About the journal
|
This quarterly journal provides insightful discussion and original research on a broad range of housing and community development issues. Regularly divided into three sections, Housing Policy Debate features informative debates through expert articles and responding comments (Forum), policy analysis and research (Articles), and ideas on issues in housing, community development, and finance (Current Issues). Work published in the Forum and Articles sections undergoes a double-blind review by the Fannie Mae Foundation Research Advisory Board members and other scholars.
The ISI Journal of Citation Reports ranked Housing Policy Debate number one for its high level of influence in the field of urban studies.

Kristopher M. Rengert
Managing Editor, Housing Policy Debate
Fannie Mae Foundation

General
Please submit three hard copies of your manuscript, double spaced, along with an electronic copy on a 3.5-inch diskette in MS Word or WordPerfect (version 6.0 or higher preferred). Also, if it’s available, please submit a blinded (i.e., without the author name, affiliation, and telephone number) PDF file of your manuscript. Tables and figures will be accepted in any type of software (for details please see the subheading Preferred File Formats, under Tables and Figures, later in this guide), but they must be accompanied by camera-ready printed copies. For figures plotted to data points, include printed and electronic copies of the data points so the figure can be accurately generated. Label your disk as follows: type of software and the version (name and/or number) used; date of the manuscript; author name(s); and title of manuscript. The hard copy you provide must exactly match the electronic version; also, please be sure that you send us the most recent draft.
Because manuscripts may undergo a blind review, submit two title pages, the first showing
- title of the manuscript
- author name, affiliation, and telephone number
- date of the manuscript
and a second containing only the title of the paper.
Authors may use the first-person singular in their manuscripts; however, a single author should not refer to himself or herself as “we.?/p>
The style used by the Housing Research division of the Fannie Mae Foundation is based on The Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) (14th edition).
Biography
The manuscript should include, on a separate page or the “first?title page described in the section above, a sentence listing each author’s name, title, and affiliation. (If an author’s affiliation changes after the paper is submitted and before it is published, the new affiliation can be added [showing the old one as well if it is important] or substituted when the author reviews the edited copy or the page proofs.)
Acknowledgments
Generally, we do not include acknowledgments to the Fannie Mae Foundation as a research sponsor. Acknowledgments to individual staff members are acceptable. Any acknowledgments should follow the biographical information. Any disclaimers should also be in this paragraph, following the acknowledgments.
Abstract
Include a two-paragraph abstract not exceeding 150 words and place it on the first page of the text. In the first paragraph of the abstract, describe the issue(s) or question(s) the paper addresses. In the second paragraph, state the major findings or conclusions.
Keywords
To help users reference the Fannie Mae Foundation=s published research, keywords are included with journal articles. Please select three or four keywords from the attached list that best describe the topic(s) covered in your article and place them immediately after the abstract.
Abbreviations
Be sure that all abbreviations and acronyms are defined fully and correctly at first mention in the manuscript.
Text Headings
Headings are not numbered and are placed flush left. The first word of the heading is capitalized, but all other words (except for proper nouns) are lower case. First-level headings are bold; second-level headings are italic; and third-level headings are italic with a period that leads directly into text.
Examples:
First-level heading
Second-level heading
Third-level heading. The text continues....
Tables and Figures
Use arabic numerals to number tables and figures consecutively in separate series in order of appearance. Include a brief descriptive title at the top of each and, separately, one or more sentences explaining the table or figure so the reader can understand it without referring to the text. Tables and figures should be in separate electronic files, not integrated into the text file. The text must contain a reference (or a callout) to each table or figure. Any abbreviations in the tables and figures (including NA) must be defined. For very large or very small numbers, use scientific notation (e.g., 3.6 H 10!9), not computer-programming notation (e.g., 3.6E-09). Please provide camera-ready paper copies of all figures and illustrations. Also provide paper and electronic copies of data points for figures plotted to points.
Preferred File Formats
The following is a short list of acceptable file types, in order of preference. Please keep in mind that this list is by no means exhaustive; if you have questions about whether we can support a particular file type that is not listed below, please contact Kathy Litzenberg at 202-274-8192 or klitzenberg@fanniemaefoundation.org.
