Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it under consideration by another journal (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in LaTeX, Microsoft Word, or PDF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is 1.5 spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

Author Guidelines

Types of Contributions

Academic articles (4,000–8,000 words, including a 150 word abstract and references; longer pieces may be accepted if exceptional): submissions in the form of an original article or a critical survey whose subject falls within one or more of the research domains covered by the Journal. Please see below for specific requirements for Organization and Style.

Critical comments (2,000–4,000 words): submissions will take the form of a focused response to an article, not necessarily published in the Journal. Comments should be written in such a way that they can be understood independently of the original article and in a style in keeping with the standards and ethos of scholarly debate. We are particularly interested in comments by philosophers on recent or classical economic papers and by economists on recent or classical philosophical papers. We are also open to short incisive pieces on ethical issues within the disciplines of philosophy and/or economics.

Into the Archives (an archival text together with an accompanying academic article): this submission has a 'paired format' and consists of two texts. Namely: (1) an (annotated) translation of an archival article previously unavailable in English or an (annotated) previously unpublished manuscript written in the English language; and (2) a research article of standard length (4,000–8,000 words) that either introduces the (translated) archival text in its wider historical and intellectual context or that uses it to advance a novel—for example, philosophical, historical, or methodological—argument contributing to the relevant contemporary literature. Authors can contact the editors with proposals for this section; please include information about (1) the respective archival text; (2) (in case of translations) the ability of the author(s) to translate the text; (3) and a brief summary of the main argument or idea of the accompanying research article.

Book reviews (1,000–2,000 words): submissions should not be entitled except for complete bibliographical details of the work reviewed. Unsolicited book reviews will only be considered if the book falls clearly within the Journal's research domains and has been recently published (in the preceding 12–18 months). Book review essays, for example a thematic analysis of several books, will be considered as articles.

PhD thesis summaries (500–1,000 words): authors must have completed formal PhD graduation within the preceding 12 months with a thesis that clearly falls within the research interests of the Journal. Submissions should include the complete name of the author, full title of the thesis, (language of the thesis, if not English), official name of the University and academic department, date of thesis defence, and names and affiliations of the thesis supervisors.

Once you send us a contribution, one of the journal editors will be assigned to your paper and all further communication concerning your submission. You will receive an acknowledgement of your submission and you will be notified within a few weeks as to whether your paper has been passed on for peer review.

Guidelines on Organization and Style

Manuscripts accepted for publication must conform to the EJPE style, which is based on the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. Contributions need not be in this style when submitted, but after a text is accepted for publication the author is expected to make the appropriate changes. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in the eventual rejection of your manuscript.

  • Manuscripts should be written in English (in any consistent spelling convention).
  • All contributions should be submitted in Microsoft Word, LaTeX or PDF, using a 12-point font, and a 1.5 line-spacing. Avoid the use of page-breaks, section-breaks, and automatic spacing between paragraphs in the document.
  • Articles should include an abstract of up to 150 words, and a list of up to 6 keywords suitable for on-line searching purposes.
  • Jargon, acronyms, and abbreviations should be used only after identifying the complete name once, and preferably kept to a minimum.
  • Use a single (not double) space after a full stop.
  • (Brief) acknowledgements should be added as a footnote on the first page.
  • Authors of articles are requested to avoid any obvious self-references within the text, footnotes, and document properties in the initial submission, to support the blind review process.

References, Quotations, and Footnotes

  • Citations should appear within the main text as (author year, page number), e.g. (Schelling 1978, 59).
  • Citations of works by two authors should include both names separated by "and", then the year, e.g. (Morgan and Morrison 1999). Use "et al." after the first name when there are four or more authors, e.g. (Heap et al. 1992).
  • Short quotations of less than four lines should be in double quotation marks, and followed by a bracketed reference, for example: "The two dogmas are, indeed, at root identical" (Quine 1953, 41).
  • Extended quotations of four lines or more should be indented (0.75 cm), single spaced, without quotation marks, and separated from the rest of the text by an additional line.
  • Conventions such as "ibid" or "op. cit." should not be used.
  • Substantive footnotes should be denoted by Arabic numbers and included at the bottom of the page.
  • Footnotes should not be used for citations and should not be excessive.
  • Articles and Book Reviews should include a complete bibliography at the end of the document, detailing every work actually cited in the text in the style illustrated below. Note: Do not use "et al." in the bibliography unless the number of authors is more than ten: spell out each author's name, including first name if known. If the number of authors is ten or more, list the first seven followed by “et al.”.
