About the journal
The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the study and management of ``nature's household' (ecology) and ``humankind's household' (economics). This integration is necessary because conceptual and professional isolation have led to economic and environmental policies which are mutually destructive rather than reinforcing in the long term. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open.
Specific research areas covered include: valuation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture and development, ecologically integrated technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales from local to regional to global, implications of thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource management and conservation, critical assessments of the basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions, economic and ecological consequences of genetically engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and management, alternative principles for valuing natural wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental services into national income and wealth accounts, methods of implementing efficient environmental policies, case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony, etc. New issues in this area are rapidly emerging and will find a ready forum in Ecological Economics.

Instructions to Authors
Submission of Manuscripts
Physical Form of Submission: Ecological Economics prefers that authors submit their work in Microsoft Word of PDF files. We also prefer that all text, figures, tables and references are contained in one file; however, we will also except separate files in the following formats for tables and graphics: Excel, PowerPoint, JPEG, and TIF. Additionally, large filed may be compresses into a zip file.
Method of Submission: Ecological Economics strongly encourages authors to submit their work in electronic form. Authors should follow the file format guidelines listed above and submit their papers via e-mail as an attachment to Terri Perrier at tperrier@bu.edu
For authors who do not have access to electronic technology, submit a cover letter and one original paper copy of the manuscript, accompanied by a copy on 3 1/2 inch disk, preferably in Microsoft Word or PDF format (see other acceptable formats above). If your file cannot be put in one of these formats, please submit one original and three hard copies of the manuscript. Enclose the original illustrations and three sets of photocopies (four prints of any photographs). Label the disk with the name of the file on the disk.
Send all submissions, inquiries and other electronic communications to tperrier@bu.edu
Manuscript Guidelines
1. Manuscripts are to be written in English. Authors whose native language is not English are advised to seek the help of an English-speaking colleague, if possible, before submitting their manuscripts.
2. Manuscripts should fall into one of five categories: News and Views, Commentary, Surveys, Methodological and Ideological Options or Analysis.
News and Views are intended to be topical and timely short pieces reviewed by the editor and/or one outside reviewer at the editor's discretion. These may include editorials, letters to the editor, news items, and policy discussions. Letters to the Editor should not contain references to personalities, but rather focus on ideas. Maximum 1500 words (600 words for letters).
Commentaries are essays discussing critical issues. They are reviewed by three outside reviewers with the criteria weighted toward quality of the exposition and importance of the issue. 4000 words or 12 double-spaced pages.
Surveys examine and review important general subject areas. They are reviewed by three outside reviewers with the criteria weighted toward importance of the subject and clarity of exposition. 8000 words or 25 double-spaced pages.
Manuscripts devoted to Methodological and Ideological Options develop new methodologies or investigate the implications of various ideological assumptions. They are reviewed by three outside reviewers with criteria weighted toward originality and potential usefulness of the methodology or ideological option. These should not exceed 8000 words or 25 double-spaced pages.
Research articles devoted to analysis of important questions in the field are reviewed by three outside reviewers with the criteria weighted toward originality, quality, accuracy of the analysis, and importance of the question. Maximum 8000 words or 25 double-spaced pages.
Reviews of recent books in the field are reviewed by one outside reviewer with criteria weighted toward clarity and accuracy of the review and importance of the book to the field. The maximum length for book reviews is 1200 words or 4 double-spaced pages. Letters to the Editor should be less than 2 pages of 600 words.
3. Manuscripts, book reviews and letters to the Editor should be typewritten, typed on one side of the paper (if possible with numbered lines), with wide margins and double spacing throughout. The same applies for abstracts, footnotes and references. Every page of the manuscript, including the title page, references and tables, should be numbered in the upper right-hand corner. However, in the text no reference should be made to page numbers; if necessary, one may refer to sections. Underline words that should be in italics, and do not underline any other words. Avoid excessive usage of italics to emphasize part of the text.
4. Manuscripts in general should be organized in the following order:
Title (should be clear, descriptive and not too long)
Name(s) of author(s)
Affiliation(s)
Present address(es) of author(s)
Complete correspondence address to which the proofs should be sent, including fax number and e-mail address.
Any (short) additional information concerning research grants, etc., may be included on the title page under the address(es). If this information is long, please include it in the text, either at the end of the introduction or in a separate acknowledgment section preceding the references.
