The electronic triannual Econ Journal Watch publishes Comments on articles appearing in economics journals and serves as a forum about economics research and the economics profession. EJW watches the journals for inappropriate assumptions, weak chains of argument, phony claims of relevance, and omissions of pertinent truths. Pointed, constructive criticism requires an independent forum and an accessible and timely medium. Other material including essays, reflections, investigations, and classic critiques speak to the nature and character of economics. EJW applies theories of failure‹market, government, organizational‹to the practices and institutions of economists. Themes include:

* the role of the economist in society
* whether scholarly economic research reaches policy conclusions
* in what ideas and evidence oomph really lies
* whether economists neglect institutional alternatives by failing to think beyond the status quo
