EuroChoices is a full colour, peer reviewed, outreach journal of topical European agri-food and rural resource issues, published three times a year in April, August and December. Its main aim is to bring current research and policy deliberations on agri-food and rural resource issues to a wide readership, both technical and non-technical. The need for this is clear – there are great changes afoot in the European and global agri-food industries and rural areas, which are of enormous impact and concern to society. The issues which underlie present deliberations in the policy and private sectors are complex and, until now, normally expressed in impenetrable technical language. Each issue of EuroChoices brings you in-depth, evidence-based arguments or research findings, normally with an economic underpinning, fully referenced and summarised in English, French and German. This means that you have instant, plain-language access to contemporary thinking and research, with all the technical details unobtrusively available. We want to make you party to – and a part of – the debate and decision-making process which guides and forms European and wider agri-food and rural resource policies and practices. To this end, we regularly invite distinguished authors and decision-makers to contribute to EuroChoices. You are invited to enter the debate by contributing a 'Main Article', 'Point de Vue', 'Counterpoint', 'Parlons Graphiques', or by simply writing a Letter to the Editor.

Sources count differently and were observed at different times, so each source's own value is kept; "publisher" marks figures from the journal's website.
Review & acceptance
Review time and acceptance
Review time from article dates manuscript dates registered with Crossref · to
Too few articlesOnly 1 articles from the last 24 months carry both submission and acceptance dates, too few for a median
Only articles that were accepted and published are counted, not the time spent on rejected manuscripts, so this usually runs longer than a publisher's "time to first decision".
