Submitting Manuscripts to the AJAE
Submission Guidelines
Conditions:
Submission of a paper will be held to imply that (a) the material in the manuscript has not been published, is not being published or considered for publication elsewhere, and will not be submitted for publication elsewhere unless rejected by the journal editor or withdrawn by the author(s); (b) the material in the manuscript, so far as the author(s) knows, does not infringe upon other published material covered by copyright; (c) the author’s (s’) employer, if any, either does not assert an ownership interest in the manuscript or is willing to convey such interest to the American Agricultural Economics Association (AAEA); and (d) submission of the manuscript gives the AAEA exclusive right to publish, to copyright, and to allow or deny reproduction of it, in whole or in part. If the applicability of point (a) is unclear, the author(s) must provide an explanation in the cover letter.
Data and documentation. Authors are expected to document their data sources, models, and estimation procedures as thoroughly as possible, and to make the data used available to others for replication purposes. If an exception to this rule is desired, reasons should be given and this should be explicitly noted in the cover letter.
What and where to submit:
WE ONLY ACCEPT MANUSCRIPTS IN PDF FORMAT. For the initial submission, please send the manuscript, model documentation and all supporting materials through the AJAE's electronic submission system. Subsequent editorial correspondence should be with the editor in charge of the manuscript. The AJAE does not ordinarily consider for publication manuscripts exceeding thirty double-spaced pages (everything included).
