guidelines for manuscripts
Submissions. Articles should be submitted to the editors via the internet site http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/oup/erae . A submitted article must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere, and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere unless rejected by the editors or withdrawn by the author. If part of the content of the paper has been used in another published, forthcoming or submitted paper or book, the editors should be informed and may request that copies of other publications or submitted publications are sent. Articles should be written in English. The editors reserve the right not to forward papers for review on the grounds of poor English or presentation. Reactions to articles previously published in the Review may be submitted; critical comments and suggestions are always welcome. Publishers and authors are invited to send books published in major languages for review to the book review editor. Anyone wishing to write a book review for the Review should contact the book review editor.

Editorial Board: A list of Editorial Board members can be found on the inside
cover the journal.
Refereeing process. New submissions are sent to three independent, anonymous reviewers, selected by Editorial Board members and the editor, for judgment on their appropriateness for publication in the Review. The recommendations of the refereeing panel are made known to the authors by the editor. Revised articles should be sent directly to the editor in the same way as first submissions. When an article has been accepted, the editor will inform the author(s) in which issue of the Review it will be published. On submission, an article receives a code number. This number should be quoted in all correspondence relating to the article.
Proofs. Proofs are sent to authors for proof reading and correction directly by the publisher and a date for return of proofs will be given; corrections arriving after the stated date will only be incorporated if time is available in the production schedule.
Length. Articles should not exceed 8,000 words or word-equivalents, including abstract, tables, figures and graphs. Shorter articles will also be considered. In assessing the contribution of tables and figures to the length of an article, note that a printed Review page contains about 475 words.
Presentation and layout. An abstract of no more than 100 words should precede the text of the article. The abstract should give a clear idea of the main conclusions of the article, the methods employed and some indication of the line of reasoning. Provide a maximum of 5 keywords below the summary.
General acknowledgements and background information to the article, such as sponsoring bodies of the research project, should appear on the title page of the manuscript. The name and affiliation of the author(s) should be given on the first page only to protect their anonymity in the reviewing process.
Texts should be divided into sections, each with number and section heading. Use no more than three grades of headings. Footnotes should appear at the end of the page in which they are inserted. Collect references, tables and figures, in that order, at the end of the manuscripts.
A translation of all foreign words should be included in parentheses, and acronyms should be spelt out in full in parentheses at their first appearance. Use single quotation marks and British English spelling throughout.
Use only essential mathematical notations and number formulae consecutively.
References are cited in the text by giving the name of the author/editor, year of publication and - in the case of quotations or an exact reference - the page number, all in parentheses, for example: (Swinnen, 1997: 12) or (Zeller et al., 1997). Postscript multiple entries by one author in the same year by a, b, c, etc., for example: (Koester, 1988a, b). The reference section should contain all works referred to in the text, and only those. They should be listed fully in alphabetical order of the author/editor with complete bibliographical details (including publisher and place of publication). Journal and book titles must be given in full. Page references must be given for articles in books and journals. References should conform to the following examples:
Book Swinnen, J. F. M. (ed.) (1997). Political Economy of Agrarian Reform in Central and Eastern Europe. Aldershot, UK: Ashgate.
Article in a book Steenkamp, J.-B. E. M. (1997). Dynamics in consumer behaviour with respect to agricultural and food products. In Wieringa, B., Tilburg, A. van, Grunert, K., Steenkamp, J.-B. E. M. and Wedel, M. (eds), Agricultural Marketing and Consumer Behaviour in a Changing World. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers, 143-188.
Article in a journal Monier-Dilhan, S. and Ossard, H. (1998). Producers' loss due to asymmetric information: An application to a specific case. European Review of Agricultural Economics 25: 155-169.
Dissertations, reports, conference papers Zeller, M., Schrieder, G., Braun, J. von and Heidhues, F. (1997). Rural Finance for Food Security for the Poor: Implications for Research and Policy. Food Policy Review 4, International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). Washington DC: IFPRI.
Tables should be numbered consecutively and their position in the text must be indicated. When submitting tables, consideration should be given to the limits imposed by the journal page size. Tables spread across double pages are difficult to read and typeset. Avoid vertical lines. Computer printouts are not acceptable. Type table column headings with an initial capital only.
Number figures consecutively and indicate their position in the text. Reproducible originals (camera-ready copy) of line drawings should be submitted. Type captions with an initial capital only.
Twenty-five offprints of each article will be sent to contributors free of charge. Additional off prints may be ordered, but they must be ordered prior to printing. State your address for proofs and off prints at the end of an article. It is important to keep the editor and/or the publisher informed of your current postal and e-mail addresses, and your telephone number.
