TopAuthor Guidelines

Authors should e-mail their papers, with any artwork or illustrations, to:

Professor Frederic S. Lee

Department of Economics

University of Missouri-Kansas City

5100 Rockhill Road,

Kansas City, Missouri 64110; USA

E-mail: ajes@umkc.edu

Submissions should be typed in English, double-spaced, with all notes at the end of the paper. A reference list with the full 'facts of publication' must be included as well. Authors should consult a recent copy of the AJES for examples of satisfactory reference pages.

Each article (or short comment) that is published in the AJES has a title. The author(s) name(s) follows with an asterisk. The asterisk is repeated at the bottom of the cover page and a brief biographical paragraph follows containing each author's full name and professional address. The e-mail address MUST also be supplied. After that a sentence explaining that 'Professor XYZ interests include . . . . and recent he(she) has published a book . . . . .'

We require a 100-200 word abstract which should be included on the cover page.

By way of summary:

· The first page has a title, followed by the authors' names and an asterisk. Next comes an Abstract followed by a short biographical paragraph.

· The substance of the paper begins on the second page. Authors are encouraged to break the argument by using subheads and number each subhead consecutively with Roman numbers.

· Endnotes and a reference page are requested at the end of the paper.

· Tables and Figures should be noted in the text of the paper by 'Insert Table A' but included at the end.

The AJES prefers articles of about 7,500 words including notes and references, but will consider articles up to 10,000 words. If the prospective article is more than 10,000 words, the author(s) should contact the editor prior to submitting it.

Legal considerations. Submission of an article to the AJES--as indicated by the use of these words or their equivalent in the cover letter-- implies that the paper is original, unpublished and that is not under consideration elsewhere by any other publication source. By submitting a manuscript the author(s) warrant that they have secured all needed copyrights and now transfer those copyrights to the AJES, Inc., including their own copyright in the original material. The AJES, Inc., will not unreasonably withhold its permission for any author(s) to make copies of the article for his own personal use or the use of his(her) students so long as timely notice is given to the AJES in writing at its editorial office. In the case of multiple authors, the author signing the cover letter is presumed to be the contact person for the team. It is the policy of the AJES to inform the lead author only of all official business surrounding the article.

Authors will be required to assign copyright in their paper to the American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Inc. 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

Submission Fee. There is no submission fee. It has been our custom to invite authors (or the authors request their institution) to become subscribers and participate in the future development of the journal.
