Further information about the journal, including links to the online sample copy and contents pages, can be found on the journal homepage.

Submission of manuscripts
All submissions should be made online at the Review of Social Economy Manuscript Central site. New users (either in an Author or Reviewer capacity) should first create an account. Please note that once you have created an account as an author, you will also be able to use the same login details should you be asked to peer review a paper. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre. Authors should submit their paper with author name omitted for double-blind review.

Should you have any problems with online submission please contact the corresponding editor, Wilfred Dolfsma.

Submissions should be in English and typed in double spacing (including all notes and references). English or American spelling can be used as long as it is consistent but American punctuation must be used.

Submission of a paper to a journal will be taken to imply that it presents original, unpublished, work not under consideration for publication elsewhere. By submitting a manuscript, the author(s) agree that the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article have been given to the Association for Social Economics.

Permission to quote from or reproduce copyright material must be obtained by the author(s) before submission and any acknowledgments should be included in the typescript, preferably in the form of an Acknowledgments section at the end of the paper. Where photographs or figures are reproduced, acknowledgment of source and copyright should be given in the caption.

An abstract of the paper, of up to 150 words should precede the article. In addition a list of up to 5 key words, suitable for indexing and abstracting services, should follow the abstract.

Articles should not exceed 7500 words inclusive of notes, references and illustrations. Longer articles may be considered, although the contribution-to-length ratio of papers more than 7500 words long should be correspondingly high.

Notes should be kept to a minimum and will be reproduced as footnotes.

Illustrations
Tables and figures should not be inserted within the pages of the manuscript but should be submitted on separate pages at the end of the article, and as seperate electronic files. All captions for figures (including sources and acknowledgements) should be listed on a separate page.

Tables should be prepared with the minimum use of horizontal rules (usually three are sufficient) and avoiding vertical rules. It is important to provide clear copy of the figures which can be easily reproduced. Photographs should be high-resolution black and white images.

The desired position in the text for each table and figure should be indicated in the manuscript. For example, at the end of a paragraph near the illustration, use a separate line to add [Table 1 about here].

References The Harvard reference system, preferred in this journal, uses the name of the author, the date of publication and, following quoted material, the page reference, as a key to the full bibliographic details set out in the list of references - e.g. "Many composers have attempted to return to this state of childhood" (Swanwick 1988:56); several authors have noted this trend (Smith 1970; Jones and Cook 1968; Dobbs et al. 1973). (N.B. et al. to be used when there are three or more authors.)

The date of publication cited must be the date of the source referred to; when using a republished book, a translation or a modern version of an older edition, however, the date of the original publication may also be given. Where there are two or more works by one author in the same year, these should be distinguished by using 1980a, 1980b, etc.

The reference list should include every work cited in the text. Please ensure that dates, spelling and titles used in the text are consistent with those listed in the References.

The content and form of the reference list should conform to the following examples. Please note that page numbers are required for articles, both place of publication and name of publisher should be given for books and, where relevant, translator and date of first publication should be noted. Do not use et al. in the reference list; spell out each author's full name or surname and initials.

Book/Multiple author:
Gordon, D., Edwards, R. and Reich, M. (1982) Segmented Work, Divided Workers, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

Notes on Style
Justification of text: Use unjustified mode. Leave the right margin ragged and avoid word divisions and hyphens at the ends of lines. Only insert hard returns at the end of paragraphs and headings.

Punctuation
Use a single (not a double) space after a period, and after commas, colons, semicolons, etc. Do not put a space in front of a question mark, or in front of any other closing quotation mark.

Spelling
American spelling is preferred (analyze, realize, labor, defense).

Initial capitalization
Please keep capitalization to a minimum. When possible, use lowercase for government, church, state, party, volume etc.; north, south, etc. are only capitalized if used as part of a recognized place name e.g. Western Australia, South Africa; use lower case for general terms e.g. eastern France, southwest of Berlin

Periods
Use periods after abbreviations (p.m., e.g., i.e., etc.) and contractions where the end of the word is cut (p., ed., ch.). Periods should also be used in acronyms (U.S.A., B.B.C., N.A.T.O.), after contractions which end in the last letter of the word (Dr., Mr., St., edn.) and after metric units (cm., m., km., kg.).

Italics
Extensive use of italics, underlining, or bold face for emphasis should be avoided. 

Quotations
Use double quotation marks for quoted material within the text; single quotation marks should only be used for quotes within quotes. Do not use leader dots at the beginning or end of a quotation unless the sense absolutely demands. For ellipsis within a quotation use three leader dots for a mid-sentence break, four if the break is followed by a new sentence. Quotations of over forty words should be extracted and indented and no quotation marks used.

Numerals
In general spell out numbers under 100; but use numerals for measurements (e.g. 12 km.) and ages (e.g. 10 years old). Insert a comma for both thousands and tens of thousands (e.g. 1,000 and 20,000). Always use the maximum number of figures for ranged numbers and dates, e.g. 22-24, 105-106, 1966-67, 112-13, 1914-18. Use the percentage sign only in figures and tables; spell out "percent" in the text using a numeral for the number (e.g. 84 percent).

Dates
Set out as follows: 8 July 1990 (no comma), on 8 July, or on the 8th; 1990s (not spelled out, no apostrophe); nineteenth century (not 19th century) and insert hyphen when used adjectivally (e.g. nineteenth-century art).

Em dashes
Unspaced em-dash will be used as opposed to spaced en rules for parenthetical dashes. Since there is no em-dash on a standard keyboard, use a double hyphen for em dashes; also use these in cases requiring an unspaced en-dash, for example, to link number spans (e.g. 24--28); to connect two items linked in a political context (e.g. "Labour--Liberal alliance", "Rome--Berlin axis") and to link the names of joint authors (e.g. Temple--Hardcastle project).

Proofs
Authors are expected to correct proofs quickly and any alteration to the original text is strongly discouraged. Authors should correct typesetter's errors in red; minimal alterations of their own should be in black.
