Prior to 2011, the journal was edited by the University of Southern Mississippi, and those issues are available to C2ER Members in the C2ER Member Area.

In 2011, the Council for Community and Economic Research (C2ER) took over the journal and it became an internet only publication. Those issues can be found at the following links:
