About the journal
The Journal of Agrarian Change is a journal of agrarian political economy. It promotes investigation of the social relations and dynamics of production, property and power in agrarian formations and their processes of change, both historical and contemporary. It encourages work within a broad interdisciplinary framework, informed by theory, and serves as a forum for serious comparative analysis and scholarly debate.
Contributions are welcomed from political economists, historians, anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, economists, geographers, lawyers, and others committed to the rigorous study and analysis of agrarian structure and change, past and present, in different parts of the world.
As well as original research, the journal features review articles and essays and a substantial book review section. Occasional special thematic issues are published.
Instructions to Authors
Submitting Papers
(i) Articles submitted to the journal should be original contributions and should not be under consideration for any other publication. Exceptions to this rule should be clearly indicated at the time of submission.
(ii) Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/joac. Full instructions and support are available on the site and a user ID and password can be obtained on the first visit. Support can be contacted by phone (+1 434 817 2040 ext. 167) Monday-Friday, or at http://mcv3support.custhelp.com.
(iii) While every care is taken, the Editors and Publisher cannot accept responsibility for loss of, or damage to, authors' manuscripts. Authors should keep at least one copy of their article. Unsolicited manuscripts cannot be returned.
Pre-submission English-language editing
Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
Length
There is no standard length for articles but 7,000-12,000 words (including notes and references) is a useful target. Longer articles will be considered where this seems justified. Authors should provide a total word count (for text, abstract, notes and references, i.e. the total size of the manuscript without figures and tables) at the time of submission.
Refereeing
The Journal of Agrarian Change is a refereed journal. Submissions are first read by the editors. They may be rejected without further review; those we wish to consider further are normally sent to external referees. We aim to give authors a decision within four months, though we cannot guarantee always to do so. That decision may be a conditional or unconditional acceptance, a rejection, or an invitation to revise and resubmit. We will only invite resubmission if we envisage publishing the paper providing appropriate changes are made. We will indicate to authors what changes we would like to see. Resubmitted papers are not sent out for a second round of external reviews.
Manuscript Preparation and Styling
(i) Manuscripts must be typewritten on one side only, and double spaced with ample margins throughout, including all quotations, notes and references. All pages should be numbered consecutively. We prefer page numbers centred at the bottom of the page.
(ii) Spelling: Use British and 'z' spellings: e.g. labour and organize.
(iii) The author's name should appear in capitals on the first page, centred underneath the title. The author's institutional affiliation and full address (or home address, where appropriate), along with the email address, should appear as an unnumbered footnote on the first page. Acknowledgements, if any, should also be made here.
(iv) Quotations of less that five lines in length should be included in the body of the text within single quotation marks; longer quotations should be indented as a separate paragraph and without quotation marks.
(v) The article should begin with an indented and italicized abstract of between 100 and 150 words, summarizing the content of the article. The author should also supply a list of between 3 and 5 key words underneath the abstract.
(vi) Tables, figures and maps should be kept to a minimum. Authors should provide camera-ready artwork on separate pages for all of these. Heading, sources and notes will be set separately; please provide typed in journal style. Sources should be given in full for tables, maps and figures. As artwork cannot be corrected at proof stage, double check for accuracy, especially spelling and totals. Technical matter should be kept to a minimum, including equations. Symbols or Greek letters must be absolutely clear.
(vii) Subheadings: main subheadings should be in capital letters, ranged left above the section; sub-subheadings should have capital letters only for major words, and be italicized and ranged left above the section. Third-level subheadings should be italicized at the beginning of the paragraph where they appear, and be typed with a capital letter only for the first word.
(viii)Footnotes rather than endnotes are used. Such notes should be numbered sequentially throughout the text.
Styling References
(i) The author-date style, rather than the humanities style, of citing references is followed. References should be inserted at the appropriate place in the text in round brackets stating author's surname publication date of work cited, and relevant pages, in the following form: (Breman 1996, 22-3) (Patnaik 1986, 152-3). Note that abbreviations for editor, compiler, and translator are omitted from the text citations. If reference is made to more than one work in the same year by the author, a lower case letter should be used to distinguish them: (Scott 1974a) (Scott 1974b). Where there are two authors 'and' rather than an ampersand should be used: i.e. (Aston and Philpin) rather than (Aston & Philpin).
(ii) A reference list should appear at the end of the paper, containing all the works cited, listed alphabetically by author's surname (or by name of sponsoring body where there is no identifiable author). This should be titled References, and should be in capitals and centred. Please ensure that all works cited in the text are listed, with the same spelling of names, and that they are in correct alphabetical order. References should be set out as follows. Note especially punctuation and the flush-and-hang style, with the full information they illustrate.

Book Reviews
(i) Book reviews should be headed with the reviewer's name, in capitals. Beneath the reviewer's name, and ranged to the right, should come full publication information, in the following form:
The Peasantries of Europe: From the Fourteenth to the Eighteenth Centuries, by Tom Scott (ed.). London and New York: Longman. 1998. Pp. xi+416. ?44 (hb); ?9.99 (pb). ISBN 0-582-10132-8 and 0-582-10131-X
(ii) The reviewer's institutional affiliation should appear (ranged to the left) as an unnumbered footnote on the first page of the review. Acknowledgements, if any, should also be made there. Book reviews should be submitted on disc (as above).
Accepted Papers
Once a paper has been accepted for publication, the author must provide us with a final text that conforms exactly to the above guidelines on disc plus two hard copies of that final text. Papers that do not meet these guidelines will be returned to authors for correction.
Author Services
NEW: Online production tracking is now available for your article through Blackwell's Author Services.
Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
Proofs and Publication
(i) The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to a web site. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following web site: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.
This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Hard copy proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available. Excessive changes made by the author in the proofs, excluding typesetting errors, will be charged separately.
No substantive changes or additions are allowed at proof stage. When reading proofs, authors must make a final check of their article for content, style, proper names, quotations and references, and check especially consistency of: capitalization, use of italics, hyphenation (minimal use of these is preferable), and spelling (e.g. of place names), and that there is no missing or duplicated numbering of footnotes.
(ii) Each contributor will receive a PDF offprint of his/her article or book review. Contributors of articles will also receive one copy of the journal issue in which that article appears.
Exclusive Licence Form.
Authors will be required to sign an Exclusive Licence Form (ELF) for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the ELF is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received. Please note that signature of the Exclusive Licence Form does not affect ownership of copyright in the material. (Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned). After submission authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various media/circumstances (please see the form for further details). To assist authors an appropriate form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form here.
(ii) The author is obliged to obtain all necessary permissions for any parts of his/her article (figures, tables, illustrations, quotations etc.) the copyright of which is owned by someone else. The author should obtain permission for reproduction in all formats including electronic media. Payment of any fees is the responsibility of the author.