1. Application Files—Primarily MS Word, WordPerfect, or Excel files. Charts and graphs should be pre-generated from the data in the spreadsheet, and saved under a separate worksheet tab. We can also accept Adobe PhotoShop and Illustrator files; please contact the Publications Editor to learn which version(s) we can support.
2. Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files.
3. Bitmap (BMP) files. This type of file is best for line art. For maximum readability, the resolution should be 1200 dpi.
4. TIFF files. These files work well for images with shading or grayscale, halftone, and photographs. They may not, however, generate a “clean?edge for rules, borders, and lines. Minimum resolution for publication is 300 dpi.
5. JPG or JPEG files. These files also work well with grayscale, halftone, and photographic images, but generally will not show rules, borders, and other fine lines cleanly.
Notes in Tables and Figures
If tables and figures require notes, the order of placement is as follows:
Source: Tabulations of the American Housing Survey.
Note: Method is based on straight line depreciation.
a Nonfamily housing.
b Family housing.
*p < 0.1. **p < 0.01. ***p < 0.001.
Source Notes. If you draw tabular and other material from other sources, be sure to include these sources in the references and obtain copyright permission from the source if necessary. Use a short form of the reference in the Source note: name of the author or agency and date. When there are two works by the same author or agency in the same year in the references, they will be differentiated by a lowercase letter after the date (e.g., 1991a, 1991b) and should be correspondingly indicated in the Source note. Where tabular and other material is based on your original work, so indicate in the text or in a note to the editor. Such material does not need a Source note.
General Notes. Do not use a footnote when referring to a table or figure in its entirety. Such information should be given after the word Note followed by a colon. Footnotes should follow the general note.
Footnotes. Superscript lowercase roman letters are used to indicate footnotes to tables (and, in rare cases, footnotes to figures). If there is only one footnote, an asterisk is used (unless are being used to indicate significance, in which case a superscript a should be used).
Significance Notes. In tables reporting statistical results, levels of probability are indicated by asterisks one asterisk for the highest probability (lowest significance), two for the next highest, ans so on. If multiple tables have significance notes, a particular number of asterisks should correspond to the same probability level throughout the article, and the significance notes should be the same in all tables.
aNon-family housing.
bFamily housing.
Equations
Make sure that all symbols in equations are clear and that all equations (except those in footnotes) are numbered. Single-letter variables should be italicized. Multiple-letter variables and abbreviations (e.g., AGE) and functions (e.g., exp, min, ln) should not be italicized; neither should numbers, parentheses, or math operations. Vectors and matrices should be in bold (not italicized). Examples:
Footnotes
Footnotes are numbered consecutively within each article, using superscript Arabic numerals. Footnotes may be used for explanatory information but not strictly for references. We do not use endnotes.
Appendixes
Appendixes are placed at the end of articles, immediately before the author note and references. If there is more than one appendix, they should be labeled Appendix A, Appendix B, and so on. Within an appendix, figures and tables should be labeled to indicate that they belong to a particular appendix (e.g., table A.1, table B.2, figure A.1).
References
The manuscript must include complete and accurate citations of all materials referenced in the manuscript that are not of your original authorship. Please double-check your references to ensure that names and dates are accurate and that there are no discrepancies between the text and the reference list.
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES
- The reference section should be alphabetical by author and unnumbered, and placed at the end of the article.
- Citations must follow the author-date system (see the examples below or CMS).
- All (author-date) references in text must be supported by full references in the reference list.
- Give authors' full first names (not just initials). (This is a variation on the CMS author-date style.)
- Include page numbers when citing a journal article or book chapter. Also, please be sure to include the volume and issue numbers when citing a journal article.
- When citing a paper presented at a conference, include the place, date, and conference title or sponsoring organization.
- Give sources for tables in as complete a form as possible in the reference list. If sources are pamphlets or loose-leaf updates, include them in the references nevertheless.
- When citing an Internet or World Wide Web site, include the last date the site was modified. If no "last modified" date is available, the access date may be used instead. If neither is available, the phrase may be omitted.
- Use initial-cap style for titles (capitalize the significant words: nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs). (This is a variation on CMS author-date style.)
