MS Word editor should be used for creating the text in non-formatted style strictly following the journal layout. Tables, graphs, and other material are to be submitted separately to the text. Each document should be printed, commencing on a separate sheet of paper, and its title and detailed description including the measurement units used should be indicated. Word editor should be used to create tables, for tables each item should be placed into a separate cell. Tables are to be numbered with Arabic numerals in the order in which they are referred to in the text. Graphs should be provided in MS Excel and they should be stored with original data (the font and type size should be consistent with the general journal format requirements to be incorporated in to the text). Autotypes (black and white ones are preferred) should be submitted in high resolution (min. 300 dpi) in JPGE or TIF format. All graphs and photos should be numbered, continually according to the order in which they are included in the text, again using Arabic numerals. All other material should be submitted in digital form, in high resolution black and white format. Colored photos or maps may be published following agreement, but this will be exclusively at the authors’ own cost. All material to be included in a paper should be referred to in the text. If any abbreviations are used in a paper, they shall be explained appropriately when they are used in the text for the first time. It is not advisable to use any abbreviations in the paper title or in the abstract.

Paper title should be short, intelligible, not exceeding 85 characters. No subtitles shall be used.

Abstract is a short summary of the whole paper including an outline of the objective, method, results and conclusions of the paper, but it should not be a mere description. It should describe all essential facts of a scientific paper and basic numerical data including any statistical evaluation should be incorporated in the abstract. Keywords must be included. The abstract should not go to more than 170 words.

References

References should be a list of refereed periodicals arranged in alphabetical order according to the surname of the first authors, following by the year of publication cited in brackets and full title of the paper in English with the language of publication in parenthesis, e.g. (in  Czech).

About Journal

Agricultural Economics aims to disseminate the most important research results and policy analyses in our discipline, from all regions of the world. Topical coverage ranges from consumption and nutrition to land use and the environment, at every scale of analysis from households to markets and the macro-economy. Applicable methodologies include econometric estimation and statistical hypothesis testing, optimization and simulation models, descriptive reviews and policy analyses. The journal particularly encourages submission of empirical work that can be replicated and tested by others.

Submission Process

Submit manuscripts in PDF format online at: https://editorialexpress.com/cgi-bin/e-editor/e-submit_v11.cgi?dbase=agecon

General Guidelines for Authors

1. Articles should be written in American English. Authors are strongly advised to have their manuscripts checked carefully for spelling, grammar and usage before submission.

2. Manuscripts can be prepared using any document-processing software. They should then be converted to PDF format for submission. Conversion to PDF can be done using a wide range of software tools, from the originator of this standard (www.adobe.com) or from other firms (such as www.cutepdf.com).

3. The first page of the manuscript should show the paper's title. The manuscript should make no reference to author names since refereeing will follow a double-blind procedure. For ease of reading, manuscripts should use wide margins, double spaced text, with all pages numbered consecutively.

4. A separate cover page with author names and affiliations is to be submitted simultaneously as a PDF file or in plain text, for the editors' use only.

5. A brief abstract, typically on the order of 100-200 words, should be prepared and will be entered as plain text at the time of submission.

6. Formatting should be as in previous issues of the journal, except that figures and tables should be presented together at the end of the manuscript.

Tables and figures

 1. In presenting data, authors should anticipate the limitations set by the size and layout of the journal. Large and complex tables, figures and maps should be avoided in the main paper, but can be included in a data appendix for use by reviewers. Authors are encouraged to prepare such an appendix, ideally including all data and model code needed to replicate the paper's main results. Doing so will make each paper much more useful after publication. These data can be disseminated by the journal alongside the article itself, or authors can do so themselves if they prefer.

2. Any tables and figures that are included in the main text of the paper should be numbered separately, in the sequence that they are mentioned in the text.

3. Each table and figure should be presented on a separate page of the manuscript, with a brief and self-explanatory title. All text should be clearly legible, and all graphics and legends should be easily distinguished when printed in black and white. Tables should use horizontal lines only, with only blank space to separate columns.

4. Notes under each table and figure should be used to explain and specify the source of all data shown.

Equations

1. Formulae should be composed in an equations editor where possible, to ensure appropriate spacing and lettering when printed.

2. Equations should be presented on a separate line and numbered sequentially at the right-hand margin of the page, in parentheses.

3. All variable names, symbols, subscripts and superscripts should be explained in the text where they are first used.

Footnotes

1. Footnotes should be used sparingly. In many cases it will be possible to incorporate the information in normal text.

2. If used, footnotes should be numbered in the text, indicated by superscript numbers, and kept as brief as possible. Equations or other complex text should not appear in footnotes, since they will be difficult to read.

References

Reference lists for final publication should follow the example of past issues, for example using the following
