Information for Authors Authors should refer to the Aims and Scope of
the Journal before deciding on whether to submit manuscripts. In all papers a meaningful balance between the description of
the technique of analysis and the revenue of the policy implications is essential. Manuscripts should be submitted as follows: Authors who would like to expedite matters may also send one copy to the editor whose area of specialization may be judged most
relevant to the article's subject matter. Submission of a paper will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work
and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. The editors do not accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers submitted. Upon acceptance of an article by the Journal, the author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright in the article to the Society.
This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information under the U.S. Copyright Law. Manuscripts should be typed double spaced, preferably on 8.5 x 11 in. bond paper, one side of the sheet only. Footnotes to the
text are indicated by superior numbers, numbered consecutively throughout the article. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum.
Reference citations in the text are by last name of author and year, i.e., Smith (1977) or (Smith 1977). If the same author and
year are cited again, use 1977 a, b, etc. The title page should include the full names and affiliations of the authors,
with the name and address of the author to whom proofs and correspondence should be sent. An Abstractof not more than 100 words
should be included. The title should be as brief as possible. If it exceeds 45 characters and spaces, include a brief running
title. The following reference style should be observed:
Illustrations should be submitted as professionally drafted original line drawings (or glossy Photostats of originals) complete and
ready for photoreproduction. Lettering and data points should be large enough so when reduced to fit on the journal page (4.5
in. width x 7 in. depth maximum) they can be read with ease. Proofs and reprints The corresponding author will receive proofs, which should be corrected and returned within 48 hours of receipt, or the article will be published without author corrections. Author is responsible for proofreading the manuscript; the publisher is not responsible for any errors not marked by the author on the proof. Reprints may be ordered prior to publication, consulting the price list which accompanies proofs. |
