Initial Submission
AJAE Author Guidelines: Manuscript Preparation for Submission
Submissions to AJAE can be made through our electronic editorial office, found here.
Authors should read the Journal’s policies below before submitting their manuscript.
For initial submission, the following guidelines must be followed or the manuscript will be withdrawn from consideration without review. A submission has two components:
A submitted manuscript file (.pdf) that follows these guidelines:
The first page has only the title and abstract on it.
The manuscript must have no information anywhere that can identify the author (title page, headers, appendices, images of survey instruments, etc.)
The submitted manuscript must not include acknowledgments.
The main text of the manuscript is double spaced.
The manuscript uses 1-inch margins all around.
The main text of the manuscript uses 12-point Times Roman or font of a similar size.
The main text (including footnotes/endnotes, but excluding title page, abstract, references, tables and figures, appendices) should be no more than 10,000 words.
The main manuscript should have no more than twelve tables and figures combined.
Additional text and proofs (double spaced), tables, and figures are in appendices. For review, all appendices to the manuscript must be attached to the end of the manuscript itself or the reviewers will not be able to see them. (Note that supplemental appendices will be published as separate Online Supplementary Materials.)
Data sources are indicated clearly in the article.
Manuscripts reporting the results of economic experiments or surveys conducted by the authors must include a copy of the experimental instructions or survey instrument as an appendix to be used by the referees. These research instruments must not identify the researchers or authors by name or institution.
A cover letter with the following information:
Affirm compliance with the Pre-Publication Policy: Affirm that 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for publication elsewhere, and will not be submitted for publication elsewhere unless rejected by the journal editor or withdrawn by the author(s).
Provide a statement about whether any of the coauthors have relevant material or financial interests in the subject of the research (actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest). If any coauthor has a potential conflict of interest, that should be explained. If none exist, please say so. (Complete disclosure forms are only required in the event of manuscript acceptance.)
If relevant, provide documentation for research involving human subjects. For all submitted manuscripts involving human subjects research, the authors must communicate: (1) The authors have obtained approval from all appropriate Institutional Review Boards or equivalent institutional oversight authorities and (2) If the protocol involves deception of human subjects, document the extent and nature of deception involved and the research justification for inclusion of the deception.
