Instructions to Authors
The Journal of Futures Markets welcomes submitted manuscripts in electronic format via ScholarOne "Manuscript Central" an online system that efficiently manages the peer review process.
Please submit manuscripts online at http://futures-wiley.manuscriptcentral.com. There is no submission fee.
If you are visiting the site for the first time, check to see if you have an existing account. Do this by clicking on the "Check for Existing Account" button on the opening page of the Web site (the bottom of the two buttons). If you do not already have an account, create an account for yourself by clicking on the "Create an Account" button.
You then will be able to log in to the site and enter via the "Author Center."From there you can submit your manuscript and track its progress through the editorial process. At the end of a successful submission, a confirmation screen with manuscript number will appear and you will receive an e-mail confirming that the manuscript has been received by the journal. If this does not happen, please check your submission or contact tech support at edsupport@wiley.com.
Submit the manuscript and all figures as one file if possible. Acceptable formats for electronic submission include Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, and .RTF. Acrobat files must have embedded fonts. LaTeX users should save their files as PostScript (.PS) files, so that the system will be able to convert them to PDF format. (Please note that if your article is accepted, the final manuscript that is mailed to the Editor cannot be in PDF format. See the disk submission instructions below for more information.)
Because the review process is double-blind, please do not include author names or an acknowledgments section with your article. Authors will supply this information separately to Manuscript Central during the submission process.
A 100 word abstract communicating the essence of the paper is required. The abstract should succinctly and accurately describe the paper so that appropriate referees can be matched to the topic.
You do not need to mail any paper copies when submitting your article to Manuscript Central.
Upon acceptance of your article, you will be asked to mail the Editor a paper copy of the final version of your manuscript, along with an electronic file on disk or CD. The Editor's contact information is as follows: Robert I. Webb, Editor, The Journal of Futures Markets, 1595 Old Oaks Drive, Charlottesville, VA 22901. Tel. 434-295-4550; E-mail: jfm@rwebb.net

For detailed manuscript preparation instructions, please see below.
Format
Upon acceptance of a peer-reviewed manuscript, submit a paper and an electronic copy of the article (including all tables and artwork) typed on one side only on standard 8 1/2 ×11-inch paper. All copy must be typed double-spaced with one-inch margins.
Please provide a complete mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, and fax number for the author to whom all correspondence, including page proofs, should be sent. Supply the professional title and affiliation of each author.
The title should be short and informative. The main text of the manuscript should be divided into subsections for clarity. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of all written material.
Notes (brief communications less than four pages long) will be considered for publication as well as Letters of a discursive nature (e.g., commenting on recent articles).
Wherever possible, detailed mathematical analysis should be placed in an Appendix.
Expository footnotes should be cited in the text with a superscript Arabic number and typed double-spaced on a separate page at the end of the manuscript. When typeset, the footnotes will appear at the bottom of the page on which they are cited.
The introduction should include a statement of the problem being addressed, why it is important, and to whom it is important. How is the study related to other work? Is it an extension Major or minor? Is it a correction or difference of interpretation?
The conclusion should tell the reader clearly what the paper finds or demonstrates. It should coincide with the objectives set forth in the introduction. It should describe the implications of the results for researchers, traders, policy makers, etc.
Editorial Suggestions
Personal pronouns (I, we, our, etc.) should be used sparsely. The first person should be used when it clarifies or avoids awkward phrasing. Otherwise, third person should be used. For example, instead of writing "We examined daily data on S&P 500 stock index futures prices," write "Daily data on S&P 500 stock index futures prices were examined." First person singular should be used when there is a single author, and first person plural should be used when there are two or more authors.
Use present tense throughout (introduction, main body, conclusion). Past tense should be reserved for descriptions of past research.
Use simple, straightforward, declarative sentences. Compound sentences are acceptable if they are clear in their meaning. Hint: Avoid starting a sentence with a phrase.
Literature Citations
In-text literature citations and bibliographies are styled according to the fifth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. All citations should appear alphabetically under the heading "Bibliography" at the end of the text.
Examples of the proper style for in-text citations are given below.
Phelps (1996) and Jones and Black (1989) stated that . . .
A recent study has shown the time period is longer (Cohen, 1997; Smith & Johnson, 2003).
A sampling of the most common entries in reference lists appears below. Please note that for journal articles, issue numbers are not included unless each issue in the volume begins with page one. Hence, it is The Journal of Futures Markets, 24, 513?32, not The Journal of Futures Markets, 24(6), 513?32. Entries not exemplified below are modeled in the Publication Manual. Please note that italics are removed from references in the printed publication (this is a departure from the Publication Manual style).

References should be typed double-spaced, in alphabetical order starting on a separate page following the manuscript. References should refer only to material listed within the text. Do not abbreviate journal names. Authors should review and verify references before manuscripts are submitted for consideration, because they alone are responsible for accuracy and completeness.
Anthologies and collections must include names of editors and pages on which the reference appears. Books in a series must include series title and number/volume if applicable. Because of the large quantity of conference proceedings available, it is critical to give as much information as possible when citing references from proceedings. Please include the complete title of the meeting, symposium, etc. (do not abbreviate titles), and the city and dates of the meeting. If a proceeding has been published, please provide the editors' names, publisher, city, and year of publication, and pages on which the article appears.

