TopAuthor Guidelines

The editors endeavour to ensure that authors receive timely and constructive feedback on their papers. Recently, the average lag between submission of a paper and response to author was approximatel eight weeks.

Notes to Contributors

1. Papers and $A25 submission fee may be submitted electronically to aep@flinders.edu.au.

2. All pages should be numbered consecutively.

3. Papers will normally be refereed 'double blind'. Hence material that might identify authorship of the paper should be placed on a cover sheet in a separate file. It should contain: (i) the title; (ii) the author(s) name(s) and institutional affiliation(s); and (iii) the corresponding author's postal address, fax number and email address. The first page of the manuscript should contain the title and an abstract, not exceeding 200 words, only.

4. Submission of a paper will be held to imply that its contents is original, unpublished and that the paper has not been submitted for publication elsewhere.

5. Papers accepted for publication will be expected to conform to the general style of Australian Economic Papers as outlined in notes 6 through to 11.

6. Footnotes should be numbered consecutively and typed on a separate page at the end of the paper. Institutional affiliations and acknowledgements should not be included in the numbered footnotes.

7. References in the text should be by author name and year of publication, as in these examples: 'Smith (1997) in a paper on...'; 'Evidence provided by Smith et al. (1997)...'.

8. A list of references should be included at the end of the paper and should conform to the AEP's style. For example:

Griffiths, W. and Judge, G. 1992, 'Testing and Estimating Location Vectors when the Error Variance Matrix is Unknown',
Journal of Econometrics, vol. 54, pp. 121-138.

Border, K. 1985, Fixed Point Theorems with Applications in
Economics, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.

9. Note that journal titles should not be abbreviated.

10. Roman numerals should be used for numbering sections of a paper, lower-case letters for subsections and Arabic numerals for numbering equations. Equation numbers appear on the right hand side of the page.

11. Each table and figure should be printed on a separate piece of paper. Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively and some indication given in the text where each one should appear.

12. Illustrations will be reproduced photographically from originals supplied by the authors; they will not be redrawn by the publisher. Please provide all illustrations in quadruplicate. Care should be taken that lettering and symbols are of comparable size. All graphs and diagrams should be referred to as figures.

13. Galley proofs will be sent to the corresponding author via email for final proof reading. Proofs should be corrected carefully. Responsibility for detecting errors lies with the authors.
