About Journal

The peer-reviewed American Journal of Economics and Sociology AJES welcomes any submission that critically investigates the social provisioning process utilizing different theoretical and methodological approaches; that engages in critical analysis and empirical studies of current social-economic micro and macro policies affecting the social provisioning process; and that evaluates past and current intellectual arguments and disciplinary developments primarily in economics and sociology (but also in the related disciplines of anthropology, political science, and law) which had or currently have an impact on understanding and investigating the social provisioning process.  Articles that offer an interdisciplinary perspective are encouraged.  For policy-oriented articles, it is appropriate and encouraged to discuss the public policy implications (if any) of the findings.

General Guidelines for Authors

1. Manuscripts should be double-spaced, with wide margins and printed on one side of paper only. All pages should be numbered consecutively. Titles and subtitles should be short. References, tables, and legends for the figures should be printed on separate pages. Manuscripts should not exceed 10,000 words.

2. The first page of the manuscript should contain the following information: (1) the Title; (2) the name(s) and institutional affiliation(s) of the author(s); (3) an abstract of 50 to 75 words; (4) email address(es) or author(s); (5) 3 to 5 keywords; (6) 2 to 3 Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) codes (http://www.aeaweb.org/journal/jel_class_system.php; and/or (7) 2 to 3 Sociology classification codes (http://www.ovid.com/site/products/fieldguide/soci/Classification_Codes_and_Su.jsp).

3. Footnotes should follow the text at the bottom of the page where the footnote occurs and should include only material that cannot be included in the text. Footnotes are numbered consecutively throughout the text by superscript numerals. They should be double-spaced and should not include display formulae or tables.

4. Displayed formulae should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscripts as (1), (2), and so on against the right hand margin of the page. In case where 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has been abbreviated, it is of great help to the referees if the full derivation can be presented on a separate sheet (not to be published).

5. Quotes should be of the following form:

I cannot admit that a more general distribution of land would not ameliorate the condition of agriculturalists. In support of his theory Mr. George does me the honor of quoting what I wrote in the Corbden Club volume. (Laveleye 1882: 796)

A few pages before the long passage quoted by George, Laveleye had written: "As a rule peasant property is an excellent thing wherever the proprietor is himself the cultivator" (1881: 475).

Use double quotation marks for quoted material in the text, with single quotation marks for quotes within quotes.

References

References to publications should be as follows: "Smith (1992) reported that...." Or "This problem has been studied previously (Smith 1992)." The author should make sure that there is a strict one-to-one correspondence between the names and years in the text and those in the reference 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 name.

Use a dash to indicate that a reference is by the exact same author(s) as the one above:

Horowitz, J. (2003). Get Out Now: Winter in Montana. New York: Weather Publishing

------------. (2006). "The Devils and Economics." Journal of Predictable Relationships 54: 123-42.

When there are several references by the same author(s), please arrange them chronologically, with the latest publication listed last.

About Journal

The American Journal of Agricultural Economics provides a forum for creative and scholarly work on the economics of agriculture and food, natural resources and the environment, and rural and community development throughout the world. Papers should relate to one of these areas, should have a problem orientation, and should demonstrate originality and innovation in analysis, methods, or application. Analyses of problems pertinent to research, extension, and teaching are equally encouraged, as is interdisciplinary research with a significant economic component. Review articles that offer a comprehensive and insightful survey of a relevant subject, consistent with the scope of the Journal as discussed above, will also be considered. All articles published, regardless of their nature, will be held to the same set of scholarly standards.

General Guidelines for Authors

Authors’ Identification and Title Page

To protect their anonymity in the review process AUTHORS SHOULD NOT IDENTIFY THEMSELVES ON THE TITLE PAGE OR IN ANY HEADERS. A SEPARATE TITLE PAGE MUST BE SENT AS AN ATTACHMENT TO THE EDITORS via the online submission management system and should include: (a) title; (b) author(s) names; and (c) name, address, phone and fax numbers, and email address of the author serving as the contact person.

Text Preparation

Please assure that at least one sentence of text occurs between any two headings (in particular, a section heading should be followed by at least some text preceding any subsection heading). Double-space all material, including footnotes, references, and tables, on 8-1/2- by 11-inch standard-weight white paper. Use 1-1/4-inch margins and 12-point Times Roman or a similar type style. All headings and subheadings are flush left. Provide short headings for each section and subsection. Do not number sections or subsections. Section headings are denoted in bold and subsection headings, in italics. Do not indent the first paragraph after any heading. Do not use a heading prior to the first paragraph of the article (e.g., no heading for “introduction”), and do not indent the first paragraph of the article. All material should be double-spaced and single sided. Follow The Chicago Manual of Style, by the University of Chicago Press, and recent issues of the AJAE for style. NOTE: When referring to your paper, use the word “article.”

Style

Please follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed.

References and Citations

Place References, alphabetized by author, in a list at the end of the paper, double spaced (without extra blank lines between references). Provide issue number whenever possible and always for journals that do not number pages sequentially through complete volumes (e.g., for Journal of Economic Perspectives). Format reference with hanging indentation (first line flush left, second and subsequent lines indented). Only cited works may be included in the reference list. All citations should appear in the text and contain the authors name and year, with page numbers when necessary; text citations should omit any comma or other punctuation between the author name and the year of publication. Citations can be inserted parenthetically, e.g. (Doe 1998, p. 5). If the author’s name is used as part of the sentence, include year of publication parenthetically, with page numbers if necessary; e.g., Doe, Smith and Jones (2002) show that . . . . . Use et al. only with four or more authors. For text citations listing more than one source, separate sources by a semi-colon: (Doe 1998; Smith and Jones 2000; Smith, Jones, and Erp 2003; Thomas et al. 2004). Do not use et al. in the reference section.

You can find examples of how to list specific types of references and citations in the AJAE Reference Guide.

Tables and Figures

Place each table and figure on a separate page at the end of the paper. Double-space all material and omit vertical rules in tables. Each table and figure must have a legend. Place legends for tables at the top of the table, flush left, and bold. Table and figure titles should be fully descriptive. Omit a period at the end of the legend. Capitalize the first letter in each word. Example:

Table 1. Summary Statistics for Pennsylvania Wheat Crops, 1998-2000