How to Order: To learn more about EndNote, or to purchase your own copy, visit www.endnote.com.
Technical Support: If you need assistance using EndNote, e-mail endnote@isiresearchsoft.com, or visit www.endnote.com/support.
Tables
Each table must be cited in the text, but the tables themselves should not be embedded in the text. Tables should be grouped together at the end of the manuscript, after the reference list, each one starting on a fresh page. All tables should be numbered consecutively with Roman numerals and should include an explanatory heading for the table as a whole and for each column within the table. With the hard copy of the manuscript, group together the copies of tables at the end. The fifth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association has helpful guidelines for both tables and figures.
Figures and Artwork
Gray Scale Art & Line Art. As with tables (see above), figures should not be embedded in the text. Please cite the figure in the text and provide a list of figure captions at the end of the manuscript, after the references. With the hard copy of the manuscript, group together the figures at the end, each starting on a fresh page. Figures must be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals.
If possible, for the version of the manuscript submitted to ScholarOne Manuscript Central for peer reviewing, include all figures grouped together at the end of the same file that contains the article text. This way, reviewers will have only one file to look at. For the final, accepted manuscript, figures are best submitted in TIFF or EPS (with preview) formats. If these formats are not possible, use JPEG. Please do not submit proprietary graphics formats such as Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator. For the final manuscript, figures can also be kept grouped together at the end of the manuscript, after the reference list. Authors concerned with best quality printing should try to ensure that gray scale figures (e.g., screen shots, photos, or charts requiring shades of gray) are high resolution (above 300 dpi). Figures pasted directly from the Web are low resolution (72 dpi). Bitmapped line art (made only of black & white lines often simple charts or graphs) should be submitted at higher resolutions yielding 600-1200 dpi.
Authors are cautioned to provide lettering of graphs and figure labels that is large, clear, and open so that letters and numbers do not become illegible when reduced. Likewise, authors are cautioned that very thin lines and other fine details in figures may not successfully reproduce. Original figures should be created with these precautions in mind.
Copyright Information
Submission of a manuscript to this journal implies that the material has not been copyrighted or published, that it is not being submitted for publication elsewhere, and that, if the material is sponsored, it has been released for publication. No article can be published unless accompanied by a signed copyright transfer agreement (CTA), which serves as a transfer of copyright from author to publisher. A CTA is provided to authors by the Editor, or it can be obtained from the top of this page. If the article is a "work made for hire," the agreement must be signed by the employer.
It is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission to reproduce material (often, figures) from another publication. Please keep in mind that getting permissions can sometimes take several weeks. A form for this purpose can be obtained from the top of this page.
Author Page Proofs
After the manuscript is sent to the publisher, it will be copyedited and typeset. After being typeset, page proofs will be e-mailed in PDF format to the designated corresponding author. Authors have 48 hours after receiving page proofs to return them with any corrections. Authors may be charged for alterations to the proofs beyond those needed to correct typesetting errors. Authors are advised to keep a copy of the original manuscript to refer to when checking the page proofs. The manuscript and artwork sent to the publisher will not be returned unless a request is made when the manuscript is originally submitted to the Editor. Authors with no e-mail access will be mailed their page proofs.
Copies of the Published Article
One complimentary copy of the journal will be mailed to the corresponding author after publication. Additional copies of an article can be ordered in bulk (100 copies minimum). A reprint order form will be supplied with the page proofs for bulk orders. Reprints are shipped approximately six weeks after publication of the issue in which the article appears.

Disk Submission Instructions for the Final, Accepted Manuscript Mailed to the Editor
Please submit your final, revised manuscript on disk as well as hard copy.
The hard copy must match the disk.
Please return the disk submission slip below with your manuscript and labeled disk(s).
Storage medium. 3-1/2" high-density disk, Zip disk, or CD-ROM in Windows, Macintosh, or Linux format. At authors' requests, disks will be returned after publication.
Software and format. Microsoft Word 6.0 is preferred, although manuscripts prepared with any other microcomputer word processor are acceptable. LaTeX is usable but less preferable. If you use software other than Microsoft Word, please provide a plain text file of the manuscript. Most applications support the export of plain text files. Please do not submit text files in PDF format, Adobe PageMaker, Quark Xpress, or other desktop publishing software. If you prepared your manuscript with desktop publishing software, export the text to a word processing format. Refrain from complex formatting; the publisher will style your manuscript according to journal design specifications. Please make sure your word processing program's "fast save" feature is turned off. Please do not deliver files that contain hidden text. For example, do not use your word processor's automated features to create footnotes or reference lists.
File names. Files can be named with your manuscript number or last name, an underscore, and a very brief description of the file's contents (e.g., ?774_article?.
Labels. Label all disks with the journal name, author name, file name, and the word processing program and version used. For figures or artwork, label disks with journal name, author name, file names, formats, and compression schemes (if any) used. Hard copy output must accompany all files.
