Style Guidelines: Manuscripts should be double spaced, with wide margins. All pages should be numbered consequently. Titles and subtitles should be short. References, tables, and legends for the figures should be on separate pages. Ensure that the letter "l" and digit "1", and also the letter "O" and digit "0" are used properly, and format your article (tabs, indents, etc.) consistently. Characters not available on your word processor (Greek letters, mathematical symbols, etc.) should not be left open but indicated by a unique code (e.g., gralpha, <alpha>, @, etc., for the Greek letter a). Such codes should be used consistently throughout the entire text; a list of codes used should accompany the electronic manuscript. Do not allow your word processor to introduce word breaks and do not use a justified layout. The first page of the manuscript should contain the following information: (i) the title; (ii) the name(s) and institutional affiliation(s) of the author(s); (iii) an abstract of not more than 100 words. A footnote on the same sheet should give the name, address, and telephone and fax numbers, and E-mail address of the corresponding author. The first page of the manuscript should also contain at least one classification code according to the Classification System for Journal Articles as used by the Journal of Economic Literature; in addition, up to five key words should be supplied. Acknowledgements and information on grants received can be given in a first footnote, which should not be included in the consecutive numbering of footnotes. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and numbered consecutively throughout the text with superscript Arabic numerals. They should be double spaced and not include displayed formulae or tables. Displayed formulae should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript as (1), (2), etc. against the right-hand margin of the page. In cases where the derivation of formulae has been abbreviated, it is of great help to the referees if the full derivation can be presented on a separate sheet (not to be published). References to publications should be as follows: "Smith (1992) reported that..." or "This problem has been studied previously (e.g., Smith et al., 1969)." The author should make sure that there is a strict one-to-one correspondence between the names and years in the text and those on the list. The list of references should appear at the end of the main text (after any appendices, but before tables and legends for figures). It should be double spaced and listed in alphabetical order by author's name. References should appear as follows:
Note that journal titles should not be abbreviated. For Illustrations, care should be taken that lettering and symbols are of a comparable size. All graphs and diagrams should be referred to as figures, and should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals. The illustrations should be clearly marked with the figure number. Illustrations can be printed in colour when they are judged by the Editor to be essential to the presentation. The publisher and the author will each bear part of the extra costs involved. Further information concerning colour illustrations and the costs to the author can be obtained from the publisher. Tables should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals On acceptance of their paper, authors are offered the possibility to submit a complete set of any data and computer code used in the paper. Computer code necessary to run a commercial program (e.g. SAS, LIMDEP, etc.) or the source code of a non-commercial program may be submitted. What is useful differs with each paper but the intention is that the results of the paper can be replicated with this code given access to any commercial program used to obtain the results. The data, computer programs and code will be made available to the public through the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control data archive. Guidelines for users of this archive will be published in this journal periodically and also at the journal's website. Any manuscript which does not conform to the above instructions may be returned for the necessary revision before publication. Page proofs will be sent by Elsevier to the corresponding author. Proofs should be corrected carefully; the responsibility for detecting errors lies with the author. Corrections should be restricted to instances in which the proof is at variance with the manuscript. No deviations from the version accepted by the Editors are permissible without the prior and explicit approval by the Editors. Electronic Submission of Final Accepted Version: Please send all files for your accepted paper (including pdf, word processing files, and graphics) together in a single zip file to the JEDC Office at jedc@uva.nl. Please put your MS reference number in the subject line of the email via which you send the zip file. For the names of your files, please refrain from using spaces, accented characters, symbols like @, #n, %, &,*,<,> or very long file names. When sending a zip file, please note that any directory structures will be lost after the JEDC Office uploads the files to the publisher. Please inform the JEDC Office when a directory structure is vital (e.g LaTeX submissions). The zip file will be sent to the publisher and your paper will be put into production by Elsevier. You will hear from the publisher in due course. If possible, please include versions of your paper in both pdf and the original word processing formats. Elsevier can accept most standard word processing files, although Word, WordPerfect and LaTeX are preferred. Graphics should be high-resolution (preferred formats are either TIFF or EPS). Please make sure that all figure captions are available and all tables are present (including title, description, footnotes). Please adhere strictly to the style guidelines listed above. This means that fewer changes have to be made, which reduces the possibility of errors being introduced. Most formatting codes are removed or replaced when Elsevier processes your article so there is no need for you to use excessive layout styling. Please do not use options such as automatic word breaking, justified layout, double columns or automatic paragraph numbering (especially for numbered references). Do use bold face, italic, subscripts, superscripts, etc., as appropriate. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, please use only one grid for each separate table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is being used, use tabs to align columns instead of spaces. Finally, please take care to update all bibliographic data in your reference list, keeping in mind that many cited manuscripts have been published since the time that you first submitted your paper to the JEDC. When you create your manuscript, please make sure it is in the following order:
Note: Do not import the Figures into your word processing file. If you use LaTeX to write your article, Elsevier has separate LaTeX instructions, which can be found on http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorsview.authors/latex. The document class elsart1p.cls, described on that page, will give you the closest match to the JEDC's layout. |
