The Economic and Political Weekly (EPW) is a weekly peer-reviewed academic journal covering all social sciences, and is published by the Sameeksha Trust.[1] In January 2018, academic Gopal Guru was named the new Editor of the journal.[2] Guru will be Editor for a period of five years. The previous full-time editor was Paranjoy Guha Thakurta.[3] The Trust had earlier appointed Guha Thakurta as the new editor of the journal with effect from 1 April 2016.[4] His appointment came at a time when many social scientists were opposing the supposed removal of the previous editor C.
