethical guidelines for peer reviewers laid out by COPE. Manuscripts should not be submitted to any generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or similar platform (e.g. large language models). In addition, review in whole or in part should not be completed using any generative AI or similar platform. Accordingly, we require all peer reviewers to maintain the confidentiality of peer review and peer reviewer comments and not reveal any details of a manuscript or communications related to it. Not following these guidelines could infringe on authors’ rights of confidentiality, privacy and copyright. If generative AI or similar platforms are used to improve a review of a manuscript, then this must be fully disclosed in the written review and to the editors.
Authors are required to respond to reviewers’ and the Editor’s evaluations and their concerns or inquiries, noting where changes were made in the manuscript (using page, paragraph, and line numbers, where applicable). A tracked version of edits and changes should also be submitted. If no change is made, a rationale for not changing the text or analysis needs to be provided to the reviewers and Editor. When resubmitting a manuscript, authors should submit through the AETR online submission system or https://www.aetrjournal.org/contribute/submit-a-manuscript.
1.2 Submission Types
Types of articles pertaining to agricultural and applied economics, agribusiness economics and management, and Extension education that will be accepted include research articles, teaching and educational methods, extension education, case studies, teaching and education commentaries, and themed or featured articles.
Any research or submissions involving human subjects will require appropriate documentation of IRB or similar approval, as outlined in Section 2. Additional approvals or verifications may be requested based on the manuscript submitted, including details about informed consent and compliance with FERPA.
1.2.1 Research Article
AETR accepts submissions that are research-based and advance our scholarly knowledge of best practices and learning in an education or Extension setting. Manuscripts must be original theoretical, empirical, or case study efforts. Submissions should be logically structured and have robust methodology containing references, figures, tables, and/or graphs.
1.2.2 Teaching and Educational Methods
AETR accepts submissions for teaching and educational methods that enhance or improve participants’ educational experience. Methods should be related to classroom teaching and educational innovations in one or more teaching modalities (e.g., in-person, remote, synchronous, asynchronous). Examples of methods include new classroom games, online teaching tools, new hardware, remote learning approaches, hybrid learning tools and methods, experiential learning activities, and curriculum development. Prior to submission of a teaching or educational method, it should be classroom trialed. Authors must provide documentation and comment on trial experiences. The manuscript should have a discussion section on practical application of the method. Methods submissions may require pertinent materials (e.g., worksheets, computer programs, or in-class directions) and teaching notes (highly encouraged, see Section 1.3) that pertain to implementation and assessment of the methods being examined. In addition, any other supplementary materials authors want to include with their submissions are highly encouraged.
All teaching notes and supplementary material will be made available through the journal web page. However, authors will have the option to make these materials available by request only and accessible only by instructors and related professionals (see Section 1.2.7). In this case, materials will be made available directly through the AETR web page.
1.2.3 Extension Education
AETR accepts submissions for Extension educational methods. Methods should be related to information dissemination, presentation, or educational innovations in the field that enhance or improve participants’ Extension educational experience. Examples of methods include Extension applications, decision aids, online teaching tools, new software applications (e.g., learning games), and programmatic development opportunities. Prior to submission of an Extension educational method, it should be field and/or classroom trialed. Authors must provide documentation and comment on trial experiences.
The manuscript should include a discussion section on practical application of the method. Methods submissions may require pertinent materials (e.g., worksheets, computer programs, or in-class directions) and teaching notes (see Section 1.3) that pertain to implementation and assessment of the methods being examined.
All teaching notes and supplementary material will be made available through the journal web page. However, authors will have the option to make these materials available by request only and accessible only by instructors and related professionals (see Section 1.2.7). In this case, materials will be made available directly through the AETR web page.
1.2.4 Case Studies
AETR accepts case study submissions. The case study should be written for educational purposes, which addresses a decision-making problem and includes specific learning objectives and discussion questions. Teaching notes (see Section 1.3) are required at the time of submission. An accompanying teaching video (i.e., highlighting the importance of the case study by the authors) is encouraged. All teaching notes, videos, and supplementary material will be available through the journal web page.
Authors will have the option to make these materials available by request only and accessible only by instructors and related professionals (see Section 1.2.7). In this case, materials will be made available directly through the AETR web page. All case studies are reviewed by scholars experienced in either writing and/or using case studies. We highly encourage the testing of the case study in an educational setting prior to submission. Additional comments and documentation of the trial implementation may be incorporated into the teaching note. If actual names of individuals or organizations are used in a case study, the individuals or organizations should consider obtaining permission for use of names and any identifying information about individuals or organizations, making them also aware of the publication’s copyright agreement. The editor may ask for documentation about this based on the nature of the cases study and public availability of information. Authors are also responsible for assuring that any needed human subjects approvals are obtained.
