Authors will be required to assign copyright in their papers. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. An appropriate copyright assignment form can be found at the following address: http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/jors_caf.pdf
Manuscripts are assumed to be submitted for the exclusive consideration of the Journal of Regional Science. The style of the Journal should be followed as closely as possible.
The journal uses a double-blind review process. Referees are not identified to authors, and authors' names are not known to reviewers. The Editors strive to obtain three reviews of each manuscript submitted.
STYLE GUIDELINES FOR THE JOURNAL OF REGIONAL SCIENCE
1. NUMBER OF COPIES AND FORMAT
Please submit four copies of the manuscript, unless otherwise advised by the editors. The manuscript must be typed double-spaced and should not exceed 25 pages of text. This limit includes appendices but not tables, figures, and references. The general order of the components of a paper is first page, text, footnotes, references, appendices, tables, and figures. A manuscript need not be in JRS style when first submitted, but must be redone at a later stage if accepted for publication.
2. FIRST PAGE
The first page should include the title of the paper, name(s) of the author(s), full mailing addresses of the author(s), author e-mail address(es), an abstract, and any acknowledgments. The abstract should be in the style of those published in the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL), should contain no more than 100 words, and should include JEL categorization preferences.
3. TEXT
Subheadings. Major subsections should be flush to the left margin, and identified with Arabic numerals and capitalized headings (e.g., 1. INTRODUCTION). The next level of subsection should be denoted with a heading that is nonnumbered, flush left, and italicized (or underlined) with only the first letter of each word capitalized (the conventions of capitalization in titles should be maintained). The third tier of subsections should have a title that is similar in style to the previous level, except that it is indented, ends with a period, and is immediately followed by the beginning text of the first paragraph of the subsection.
Equations should be clearly separated from the text, centered, and numbered. Equation numbers should be within parentheses flush to the left margin. Equations to which later reference is made should be numbered consecutively throughout the text as Equation (x). Do not number equations to which no direct reference is made.
Footnotes. Keep the use of footnotes to a minimum. If it is necessary to use them, type them in the manuscript as double-spaced endnotes. They should be numbered consecutively throughout the text.
Mathematical Notation.
- Matrix and vector symbols should be set in boldface type or should be underlined with a wavy line. Do not italicize matrices or vectors. Please note that our typesetter is unable to print Greek letters in boldface, if these are used to denote matrices or vectors they should not be italicized.
- Scalars, elements of arrays, or other variables should be denoted in italics (except for those denoted by Greek letters) and not boldface type.
- Abbreviations for mathematical functions or notation, such as Max, Min, log, ln, e, cos, sin, tan, Var, Cov, Prob are not italicized.
- Ratios and fractions in text are denoted using a slash (x/y) as opposed to the horizontal bar that is used in displayed equations.
- Punctuation is to be avoided before and after displayed equations.
- Diagonal matrices should be denoted by ^ over the symbol of the vector to be diagonalized.
- Notationally, "ln" is preferred to "loge," and "e" is preferred to "exp."
- If more than one level of subscript or superscript is used, denote the various levels clearly. Likewise if both zero and the letter "oh" are used as subscripts or superscripts, ensure that the difference is apparent. The same is true for the number "one" and the letter "ell."
Numbers less than ten should be spelled out. Exceptions:
(1) percentages and decimal fractions
(2) numbers in a series containing one or more numbers greater than 10
(3) section, table, figure, and equation numbers
(4) dates
Within a single paragraph, numbers referring to a specific measure or type of item should be either all spelled out or all in numerals.
4. TABLES AND FIGURES
All tables and figures must be cited in the text. Pages on which tables and figures are typed should follow references and appendices.
Tables should be numbered consecutively through the entire text and each should be typed on sheets of paper not containing any of the text of the paper. Table footnotes should be identified by lower-case letters, not numbers. Table titles should be typed in the following style: TABLE 1: Title of Table (no period). Titles should appear above each table.