Abstract
Key words (four to six)
Introduction
Material studied, area descriptions, methods, techniques
Results
Discussion
Conclusion
Acknowledgments
References
Tables
Figure captions
5. In typing the manuscript, titles and subtitles should not run within the text. They should be typed on a separate line, without indentation. Use lower-case lettertype.
6. SI units should be used.
7. If a special instruction to the copy editor or typesetter is written on the copy, it should be encircled. The typesetter will then know that the enclosed matter is not to be set in type. When a typewritten character may have more than one meaning (e.g., the lower case letter l may be confused with the numeral 1), a note should be inserted in a circle in the margin to make the meaning clear to the typesetter. If Greek letters or uncommon symbols are used in the manuscript, they should be written very clearly, and if necessary a note such as "Greek lower-case chi" should be put in the margin and encircled.
8. Elsevier reserves the privilege of returning to the author for revision accepted manuscripts and illustrations that are not in the proper form given in this guide.
Abstracts
The abstract should be clear, descriptive and not longer than 400 words.
Tables
1. Authors should take notice of the limitations set by the size and layout of the journal. Large tables should be avoided. Reversing columns and rows will often reduce the dimensions of a table.
2. If many data are to be presented, an attempt should be made to divide them over two or more tables.
3. Drawn tables, from which blocks need to be made, should not be folded.
4. Tables should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. The text should include reference to all tables.
5. Each table should be typewritten on a separate page of the manuscript. Tables should never be included in the text.
6. Each table should have a brief and self-explanatory title.
7. Column headings should be brief, but sufficiently explanatory. Standard abbreviations of units of measurement should be added between parentheses.
8. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns; leave some extra space between the columns instead.
9. Any explanation essential to the understanding of the table should be given as a footnote at the bottom of the table.
Illustrations
1. All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) should be submitted separately, unmounted and not folded.
2. Illustrations should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. References should be made in the text to each illustration.
3. Each illustration should be identified on the reverse side (or, in the case of line drawings, on the lower front side) by its number and the name of the author. An indication of the top of the illustrations is required in photographs of profiles, thin sections, and other cases where doubt can arise.
4. Illustrations should be designed with the format of the page of the journal in mind. Illustrations should be of such a size as to allow a reduction of 50%.
5. Lettering should be in Indian ink or by printed labels. Make sure that the size of the lettering is big enough to allow a reduction of 50% without becoming illegible. The lettering should be in English. Use the same kind of lettering throughout. Follow the style of the journal.
6. If a scale should be given, use bar scales on all illustrations instead of numerical scales that must be changed with reduction.
7. Each illustration should have a caption. The captions to all illustrations should be typed on a separate sheet of the manuscript.
8. Explanations should be given in the typewritten legend. Drawn text in the illustration should be kept to a minimum.
9. Photographs are only acceptable if they have good contrast and intensity. Sharp and glossy copies are required. Reproductions of photographs already printed cannot be accepted.
10. Color illustrations cannot usually be included, unless the cost of their reproduction is paid for by the author.
References
1. All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of authors' names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list.
2. In the text refer to the author's name (without initial)and year of publication, followed, if necessary, by a short reference to appropriate pages. Examples: "Since Peterson (1989) has shown that...". "This is in agreement with results obtained later (Kramer, 1992, pp. 12-16)".
3. If reference is made in the text to a publication written by more than two authors, the name of the first author should be used followed by "et al." This indication, however, should never be used in the list of references. In this list, names of first author and co-authors should be mentioned.
4. References cited together in the text should be arranged chronologically. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically on authors' names, and chronologically per author. If an author's name in the list is also mentioned with co-authors, the following order should be used: publications of the single author, arranged according to publication dates; publications of the same author with one co-author; publications of the author with more than one co-author. Publications by the same author(s) in the same year should be listed as 1974a, 1974b,etc.
5. Use the following system for arranging your references:
For periodicals
Ayres, R.U., 1993. Cowboys, cornucopians and long-run sustainability. Ecol. Econ., 8:189-207.
For edited symposia, special issues, etc., published in a periodical
Reiche, E.-W., 1993. Modelling water and nitrogen dynamics on catchment scale. In: B. Breckling and F. M¨¹ller (Editors), State-of-the-Art in Ecological Modelling. Ecol. Model., 75/76; 371-384.
For books
Ahmad, Y., El Serafy, S. and Lutz, E. (Editors), 1989. Environmental Accounting for Sustainable Development. The World Bank, Washington, DC, 100 pp.