1.2.5 Teaching and Education Commentaries
ATER accepts submissions for teaching and educational commentaries, which can include notes or short commentaries on pedagogy, practices in teaching, academics, evaluations of teaching effectiveness, educational methodology, curriculum development, Extension programming efforts and reviews of methods. In addition, we accept submissions of commentaries on reviews and evaluations of agricultural and applied economics textbooks for use in the classroom. We encourage the submission of commentaries on open-access textbooks and similar materials. Commentaries are limited to 2000 words (excluding references). Commentaries will be primarily reviewed by members of the Editorial Board, but external reviewers may be asked to review a submission when it is deemed appropriate by the Editor. Submissions that provide reviews and content overviews on substantive issues, new ideas, and meta-analyses will also be considered and not restricted to the 2000-word count.
1.2.6 Themed Sections or Feature Articles
AETR will accept and invite authors to submit feature articles and themed sections that contain multiple articles on a featured topic. Authors may propose a featured article or themed section for an issue by emailing a proposal to the managing editor at aetr.editor@gmail.com. Proposals for feature articles should include an extended abstract of no more than 1 page motivating the article, stating the purpose of the article, and indicating the significance of potential findings or discussion for the profession. Proposals for a themed section or special issue should submit a two-page proposal indicating the theme of the proposed section or central issue of the special issue; motivation and significance for the profession as well as indicating the titles and authors for the proposed manuscripts. All manuscripts for feature articles, themed sections, and special issues will go through the regular review process.
1.2.7 Online Teaching Database
AETR welcomes submissions of teaching notes, instructional materials, active learning exercises, classroom games, and case studies to be posted online for open access. Authors may feel that such materials are too interactive or may not be conducive to a traditional article type submission. The online teaching database provides a place for open access of these materials. Authors will have the option to password protect these materials, making them accessible only by instructors and related professionals.
Materials submitted for the online teaching database will be peer reviewed. All submissions must include a statement discussing the teaching, educational material, or innovation being submitted. The statement must describe the submitted material and its significance for advancing teaching and educational methods. The note must not be longer than 500 words in length. If a website is linked to the material being submitted, be sure to include this within the note.
Authors submitting materials for the online teaching database agree to ensure that material remains relevant and is updated. The Editor will notify authors if material is linked to other websites and/or has not been updated. In the case that the website is no longer accessible or the material is out of date, the Editor will remove the material from the online database.
1.3 Teaching Notes
When teaching notes are required or submitted with other submissions, the notes should include the following:
- Statement of Purpose and Objectives: Identify the specific purpose and learning outcomes for the activity, tool, or case. What are the specific learning objectives and main topics to be considered?
- Intended Audience: Identify the target audience for the activity, tool, or case (e.g., undergraduate, and/or professional).
- Teaching Strategy Statement: Provide details about the key concepts or processes examined by the activity, tool, or case; suggested strategies for presentation and use; discussion questions and strategies; assessment tools; and use of any possible audiovisual/online/computer resources. In this section, identify any references or support material, which could be used to further maximize the benefit and use of the activity, tool, or case.
- Activity Statement: If applicable, provide a detailed outline of how the activity, tool, or case should be used in an instructional setting. Create a list of questions and assignments, which could be presented along with the activity, tool, or case; along with an outline of the key answer points.

- Other Supplementary Material: Provide any other pertinent information for users of the activity, tool, or case.
1.4 Submission Conditions
AETR will not consider submissions and online resources in the teaching database that have been published previously or submitted elsewhere simultaneously. Authors are responsible for obtaining permissions from the copyright owner for any quotations, illustrations, or tables.
For ensuring academic and research integrity, all submissions will undergo an originality check for content using Turnitin (https://www.turnitin.com/). If a submitted manuscript is determined to involve plagiarism, it will not be considered for publication or authors will be required to remove plagiarized content. The Editor may document and report these allegations to the appropriate officials of the authors’ home institution.
1.5 Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Similar Tools
In general, AETR will follow the responsible use of AI laid out by Wiley. This should be reviewed and can be found at: https://www.wiley.com/en-us/publish/book/resources/ai-guidelines/.
Authors should document all use of generative AI and similar tools, including the purpose for the use; how it impacted finding, conclusions, and/or methods; and how authors personally reviewed and verified that content generated by AI or similar tools. Use of AI and similar tools must be disclosed when submitting to the manuscript at initial submission with a statement summarizing all uses of generative AI and similar tools on the title page and in the cover letter. A more in-depth assessment may be requested by the Editors.