Figures. Prior to acceptance, figures that are simply in readable form may be submitted. They should be numbered consecutively. If the paper is accepted, camera-ready figures must be submitted. That is, they must be in black ink on white paper in a form suitable for photographic reproduction with the possibility of reduction taken into account. A separate sheet should also be submitted with the titles for each of the figures. Titles should be typed as follows: FIGURE 1: Title of Figure (period). Characters and symbols for variables should be typed in italic or boldface type as appropriate (see Section 3). Computer-generated graphics are usually acceptable if printed on a high-quality laser printer with a good toner cartridge.
Figures should be professionally drawn and photographed. Freehand or typewritten lettering is unacceptable. Computer-generated graphics printed with dot-matrix printers are not acceptable. Instead of original drawings, roentgenograms, and other material, send sharp, good-quality, laser printer-generated prints of glossy back-and-white photographic prints, preferably 127 by 173 mm (5 by 7 in), but no larger than 203 mm by 254 mm (8 by 10 in). If you are creating a computer graphic, please save the file in either TIFF or EPS format with a minimum resolution of 300 d.p.i. at final size. Titles for illustrations belong in the legends for illustrations, not on the illustrations themselves. Each figure should have a label pasted on its back indicating the number of the figure, the name(s) of the author(s), and the top of the figure. Photomicrographs must have internal scale markers, and the magnification must be stated. Symbols, arrows, or letters used in the photomicrographs should contrast with the background. If any person is identifiable in a photograph, written permission from the subjects(s) to use the photograph must accompany the manuscript. Cite each figure in the text in consecutive order. If a figure has been published, acknowledge the original source and submit with the manuscript written permission from the copyright holder (usually the publisher or journal) to reproduce the material. Permission is required, even for one's own publications, except for documents in the public domain.
Math in Tables and Figures. Decimal fractions less than 1.00 use an initial zero if the quantity being measured sometimes exceeds 1.00. If the quantity never exceeds 1.00, as in levels of significance, probabilities, and correlation coefficients, no preceding zero should be used.
5. CITING REFRENCES
General references to works or references to works supporting a claim should appear in the text, not in footnotes. For example:
Consumer aggregation is not a straightforward matter in a spatial economy (Lösch, 1954).
A proof is given in Greenhut and Ohta (1975, pp. 241-242).
Theoretical urban economists (Isard, 1956; Mills, 1980) typically distinguish between agglomeration and localization economies.
References pertaining to subject matter of tangential interest should be addressed via footnotes. For example, a footnote might read:
To get an appreciation of the multidisciplinary reception which location-allocation models have been enjoying recently, see Ghosh and Rushton (1987)
Style. As noted above, all citations should include the name(s) of the author(s) and the year of publication. If the author name is used in the text (as in Greenhut and Ohta, above), only the year and page reference (if any) should be included in parentheses. If the entire citation is parenthetical, separate name(s), year, and page number(s) by commas. If it is a multiple-reference citation, separate the references by semicolons, as shown for the Isard and Mills references above.
"et al." Use "et al." (not italicized) for citing references having more than three authors. All authors must be included in the reference list, regardless of the number of authors for the work.
Quotations. Page numbers are needed for all direct quotes.
6. REFERENCE LIST
The reference list should appear on separate pages following the text and footnotes. Only cited references should be included in the list. The list should be in alphabetical order based upon the primary author's last name, and secondarily on subsequent coauthors. If references to two different works by the same author or set of authors are cited, they should be listed in order of ascending (earliest to most recent) publication date. If two or more works by an author or set of authors are published in the same year, use letter codes indicating the order in which they are cited in the text to delineate them. If the primary author of one reference is also the sole author of another reference, the single-authored piece should be listed before the coauthored piece.
Use a 3-em baseline in the place of the author(s) name(s) for a reference which was written by the same author (set of authors) of the reference listed before it. If the set of authors in any way changes from one reference to the next, all of the authors' names must be included in the reference. Whenever possible, full first names and any middle initial(s) should be shown, even if first initials only are indicated in the original works.
Page numbers are separated by an 'en-dash' rather than a hyphen, e.g., pp. 132-176.
