Instructions to authors

1. Articles must be in English.
2. Any article/short note/review in accordance with the aims and scope of e-JEMED can be submitted.
3. Each article should be original unpublished work that is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. An article published in e-JEMED does not yield a transfer of copyright and can be later published elsewhere.
4. Each article will anonymously peer viewed by two referees. Articles written by members of the Editorial Board will be refereed by independent referees.
5. Accepted and published articles will be composed by three elements:
   • an extended abstract detailing the aims, methods and results of the article;
   • an acrobat version of the article formatted following the style used by e-JEMED;
   • all complementary appendixes that are necessary for the duplication and the evaluation of the results obtained in the article (computer (pseudo)code, on-line program, detailed simulation results).

    

6. All articles must be electronically submitted through the submit page. Submission has two stages. You must first connect to this page to register your submission and get a submission number. During this process you will have to provide the name(s), e-mail address(es) of the author(s), the title of the article and a detailed abstract composed of three sections: (i) aims of the article; (ii) methodological issues; (iii) main results.
7. Second, the author(s) must use the registration number to prepare an anonymous version or the article that will be uploaded through the submit page. The first page of this version should contain the following information: (i) the title; (ii) the submission number; (iii) the extended abstract; (iv) keywords; (v) JEL classification. The name(s) of the author(s) should not appear anywhere in the article (except in citations).
8. Articles can be uploaded in the following versions:
   • Standard Latex article with encapsulated Postscript (EPS) figures included through the graphicx package (all standard packages are permitted) (all elements must be grouped in a zip or tar.gz file);
   • Scientific Word 3.0 with the same configuration for the figures (portable Latex format)(all elements must be grouped in a zip or tar.gz file);
   • MS Word 6,7 for Windows using only the truetype versions of standard PostScript fonts (Times, Arial, Symbol...);
   • WordPerfect 8 for Windows using only the truetype versions of standard PS fonts;
   • Rich Text Format (RTF) (same constraint for the fonts);
   • Pure ASCII text;
   • Adobe Acrobat 3 file (in this case the authors will later have to include style modifications that will be demanded by the managing editor).

    

9. All equations, tables and figures in the article must be numbered and referenced using these numbers.

10. Bibliographical references must follow the the Apalike style:
    • Citations in the text: Author(s)(year). E.g. Arthur(1989)
