About the journal
The Journal of Productivity Analysis publishes theoretical and applied research that addresses issues involving the measurement, explanation, and improvement of productivity. The broad scope of the journal encompasses productivity-related developments spanning the disciplines of economics, the management sciences, operations research, and business and public administration. Topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, productivity theory, organizational design, index number theory, and related foundations of productivity analysis. The journal also publishes research on computational methods that are employed in productivity analysis, including econometric and mathematical programming techniques, and empirical research based on data at all levels of aggregation, ranging from aggregate macroeconomic data to disaggregate microeconomic data. The empirical research illustrates the application of theory and techniques to the measurement of productivity, and develops implications for the design of managerial strategies and public policy to enhance productivity.

Manuscript Preparation
Submitted papers should typically be less than 20 double−spaced typewritten pages, and should in no event exceed 40 pages. Final versions of accepted manuscripts (including notes, references, tables, and legends) should be typed double−spaced on 8 1/2 x 11 (22cm x 29cm) white paper with 1" (2.5cm) margins on all sides. Sections should appear in the following order: title page, abstract, text, notes, references, tables, figure legends, and figures. Comments or replies to previously published articles should also follow this format with the exception of abstracts, which are not required.
- Title Page
The title page should include the article title, authors' names and permanent affiliations, and the name, current address, e−mail address and telephone number of the person to whom page proofs and offprints should be sent.
- Abstract
The following page should include an abstract of not more than 100 words and a list of two to six keywords.
- Text
The text of the article should begin on a new page. The introduction should have no heading or number. Subsequent section headings (including appendices) should be designated by arabic numerals (1, 2, etc.), and subsection headings should be numbered 1.1, 1.2, etc. Figures, tables, and displayed equations should be numbered consecutively throughout the text (1, 2, etc.). Equation numbers should appear flush left in parentheses and running variables for equations (e.g.,i = 1,..., n) flush right in parentheses.
- Notes
Acknowledgments and related information should appear in a note designated by an asterisk after the last authors name, and subsequent notes should be numbered consecutively and designated by superscripts in the text. All notes should be typed double−spaced beginning on a separate page following the text.
- References
References in the text should follow the author−date format (e.g., Brown (1986), Jones (1978a, 1978b), Smith and Johnson (1983)). References should be typed double−spaced beginning on a separate page following the notes, according to the following samples (journal and book titles may be underlined rather than italicized). References with up to three authors should include the names of each author; references with four or more authors should cite the first author and add "et al." It is the responsibility of the authors to verify all references.

- Tables
Tables should be titled and typed double−spaced, each on a separate sheet, following the references. Notes to tables should be designated by superscripted letters (a,b,etc.) within each table and typed double−spaced on the same page as the table. Use descriptive labels rather than computer acronyms, and explain all abbreviations. When tables are typed on oversized paper, please submit both the original and a reduced copy.
Illustration Style
- Originals for illustrations should be sharp, noise−free, and of good contrast. We regret that we cannot provide drafting or art service.
- Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired location of each figure in the text. Each figure must have a caption. Proper style for captions, e.g., "Figure 1. Buffer occupancy for various bit rates."
- Number each table consecutively using Arabic numerals. Please label any material that can be typeset as a table, reserving the term "figure" for material that has been drawn. Specify the desired location of each table in the text. Type a brief title above each table.
- All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction.
- Suggested figure formats: TIFF, GIF, EPS, PPT, and Postscript. Files should be at least 300 dpi.