1.6 Submissions by the Editor or Editorial Board Members
To ensure the absolute integrity of the AETR review process, AETR implements the following two measures to handle submissions listing either the Editor or Editorial Board Member as author(s):
- A past Editor or an Editorial Board Member will serve as the Guest Editor of any research manuscript submitted that lists the Editor as an author.
- Editorial Board Member(s) listed as author(s) on a submission will not participate in any deliberations concerning the submission.
2 Manuscript Submission
Submissions are managed by the AETR FastTrack Submission System: https://aetr.expressacademic.org/login.php or https://www.aetrjournal.org/contribute/submit-a-manuscript. Please follow the online instructions for submission.
Submissions should include (1) a cover letter, (2) a separate title page, and (3) an anonymized copy of the submission for peer review. When submitting these documents during the initial submission, only one link for a combined document file is provided. Authors can either submit a zipped document or folder that contains all needed documents or only submit the anonymized manuscript. After the initial submission is complete, additional documents can then be uploaded. If issues arise when uploading necessary documents, please reference the manuscript submission number and email these documents directly to aetr.editor@gmail.com.
The cover letter should indicate (1) objective and significance of the submission; (2) a statement that the material in the submission is original, not published elsewhere, and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere; and (3) disclosures of any conflicts of interest.
Human Subjects Research: Indicate in the cover letter that the research, if applicable, adheres to pertinent policies and regulations at the federal, state, and university level for data involving human subjects, youth, and at-risk groups. Human subjects data include survey data, interview data, academic data, grades, and student comments. Authors must indicate that they have received approval from all appropriate Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) or equivalent institutional oversight authorities. In addition, authors must provide an IRB or similar approval number and letter if applicable. AETR will not publish results involving deception of human subjects. The Editor may grant an exception if a well-documented justification is provided.
FERPA: Research involving student data (e.g., grades) that are protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) must abide by federal, state, and university policies regarding such data. Authors must indicate in their cover letter if data is protected under FERPA and that they have received proper authorizations and/or informed consent for use of these data. Any documentation that supports such authorization or informed consent (e.g., approval letter or informed consent document) should be included with the submission.
Generative AI or similar tools: Use of AI and similar tools must be disclosed when submitting to the manuscript at initial submission with a statement summarizing all uses of generative AI and similar tools on the title page and in the cover letter. A more in-depth assessment may be requested by the Editors.
Statement of Inclusivity: AETR highly encourages the use of inclusive language to acknowledge diversity, convey respect to all people, be aware of differences, and promote equal opportunities. Content of submissions should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader; contain nothing which might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability, or health condition; and try to use inclusive language throughout the manuscript. Authors should ensure that writing is free from bias, stereotypes, slang, reference to dominant culture, and/or cultural assumptions. We advise authors to use neutral plural nouns (e.g., faculty, instructors, professionals, students) as default/wherever possible instead of using he, she, or he/she. Use of “they” as a singular neutral pronoun is acceptable.
2.1 Formatting Instructions
For initial submissions, include line and page numbers in the manuscript. Otherwise, authors may use their preferred formatting, with the following guidelines provided as suggestions. If accepted, the final version of the manuscript must conform to the formatting requirements and the AETR author checklist.
2.1.1 File Format
New submissions are accepted as either PDFs or Microsoft Word files. Resubmitted manuscripts must be submitted as Word files.
2.1.2 Title Page
In the online submission process, a separate title page must be attached. The title page should include: (1) full title; (2) author(s) full names, positions and affiliations; (3) corresponding author’s name, address, phone number, and email address; (4) any acknowledgments; and (5) if applicable, a disclosure statement about use of any generative AI or similar tools (see Section 1.5). Acknowledgments should include information about human subjects approval, conflicts of interest, and financial support for the research conducted. A human subjects approval statement should indicate the entity (e.g., office, IRB) providing review and approval, university name, and application/project number. Financial support should explicitly indicate the funding agency, grant (or proposal) title, and award number.
2.1.3 Submission Preparation
First Page: On the first page include (1) the full title; (2) an abstract not exceeding 200 words; (3) a list of no more than six keywords; and (4) up to six JEL codes. The keywords should be placed after the abstract, listed alphabetically, lowercase except for proper nouns, and separated by commas.
For blind review, author(s) are not to be identified on the first page or in any footers or headers.
Formatting: Submissions are to be double-spaced (including footnotes). Use 1-inch margins and 12-point Times New Roman or a similar font in an 8.5" by 11" document. Use appendices for supplementary text, tables, and figures to keep the manuscript concise. Supplementary materials of accepted submissions will be posted online.
