About the journal
This journal is the natural outlet for the best research in decision analysis, economics and psychology dealing with choice under uncertainty.
The Journal of Risk and Uncertainty welcomes original manuscripts, both theoretical and empirical, dealing with the analysis of risk-bearing behavior and decision making under uncertainty. The topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, decision theory and the economics of uncertainty, psychological models of choice under uncertainty, risk and public policy, experimental investigations of behavior under uncertainty, and empirical studies of real world risk-taking behavior. Manuscripts generally not considered for publication in the JRU include note-length submissions, papers dealing explicitly with finance, and papers in which risk and uncertainty are secondary concerns in the paper.
An important aim of the JRU is to encourage interdisciplinary communication and interaction between researchers in the area of risk and uncertainty. Authors are expected to provide introductory discussions which set forth the nature of their research and the interpretation and implications of their findings in a manner accessible to knowledgeable researchers in other disciplines.

Sections should appear in the following order: title page, abstract, text, 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.

Text
The text of the article should begin on a new page. The introduction should have no heading or number. Subsequent 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 right.
Format of introductions
Introductions in the Journal of Risk and Uncertainty are to be self−contained summaries of the paper. Authors are expected to provide a broad discussion which sets forth the nature of their research, an overview of their results, and the interpretation and implications of their findings in a manner accessible to knowledgeable researchers in other disciplines.
Notes
Acknowledgments and related information should appear in a note designated by an asterisk after the last author’s name, and subsequent notes should be numbered consecutively and designated by superscripts 1, 2, etc.) in the text. All notes should be typed double−spaced and appear as footnotes at the bottom of the appropriate page.

may be underlined rather than italicized). All references should include complete author first names, not initials, except in instances in which the original article or book being cited lists only the initials. References with up to three authors should include the names of each author, references with four or more authors should cite the first author followed by “et al." It is the responsibility of the authors to verify all references.

Illustration Style
Tables
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. 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.
Figures
Originals for illustrations should be sharp, noise−free, and of good contrast. We regret 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. Compensating differentials by race." Identify all abbreviations appearing on the figure in alphabetical order at the end of each legend.
All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction.
