Aims and Scope |
|
The Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics (AJARE) provides a forum for innovative and scholarly work in agricultural and resource economics. First published in 1997, the Journal succeeds the Australian Journal of Agricultural Economics and the Review of Marketing and Agricultural Economics, upholding the tradition of these long-established journals.
Accordingly, the editors are guided by the following objectives:
(1) To maintain a high standard of analytical rigour offering sufficient variety of content so as to appeal to a broad spectrum of both academic and professional economists and policymakers (2) In maintaining the tradition of its predecessor journals, to combine articles with policy reviews and surveys of key analytical issues in agricultural and resource economics. |

Instructions to Authors
Submission Guidelines
Conditions. Submission of a paper will be held to imply that (a) the material in the manuscript has not been published, is not being published or considered for publication elsewhere, and will not be submitted for publication elsewhere unless rejected by the journal editor or withdrawn by the author(s); (b) the material in the manuscript, so far as the author(s) knows, does not infringe upon other published material covered by copyright; (c) the author鈥檚 (s鈥) employer, if any, either does not assert an ownership interest in the manuscript or is willing to convey such interest to the American Agricultural Economics Association (AAEA); and (d) submission of the manuscript gives the AAEA exclusive right to publish, to copyright, and to allow or deny reproduction of it, in whole or in part. If the applicability of point (a) is unclear, the author(s) must provide an explanation in the cover letter.
Authors will be required to assign copyright in their paper to the American Agricultural Economics Association. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. (Papers subject to government or Crown copyright are exempt from this requirement). To assist authors an appropriate copyright assignment form will be supplied by the editorial office.
What and where to submit. For the initial submission, send four fully legible copies to: Ian Sheldon, AJAE, 103 Agricultural Administration, 2120 Fyffe Rd., The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210-1067. Subsequent editorial correspondence should be with the editor in charge of the manuscript. Model documentation and other supporting materials may be submitted with the manuscript to facilitate the review process. The AJAE does not ordinarily consider for publication manuscripts exceeding thirty double-spaced pages (everything included).
Authors鈥 identification. To protect their anonymity in the review process, authors should identify themselves only in the front page of the manuscript. The front page of the manuscript should include the following: (a) title; (b) author鈥檚 (s鈥) name(s); (c) name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the author serving as the contact person; (d) date of submission of the manuscript.
Text preparation. Double-space all material, including footnotes, tables, and references, on 81/2- by-11-inch standard-weight white paper with 11/4-inch margins. Use 12-point Times or a similar type style and size. The title of the manuscript should appear in the first page of the text, followed directly by the introductory section. Provide short headings for each section and subsection. Do not number sections and subsections.
Style. Follow A Manual of Style, 14th edition, by the University of Chicago Press and previous issues of AJAE.
Data and documentation. Authors are expected to document their data sources, models, and estimation procedures as thoroughly as possible and to make the data used available to others for replication purposes.
Mathematical notation. Use only essential mathematical notation. Avoid using the same character for both superscripts and subscripts or using capital letters for such, and whenever possible avoid overbars, tildes, carets, and other modifications of standard type. Asterisks, primes, and small English letter superscripts are suitable.
Footnotes. Number footnotes consecutively throughout the paper, not page by page. Type all footnotes, double-spaced, on a separate page following the article. Footnotes should be only explanatory and not for citations or for directing the reader to a particularwork. Such information can be incorporated into the text.
References and citations. Place 鈥淩eferences,鈥 alphabetized by author, in a list at the end of the paper. Only cited works may be included in the reference list and all citations should be referenced. Journal articles should include the author name (first name initials only), article title (in quotations), full journal name (italicized), volume number, year of publication, and page numbers. Journal names should not be abbreviated. An example is: Mahul, O. 鈥淥ptimal Insurance against Climatic Experience.鈥 American Journal of Agricultural Economics 83(2001):593鈥604. All citations should contain the author鈥檚 name, and the page number if necessary. Citations can be inserted parenthetically; e.g., (Mahul) or (Mahul, p. 600). Specify the date of publication only if the same author appears more than once in the reference list; e.g., (Mahul, 2001) or (Mahul, 2001, p. 600). If the author鈥檚 name appears as part of a sentence, a parenthetical reference is unnecessary unless page numbers or a date is needed. Use 鈥渆t al.鈥 in citations only with four or more authors. Do not use et al. in the reference section. For more information refer to the reference/citation sheet which is available upon request.
Tables and figures. Place each table and each figure on a separate page at the end of the manuscript; double-space all material; omit vertical rules in tables. Each table and each figure must have a title.
Page charge. Major support for this journal comes from page charges of $85 per printed page or a fraction thereof, payable by the supporting institution or granting agency. Payment does not affect acceptance, scheduling, or form of publication. Instructions for payment are sent with galley proofs.
Submission of Accepted Manuscripts Submission of the final version of an accepted manuscript should follow standard AJAE submission guidelines. In addition, the author(s) must prepare an abstract page (see below), must enclose a diskette with the electronic version of the final manuscript (see below), and should return a completed and signed Transfer of Copyright Form (all authors must sign).
Abstract page The following items, in the given order, should be included in an abstract page, to be placed after the front page and before the first page of text. (a) Title. (b) Author鈥檚 (s鈥) name(s). (c) Key words list. Give no more than eight key words in alphabetical order. Consider standard terms used to describe your methodology, theoretical tools, or empirical results. (d) Abstract. The abstract should not exceed 100 words. It should give a clear idea of the main conclusions, the methods employed, and some indication of the line of reasoning. Abstracts must not contain equations, diagrams, or footnotes, but may include numbers. (e) Leading unnumbered footnote. Text for first unnumbered footnote gives titles and institutional affiliation of each author, acknowledgments, and other relevant information pertaining to the accepted manuscript.
Electronic preparation of manuscripts for publication Medium. Submit on a 31/2-inch diskette. On the diskette label, please write (a) name of first author; (b) manuscript number; (c) type and version of word processing software used. Word processing. Any popular word processing software may be used. Formatting. Do use character formatting鈥攊.e., formatting you can do on single characters or words (bold for vectors and matrices, italic for variables, superscript, subscript), but do not use your processor鈥檚 other special features (auto footnote placement, table editors, etc.) Put footnotes and tables at the end of the file. Math typesetting. Use standard type to the maximum extent possible (for example, use Symbol font for Greek characters in simple notation). Refrain from use of embellished letters (dots, bars, tildes, carets). Run equations into text if at all possible (rather than displaying). Simplify notation to avoid costly typesetting. Tables. Tables are most translatable when created manually with tabs, rather than formatted with a table editor using cells. Figures. Figures must be presented in hard copy form at a high resolution (1200 dpi or higher). Figures will be scanned for electronic placement in the layout. (Do not embed figure graphics in the electronic text copy. This often causes file or disk corruption.)
