Instructions for Authors

The journal encourages the submission of original unpublished works, not under consideration by other journals. The acceptance of an article implies the not exclusive licence of copyright to the EACES. The author will able to re-publish the work in every format with the only constraint to acknowledge the first publication.
No article submission, processing or other charges apply when authors submit new articles for possible publication.

Note that the manuscript should follow the below indicated style since the first submission. In case of significant unconformity with the below instructions, the paper would not be taken into consideration. The journal will maintain high scientific standards. All submitted papers will therefore undergo a blind refereeing process. A two-stage submission process has been instituted for this purpose. In the first stage the author will be asked to fill a form which contains details of her or his identity, as well as a description of the paper's field. The paper itself, which will be uploaded in the second stage, should not contain any information which may indicate the author's identity.

We will maintain a fast refereeing process that will facilitate a speedy publication process. The copyright of the published papers will remain with their authors, who will be requested always to mention The European Journal of Comparative Economics as the original venue of publication.

Note

The paper submitted should not contain references to the author or her/his institution.

Other formats will be accepted at the Editors' discretion. The language of the Journal is English. The authors should use the Garamond character for all the paper: 12 for the normal text, 13 for section titles and 18 for paper titles. Each section must be numbered, and in case of different parts composing a section, it is suggested to use more numbers (2.1, 2.2, etc.; 2.1.1, 2.1.2, etc.).
