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. Rammanohar Reddy, who resigned in January 2016^[5] only to controversially end in 2017 with Guha Thakurta also resigning.^[6]

Gopal Guru is currently at the Centre for Political Studies at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi,^[7] and is Editor-designate of the journal.^[8]^[9] The Sameeksha Trust board comprises eminent persons from academia and business, namely, Deepak Nayyar (chairman), D N Ghosh (Managing Trustee), Andre Beteille, Deepak Parekh, Romila Thapar, Rajeev Bhargava , Dipankar Gupta, and Shyam Menon.^[10]
