Information for Contributors
Manuscripts should be submitted to:
| Paul Davidson, Editor Journal of Post Keynesian Economics New School University – CEPA 80 Fifth Avenue, 5th Floor New York, NY 10011-8002 |
The submission of a manuscript to JPKE certifies that the manuscript is not copyrighted and is not under review for publication in another journal. If the manuscript is an excerpt of a book to be published in the near future, anticipated details of the title and publication data should be provided.
Form of Manuscripts
Three copies of manuscripts should be submitted. The text should be double-spaced, on one side of good quality paper, allowing ample margins. All illustrations, tables, etc., should be placed on separate sheets, included with each copy. Their approximate placement should be indicated in the text. The notes should be placed at the end of the text (DO NOT USE EMBEDDED FOOTNOTES OR GRAPHICS).
The covering letter should provide full affiliation, the mail and E-mail addresses, and telephone number(s) of the corresponding author. Brief bio-graphical statements of all authors should be included. The title page should include the paper title and the names and affiliations of all the authors. Text files should be in an IBM-compatible format (a list of acceptable file formats is available on demand; we can accept most word processing formats, but not TEX or LATEX). The software and formats used for the text and graphics files should be identified in the covering letter as well as on the diskettes.
- All tables and charts or other art should be submitted in separate
files from the main text of the manuscript and the diskettes must
indicate the program used to create them. DO NOT embed them in
the main text of the manuscript.
- DO NOT use the automatic footnoting feature in your word processor. Notes should be indicated by a superscript number in the text, and the note text should be placed as regular running text at the end of the manuscript or in a separate file.
If a reference list is included, it should appear at the end of the paper. The references should be arranged alphabetically according to the name of the first author or editor, and numbered. Citations in the text, referring to this list, should be made as follows: (author last name(s), date).
References to Items in Periodicals
These should take the form: author(s), title, journal (italicized or underlined),
volume and issue numbers, date, inclusive pages. For all authors, last names are
given first; likewise for editors, with the names followed by “(ed.)”. The name
of the last author ends with a period. More than two authors (but not editors)
are separated by semicolons. The title has only the first word and proper names
(or their derivatives) capitalized, and it ends with the period. The date is given
in parentheses. Example:
Davenport, T.H., and Beers, M.C. “Managing Information About Processes.”
Journal of Management Information Systems, summer 1995, 12(1), 57–80.
Smith, John. “Why Economics?” New York Times, April 1, 1999, 25.
References to Books
Author(s) are specified in the same style as for periodicals. In the title, all
principal words are capitalized and the title is italicized or underlined. The title
ends with a period and is followed by city, “:”, publisher, year. Example:
Nonaka, J., and Takeuchi, H. The Knowledge-Creating Company. New York: Oxford University Press, 1995.
Figures and Tables
Figures should be submitted as original drawings, complete, and ready for photoreproduction. Tables submitted as cleanly printed copy may also be reproduced photographically. All lettering and figure elements should be large enough to be readable when the figure has been reduced to fit the journal page. All figures and tables must be specifically referred to in the text. All figures and tables should have brief, descriptive captions. If figures are provided on diskette, they should be in their original software (e.g., Excel, JPEG, TIFF, EPS), rather than pasted into a word-processing document. All figures must be submitted in camera-ready condition, preferably in black and white. We do not have the staff to produce or otherwise repair figures.
Proofs and Reprints
Authors will receive page proofs of their papers, which should be returned to the publisher within ten working days. Each author will receive a free copy of the issue in which his or her paper appears. Additional copies of the journal and/or reprints may be ordered at the time the proofs are returned.
JOURNAL ARTICLE INTERNET-POSTING POLICY
The abstract of an Author's article, with standard bibliographic information about the place and date of publication, may be posted anywhere at any time. Posting of the Author's own pre-published version of the article on a secure, restricted-access network within the Author’s employing institution is also permitted at any time, as long as the standard bibliographic information is provided. After an embargo period of 18 months from the date of publication, Authors may, at their own discretion, post their pre-published text on their own website or open-access institutional website. In all cases, full bibliographic information for the final, published version with a link to the Publisher's website, www.mesharpe.com/journals.asp, must be included with a note that the posted version is not the final, published version.
