The Atlantic Economic Journal enjoys international reputation for its excellent articles in all relevant fields, regardless of field or methodological preferences. It was founded by the International Atlantic Economic Society in 1973 with the aim of strengthening exchanges between scholars from different countries. The magazine has been searching for articles that can track some of the most critical economic changes and developments happening globally. The goal of this journal is to promote and synthesize economic research from various countries to encourage mutual exchange of ideas and academic research. The contributors include some of the world's most respected economists and financial experts, including Nobel laureates and key government officials.

The magazine welcomes theoretical and empirical articles as well as public policy papers. All manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer review process. In addition to formally publishing full-text articles, the magazine also provides opportunities for informal communication through its anthology section. A small point may not be worth a complete formal paper, but it is important enough to be disseminated to other researchers. The ongoing research may be of interest to other scholars in the field. It is necessary to share research methods that end in negative outcomes to avoid others falling into similar traps. The establishment of the anthology section is to promote these forms of communication.
