About Journal
Economists concerned with human
resources and local government finance, specialists in education finance and
educational administrators need to be aware of the latest research in the
economics of education. Economics of Education Review encourages the
development of sound theoretical, empirical and policy research, demonstrating
the role of economic analysis in the solution or improved understanding of
educational problems and issues. The journal encourages the interaction of
ideas, research methods and results between economists and other scholars
interested in the economic dimensions of education.
Submission Process
General Guidelines for Authors
Article structure
Subdivision - numbered
sections
Divide your article into clearly defined
and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2,
...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this
numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'.
Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its
own separate line.
Introduction
State the objectives of the work and
provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a
summary of the results.
Material and methods
Provide sufficient detail to allow the
work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a
reference: only relevant modifications should be described.
Results
Results should be clear and concise.
Discussion
This should explore the significance of
the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion
section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of
published literature.
Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study may be
presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a
subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
Appendices
If there is more than one appendix, they
should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should
be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent
appendix, Eq. (B.1) and so on. Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1;
Fig. A.1, etc.
Essential title page information
• Title. Concise and informative. Titles
are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and
formulae where possible.
• Author names and affiliations. Where
the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this
clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was
done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript
letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate
address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the
country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
• Corresponding author. Clearly indicate
who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication,
also post-publication. Ensure that phone numbers (with country and area code)
are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
Contact details must be kept up to date by the corresponding author.
• Present/permanent address. If an
author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was
visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be
indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author
actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address.
Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is
required (maximum length 150 words). The abstract should state briefly the
purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An
abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to
stand alone. References should therefore be avoided, but if essential, they
must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list. Non-standard or
uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined
at their first mention in the abstract itself.
JEL Classifications
Authors are requested to supply JEL
(Journal of Economic Literature) Classifications (for more information, please
see: http://www.aeaweb.org/journal/jel_class_system.html). At least one of the
JEL Classifications must be in the I2 category.
Highlights
Highlights are mandatory for this
journal. They consist of a short collection of bullet points that convey the
core findings of the article and should be submitted in a separate file in the
online submission system. Please use 'Highlights' in the file name and include
3 to 5 bullet points (maximum 85 characters, including spaces, per bullet
point). See http://www.elsevier.com/highlights for examples.
Keywords
Immediately after the abstract, provide
between 2-6 keywords to be chosen from the following list: costs, demand for
schooling, economic development, economic impact, economies of scale,
educational economics, educational finance, educational vouchers, efficiency,
expenditures, grants, human capital, input output analysis, privatization,
productivity, rate of return, resource allocation, salary wage differentials,
school choice, state and federal aid, student financial aid, and teacher
salaries. Authors may select alternative keywords that more accurately reflect
the nature of their contribution. These keywords will be used for indexing
purposes.
