IAER Manuscript Style Instructions

Manuscript Submission  

Authors should submit manuscripts including figures in electronic form using an internet-based review and tracking system called Editorial Manager (EM). You first need to register on the system by going to https://www.editorialmanager.com/iaer/. New Authors must click the Register button from the menu and enter the requested information. An e-mail will then be sent to the author to verify the registration and assign a username and password. DO NOT REGISTER AGAIN. Just log in to the system as Author. If you forget your password, click the “Login” button, and click “Send Username/Password.” Enter your e-mail address and click the “Send Username and Password” button. If there is an e-mail match in the system, an e-mail containing your username and password will be sent to you shortly.

The IAER maintains a double blind review system, that is, the reviewers and authors are unknown to each other.

Springer prefers articles submitted in word processing packages such as MS Word running under operating systems MS DOS, Windows, and Apple Macintosh. PDF is not an acceptable file format.

Submission Fee

If your paper was presented at an IAES conference within the last three months, no submission fee is due. Otherwise, a submission fee for full-length manuscripts of $80 for IAES members and $130 for nonmembers must be received before further processing of the manuscript can take place. The submission fee for Research Notes is $45 for IAES members and $65 for nonmembers. Please pay online at http://www.iaes.org/publications/iaer/iaer_payment.htm
or mail your check payable on a U.S. bank to the journal’s offices:

Manuscript Presentation

The journal's language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Limit the paper to no more than 20 pages (font-size: 12pt., with 1−inch margins), including references, footnotes, tables, figures, and appendices. Double-space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left−hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations as well as for words or phrases used in a special sense.

Symbols and Units

Any numerical results in dimensional form should be presented in standard U.S. units (e.g., inches; feet; 6.34, not 6,34; 5,498.26, not 5.498,26).

Figures and Tables

Each figure and table should be numbered, titled, and referred to in the text. The title should describe the content of the table or figure in as few words as possible using the following format:

TABLE 1
Title of Table
 (Table)

 

Submission of electronic figures

Electronic figures should be in either Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or TIFF format. Many other formats, e.g., Microsoft Postscript, PiCT (Macintosh) and WMF (Windows), cannot be used.

Label the axes by title rather than by notation (e.g., “Price,” not “p”; “Quantity,” not “q”). Use Press or Times Roman type style. Please try to provide artwork that approximately fits within the typeset area of the journal. Figures in color are not allowed and must be submitted in black-and-white. Grey and half-tones are not acceptable.

Figures should be saved in the manuscript with their captions. For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than 0.25 pts and in−fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10%. Font−related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman and Helvetica. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format but EPS is also acceptable. The following resolution is optimal: black−and−white line figures − 600 − 1200 dpi. Higher resolutions will not improve output quality but will only increase file size, which may cause problems with printing; lower resolutions may compromise output quality.

AVOIDING PROBLEMS WITH EPS GRAPHICS

Please always check whether the figures print correctly to a PostScript printer in a reasonable amount of time. If they do not, simplify your figures or use a different graphics program.

If EPS export does not produce acceptable output, try to create an EPS file with the printer driver (see below). This option is unavailable with the Microsoft driver for Windows NT, so if you run Windows NT, get the Adobe driver from the Adobe site ( www.adobe.com). If EPS export is not an option, e.g., because you rely on OLE and cannot create separate files for your graphics, it may help us if you simply provide a PostScript dump of the entire document.

HOW TO SET UP FOR EPS AND POSTSCRIPT DUMPS UNDER WINDOWS

Create a printer entry specifically for this purpose: install the printer “Apple Laserwriter Plus” and specify “FILE:” as printer port. Each time you send something to the “printer” you will be asked for a filename. This file will be the EPS file or PostScript dump that we can use.

The EPS export option can be found under the PostScript tab. EPS export should be used only for single−page documents. For printing a document of several pages, select “Optimize for portability” instead. The option “Download header with each job” should be checked.

Section Headings

Do not number section headings or subheadings. Put headings in bold face type and subheadings in italics.

Appendices

Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Reference section.

Notes

Please use footnotes rather than endnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page. In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table.

Cross−Referencing

In the text, a reference identified by means of an author's name should be followed by the date of the reference in parenthesis and page number(s) where appropriate. Place the citation at the end of the sentence or before the quoted matter. When there are more than two authors, only the first author's name should be mentioned, followed by “et al.”. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like “a” and “b” after the date to distinguish the works.

Examples:

Spengler (1978, p. 20) stated in his article that…
This analysis has received attention in the literature (Spengler & Spengler, 1986a, b).
This analysis has received attention in the literature (Spengler, 1986; Spengler et al., 1985).
This analysis has received attention in the literature (Abizadeh & Benarroch, 1996).

Acknowledgements

An acknowledgement of people, grants, and funds should be placed on the title page.

References

Moore, personal communication). Note that the journal titles should not be abbreviated.

Permissions

It is the responsibility of the author to obtain written permission for a quotation from unpublished material, or for all quotations in excess of 250 words in one extract or 500 words in total from any work still in copyright, and for the reprinting of figures, tables, or poems from unpublished or copyrighted material.
