differences
marked in red below.
(1) Papers must be in English.
(2) Papers for publication
should be submitted using the online submission mechanism: http://ees.elsevier.com/monec/default.asp.
Please follow the guidelines. Manuscripts submitted using the online system
will be handled substantially quicker than those submitted by mail. If papers
are sent by mail, please send them in quadruplicate (with one copy not stapled)
to:
Editorial Office, Journal
of Monetary
There is a standard
submission fee of US$ 175.00 for all unsolicited manuscripts submitted for
publication. There are reduced fees for subscribers to the Journal (US$
100.00), students (US$ 75.00), and student subscribers (US$ 50.00). To
encourage quicker response referees will be paid a nominal fee and the
submission fee will be used to cover these refereeing expenses. There are no
page charges. Cheques should be made payable to the Journal of Monetary
Economics. When a paper is accepted the fee will be reimbursed.
Submission of a paper will
be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being
submitted for publication elsewhere. The Editor does not accept responsibility
for damage or loss of papers submitted. Upon acceptance of an article,
author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the publisher.
This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
(3) Submission of accepted
papers as electronic manuscripts, i.e., on disk with accompanying manuscript,
is encouraged. Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need
for rekeying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors
and resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs. The preferred storage
medium is a 5.25 or 3.5 inch disk in MS-DOS format, although other systems are
welcome, e.g., Macintosh (in this case, save your file in the usual manner; do
not use the option 'save in MS-DOS format"). Do not submit your original
paper as electronic manuscript but hold on to disk until asked for this by the
Editor (in case your paper is accepted without revisions). Do submit the
accepted version of your paper as electronic manuscript. Make absolutely sure
that the file on the disk and the printout are identical. Please use a new and
correctly formatted disk and label this with your name; also specify the
software and hardware used as well as the title of the file to be processed. Do
not convert the file to plain ASCII. Ensure that the letter 'l' and digit'1',
and also the letter 'O' and digit '0' are used properly, and format your
article (tabs, indents, etc.) consistently. Characters not available on your
word processor (Greek letters mathematical symbols, etc.) should not be left
open but indicated by a unique code (e.g.gralpha, alpha, etc., for the Greek
letter ). Such codes should be used consistently throughout the
entire text; a list of codes used should accompany the electronic manuscript.
Do not allow your word processor to introduce word breaks and do not use a
justified layout. Please adhere strictly to the general instructions below on
style, arrangement and, in particular, the reference style of the journal.
(4) Manuscripts should be
double spaced, with wide margins, and printed on one side of the paper only.
All pages should be numbered consequently. Sections
should be numbered with arabic numbers, starting with "1. Introduction".
Subsequent sections, sub-sections, and sub-sub-sections should be numbered as 2;
2.1; and 2.1.1 respectively. Titles and subtitles should be
short. References, tables, and legends for the figures should be printed on
separate pages.
(5) The first page of the
manuscript should contain the following information: (i) the title; (ii) the
name(s) and institutional affiliation(s)of the author(s); (iii) an abstract of not
more than 100 words. A footnote on the same sheet should give the name,
address, and telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author [as well as
an e-mail address].
(6) The first page of the
manuscript should also contain at least one classification code according to
the Classification System for Journal Articles as used by the Journal of Economic
Literature; in addition, up to five key words should be supplied.
(7) Acknowledgements and information
on grants received can be given in a first footnote, which should not be
included in the consecutive numbering of footnotes.
(8) Footnotes should be
kept to a minimum and numbered consecutively throughout the text with
superscript Arabic numerals.
(9) Displayed formulae
should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript as (1), (2), etc.
against the right-hand margin of the page. In cases where the derivation of
formulae has been abbreviated, it is of great help to the referees if the full
derivation can be presented on a separate sheet (not to be published).
(10) References to
publications should be as follows: 'Smith (1992) reported that...' of 'This
problem has been studied previously (e.g., Smith et al., 1969)'. The author
should make sure that there is a strict one-to-one correspondence between the
names and years in the text and those on the list. The list of references
should appear at the end of the main text (after any appendices, but before
tables and legends for figures). It should be double spaced and listed in
alphabetical order by author's name. References should appear as follows:
For monographs

For contributions to
collective works

1990. Money supply. In: Friedman, B.M., Hahn, F.H. (Eds.), Handbook of Monetary
Economics. Elsevier,
For periodicals
Note that journal titles
should not be abbreviated.
(11) Illustrations will be
reproduced photographically from originals supplied by the author; they will
not be redrawn by the publisher. Please provide all illustrations in
quadruplicate (one high-contrast original and three photocopies). Care should
be taken that lettering and symbols are of a comparable size. The illustrations
should not be inserted in the text, and should be marked on the back with
figure number, title of paper, and author's name. All graphs and diagrams
should be referred to as figures, and should be numbered consecutively in the
text in Arabic numerals. Illustration for papers submitted as electronic
manuscripts should be in traditional form.
(12) Tables should be
numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals and printed on separate
sheets.
Any manuscript which does
not conform to the above instructions may be returned for the necessary
revision before publication.
Page proofs will be sent to
the corresponding author. Proofs should be corrected carefully; the
responsibility for detecting errors lies with the author. Corrections should be
restricted to instances in which the proof is at variance with the manuscript.
No deviations from the version accepted by the Editors are permissible without
the prior and explicit approval by the Editors; these alterations will be
charged. Fifty reprints of each paper are supplied free of charge to the
corresponding author; additional reprints are available at cost if they are
ordered when the proof is returned..
