Notes for Contributors
 

The official language of the journal is English. Papers should be sent in duplicate to the Editor, Professor Ruth Taplin, Director, Centre for Japanese and East Asian Studies, PO Box 427, Pinner, HA5 3FX, UK (Tel: 020 8429 2839; Fax: 020 8429 9236; Email: Ruth.Taplin@btinternet.com ), along with an abstract of about 200 words. Authors should aim to make their papers understandable to those in other disciplines and wherever possible, mathematical arguments, when they cannot be avoided, should be banished to an appropriate appendix. Although the conventional journal length article will be the norm, short papers, comments, letters, news items, book reviews, pre conference and post conference information will also be welcome.

Manuscripts and accompanying illustrations must be in a form ready for publication. Material will be accepted for review on the understanding that it has not been submitted for publication elsewhere and the author’s copyright will be transferred to the publisher in the event of the publication. Manuscripts should be typed in double spacing on one side of good quality paper with wide margins. The pages should be of uniform size (preferably A4 size) and numbered consecutively. Double spacing should also be used for abstracts, references and footnotes. The manuscripts should not contain more than a few minor corrections. It is the responsibility of the author(s) to obtain any permission necessary to reproduce or quote from published work(s); suitable acknowledgement should always be made. Unpublished manuscripts or letters are also protected.

Titles and Sub Titles should be typed on a separate line without indentation in capitals and lower case. They should not be underlined. Long titles and superfluous capitals should be avoided. Any instruction to the copy editor or printer should be encircled. The following order should normally be used:

First page: title, author(s), name(s), affiliation(s); present address(es) of author(s). In the case of multi-authored works, the full address of the person to whom proofs are to be sent should be given (and clearly indicated) at the bottom of the first page.
Second page: abstract.
Third page: text etc.
Illustrations (figures): figures submitted must be of high quality for direct reproduction. Line drawings should be in Indian or black ink drawn if possible at twice their final intended size. All symbols and lettering should be included in a style consistent with the text. They should be unmounted, not folded and numbered in arabic numerals according to their sequence in the text. The identification should be given lightly on the reverse of each illustration by its number and the name(s) of the author(s). Each figure should have a caption. All captions should be typed on a separate sheet included with the manuscript.
Footnotes should be only used if it is impossible to incorporate the information in the main body of the text. If used they should be identified by subscript numerals and kept short.

References: if an author is cited in the text a date should follow in brackets and the full details should be given in a reference list in alphabetical order at the end of the text. An exact page reference should be given in the text for verbatim quotations. Multiple entries by an author or set of authors in the same year should be post scripted a, b, c, (1994a, 1994b, 1994c) etc. The list of references should follow the customary conventions.

Proofs will be sent to the authors for correction and should be returned within the requested time (by airmail if necessary). Author’s alterations in excess of 10% of the typesetting cost will be charged. The Editor reserves the right to publish a paper without the author’s own corrections in cases of undue delay in returning proofs.

Papers submitted to the Journal of Interdisciplinary Economics are refereed.