For multi-author books
Daly, H.E., 1991. Ecological economics and sustainable development. In: C. Rossi and E. Tiezzi (Editors), Ecological Physical Chemistry. Elsevier, Amsterdam, pp. 185-201.
For unpublished reports, departmental notes, etc.
Goodland, R.,Daly, H.E. and El Serafy, S., 1991. Environmentally Sustainable Economic Development: Building on Brundtland. Environment Working Paper No. 46, World Bank, Washington, DC.
6. Do not abbreviate the titles of periodicals mentioned in the list of references; alternatively use the International List of Periodical Title Word Abbreviations.
7. In the case of publications in any language other than English, the original title is to be retained. However,the titles of publications in non-Latin alphabets should be transliterated, and a notation such as "(in Russian)" or"(in Greek, with English abstract)" should be added.
8. In referring to a personal communication, the two words are followed by the year, e.g., "(J. McNary, personal communication,1992)".
Formulae
1. Formulae should be typewritten,if possible. Leave ample space around the formulae.
2. Subscripts and superscripts should be clear.
3. Greek letters and other non-Latin or handwritten symbols should be explained in the margin where they are first used. Take special care to show clearly the difference between zero(0) and the O, and between one (1) and the l.
4. Give the meaning of all symbols immediately after the equation in which they are first used.
5. For simple fractions, use the solidus (/)instead of a horizontal line, e.g.,Ip/2m
rather than Ip-2m
6. Equations should be numbered serially at the right-hand side in parentheses. In general only equations explicitly referred to in the text need be numbered.
7. The use of fractional powers instead of root signs is recommended. Also, powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp.
8. Levels of statistical significance which can be mentioned without further explanation are * P<0.05, **P<0.01 and *** P<0.001.
9. In chemical formulae, valence of ions should be given as, e.g., Ca2+and CO2-3 not as Ca++ or CO--3.
10. Isotope numbers should precede the symbols, e.g., 13O.
11. The repeated writing of chemical formulae in the text is to be avoided where reasonably possible; instead, the name of the compound should be given in full. Exceptions may be made in the case of a very long name occurring very frequently or in the case of a compound being described as the end product of a gravimetric determination (e.g., phosphate as P2O5).
Please refer to Author Instructions in the journal to clarify details for formulae.
Footnotes
1. Footnotes should only be used if absolutely essential. In most cases it will be possible to incorporate the information in normal text.
2. If used, they should be numbered in the text, indicated by superscript numbers, and kept as short as possible.
Nomenclature
1. Authors and editors are, by general agreement, obliged to accept the rules governing biological nomenclatureas laid down in the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria, and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
2. All biotica (crops, plants, insects, birds, mammals, etc.) should be identified by their scientific names when the English term is first used, with the exception of common domestic animals.
3. All biocides and other organic compounds must be identified by their Geneva names when first used in the text.
4. For chemical nomenclature, the conventions of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and the official recommendations of the IUPAC-IUB Combined Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature should be followed.
Copyright
1. When quoting from someone else's work or when considering reproducing an illustration or table from a book or journal article, the author should make sure that he is not infringing a copyright.
2. Although in general an author may quote from other published works, he should obtain permission from the holder of the copyright if he wishes to make substantial extracts or to reproduce tables, plates, or other illustrations. If the copyright-holder is not the author of the quoted or reproduced material, it is recommended that the permission of the author should also be sought.
3. Material in unpublished letters and manuscripts is also protected and must not be published unless permission has been obtained.
4. A suitable acknowledgment of any borrowed material must always be made.
Proofs
1. Copy editing of manuscripts is performed by the staff of Elsevier. The author is asked to check the galley proofs for typographical errors and to answer queries from the copy editor.
2. Elsevier, at its discretion, is entitled to recover from the author of any paper or report published in Ecological Economics, any cost occasioned by alterations made by the author in the printer's proofs other than correction of typesetting errors and essential additions which update information in the paper; the latter preferably as sentences at the end of existent paragraphs or as new paragraphs.
Offprints
1. Twenty-five offprints will be supplied free of charge.
2. Additional offprints can be ordered on a offprint order form which is included with the proofs.
3. UNESCO coupons are acceptable in payment of extra offprints.
Acceptance of manuscripts
Submission of an article is understood to imply that the article is original and unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Upon acceptance of an article by Ecological Economics, the author(s) will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to Elsevier Science. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
Authors can also keep a track on the progress of their accepted article, and set up e-mail alerts informing them of changes to their manuscript's status, by using the "Track a Paper" feature of Elsevier's Author Gateway.
