Agricultural Finance Review

Guidelines for Submitting Manuscripts

All Manuscripts Should Be Submitted Electronically.

We invite submission of manuscripts in agricultural finance, including methodological, empirical, historical, policy, or review-oriented works. Manuscripts may be submitted for the research, teaching, or extension sections. Papers must be original in content. Submissions will be reviewed by agricultural finance professionals. The final decision of publication will be made by the editor.

Title - Short and to the point, preferably not more than seven or eight words.

Abstract - No more than 100 words.

Keywords - Indicate main topics of the article (up to eight key words or short phrases, in alphabetical order).

Author's Affiliation - PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE AUTHORS' NAMES OR AFFILIATIONS IN PAPERS SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW. Once accepted, authors' names, titles, and institutional affiliations should appear as a footnote at the bottom of the first page of the article in the final version of the manuscript.

Specifications - Manuscript should not exceed 25 pages of typewritten, double-spaced material, including tables, footnotes, and references. Place each table and figure on a separate page. Provide camera-ready art for figures. Number footnotes consecutively throughout the manuscript and type them on a separate sheet of paper. Margins should be a minimum of one inch on all sides. Please number pages.

References/Text Citations - List references alphabetically by the author's last name. Include only sources that are cited in the text. For within-text citations (either parenthetical or as part of narrative), spell out up to three author last names; use the first author's name followed by "et al." for works with four or more authors. Include publication year within all text cites.

Procedure - Submit your article electronically (see below). After the manuscript has been reviewed, the editor will e-mail the contact author stating whether the article is accepted, rejected, or needs additional revisions. Invited manuscripts are subject to the same peer review process as regular submitted manuscripts.

Page Charges - Published articles will be subject to a page charge of $75 per printed journal page. If an author has no financial support from an employer or agency, an exemption from the page charge may be petitioned.

Copyright Agreement - A copyright release form signed by all authors is required for accepted manuscripts. Please email or fax the completed form to us.

COPYRIGHT RELEASE FORM
