Instructions on How to Submit Electronically
- The AJAE’s New Electronic Editorial
Management System (1.5 MB) (updated 8/3/04)
- A "how to" presentation on how to submit a publication electronically.
- Once your manuscript is formatted correctly (see Manuscript
Formatting), you are ready to submit your manuscript electronically
for review.
- Please make sure you review the following instructions/notes for electronic
submissions:
- 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; (c) name, address, phone and fax numbers,
and email address of the author serving as the contact person; (d) date
of submission of the manuscript.
- Instructions: In order for your manuscript to be handled correctly by the
electronic submission system, it must be in PDF format AND it must conform
to AJAE instructions for creating PDFs. See the How to Convert Your Manuscript to PDF
Format page for instructions about creating acceptable PDF files.
- Electronic Submission Information: This form allows you to upload a manuscript,
cover letter, or other files or supporting documentation for your submission
to American Journal of Agricultural Economics. This information will be
transmitted securely and anonymity will be maintained
as your submission is transmitted to referees. Moreover, Adobe(R) Acrobat(R)
PDF files will be automatically "cleansed" so that no identifying
features will appear in the internal document metadata. Thus submissions
will be as anonymous as if sent by hard copy. However you are responsible
for making sure that author names or any other identifying information is
purged from your PDF file prior to submission.
- Submission and verification proceeds in 5 easy steps. It will take only
a few minutes of your time.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Please make sure you review your uploaded file(s) to ensure
that all math, figures, tables, etc. come through cleanly before approving
the final upload.