Headings: Provide short headings for each section and subsection. Ensure that at least one sentence of text occurs between any two headings. (In particular, a section heading should be followed by at least some text preceding any subsection heading.) All headings and subheadings should be left-aligned. Do not indent the first paragraph after a heading. Primary headings should be bolded.
Number headings in the following manner: Use whole numbers for main headings (e.g., 1 Introduction, 2 Background, and 3 Data); use one decimal for second-level subheadings (e.g., 3.1 Survey Methods); use a two decimals for third-level subheadings (e.g., 3.1.1 Choice Experiment). Do not go beyond third-level subheadings.
General Style: Follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition, by the University of Chicago Press, 2025. Spell out the word “percent” in the text instead of using the “%” sign.
Mathematical Notation: Use only essential mathematical notation. Equations are numbered and appear in the correct location in the submission. All equations should be centered, and the equation number should be placed in parentheses and right-justified. Use a standard formula editor or the formula editor in Word (preferred). Do not use text boxes containing equations formatted in a different program. Do not use tables to format equations. Leave a single blank line before and after an equation. Simplify notation to aid in readers’ understanding.
Tables and Figures: All tables and figures should contain sufficient information to enable self-explanation. Place all tables and figures as they are to appear in the submission. They can be single-spaced but must have a minimum font size of 12. Large tables can be presented as supplementary material. Each table/figure must be referred in the text and have a title. Align tables/figures left with no text wrapping.
Tables are to contain no vertical lines, shading, or patterns; gridlines should be hidden. Color fonts that contrast well against a white background are acceptable. Vertical alignment of cells in tables should be centered and, if containing decimals, decimal aligned. Leave at least one blank line before and after a table. Use lowercase English letters to attach footnotes to specific items within a table and place the footnotes below the bottom line of the table in (unindented) paragraph form. For general explanatory notes, use the heading “Notes: … .” The “Notes:” paragraph must define the use of asterisks (e.g., * or **) to denote statistical significance levels if used in the table.
Authors are encouraged to create colored figures. Authors should think about how their image will look when printed in black and white. Think about using different line types and shading to differentiate aspects of the figure when needed, as well. Each figure should have a descriptive title. All text within a figure or image must be Cambria, not bold or italic. Axis titles are 12-point font, sentence case. Axis labels are 10-point font, lowercase. Legends are either 10- or 12-point font, whichever works better. Figure background should be white, and the figure should not have a border. In addition to the figures embedded in the document, figures should be supplied as high-quality image files at least 300 dpi (.png, .pdf, or .jpg). Do not place figure titles or captions within the figure image. General explanatory notes: Use the heading “Notes:” and continue on the same line with the first word of the note, in paragraph form. If it is necessary to cite a source for a figure, use the heading “Source:” and continue on the same line with the first word of the note. It is not necessary to cite “authors’ calculations” (or similar) as a source.
Data and Documentation: Data sources should be clearly indicated in the submission and made available for replication purposes if so desired by the Editor, reviewers, and/or readers.
Citations and References: All citations should appear in the text and contain author name(s) and year. Text citations should omit any comma or other punctuation between the author name(s) and year of publication (Davis 1999) but include a comma if a page number is used (Davis 1999, p. 8). If the author name(s) is used as part of a sentence, include the year parenthetically (e.g., Davis and Smith (2010)). Use et al. for three or more authors. For text citations listing more than one source, separate sources with a semicolon: (Davis 1999; Davis and Smith 2010; Doe et al. 2017) and order them first chronologically and then alphabetically.
Place references, alphabetized by author, in a list at the end of the submission. Single-space references with no blank lines between them. Use hanging indents. Provide issue number whenever possible and always for journals that do not number pages sequentially through complete volumes. Only works cited in the manuscript may be included in the reference list. Always include DOIs where available. Do not use et al. in the reference section: all authors must be cited
For reference style, see the AETR Reference guidelines.
3 Publication
AETR is published online. An e-mail will be sent to confirm the completion of the review process and acceptance of the submission. The final accepted version of the manuscript should be submitted as a Microsoft Word document. Once accepted for publication, the manuscript cannot be substantially modified, including changes in authorship. Minor corrections are allowed but cannot replace any original text. Changes and revisions of a more substantial nature will result in a new submission and peer review process. Once a manuscript is accepted, authors must sign the AETR publication license form (see Section 3.2) and provide the AETR with the final version of the manuscript that fully adheres to the AETR author checklist. The corresponding author will receive page proofs for final inspection before publication and is responsible for the accuracy of the proofs.
3.1 Publication Costs
