Guidelines
Instructions for Authors
1. Submission of papers
Please submit papers by e-mail to editassist@ijesar.org. If electronic submission is not possible, papers (and any other correspondence) should be sent to the IJESAR Editorial Manager:
T.E.I. of Kavala, Agios Loukas, P.C. 65404, Kavala, Greece.
Phone & Fax: (+30) 2510 462193.
e-mail address: editassist@ijesar.org.
2. Format of papers
IJESAR accepts submissions in English only. Your paper should be double-spaced with wide margins, on one side only of the paper, preferably of A4 size, with pages in numbered sequence. The title page should include an abstract of no more than 150 words, up to five keywords and up to three JEL classification codes. As IJESAR uses a blind peer-review process, all information revealing the author's identity will be removed before we send the paper to the referee. Papers should be submitted in Microsoft Word electronically by e-mail attachment to the Editor, to the e-mail address: editassist@ijesar.org.
If you are unable to submit, please contact the IJESAR Editorial Office for assistance. All tables and figures should be included in one file, and integrated into the text at the appropriate points (not in an appendix), unless there are large tables and figures that interrupt the flow of the text. In this case they should be appended and numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals with a descriptive caption. The font used for the main body should be 12 pt and for the footnotes 10 pt Times New Roman or the closest font available. The submission should include a cover page showing the author's name and affiliation(s), an address for correspondence (including email), and any acknowledgements. The title but not the author's name should appear on the first page of the manuscript. Use the Harvard system of referencing which gives the name of the author and the date of publication as a key to the full bibliographical details which are set out in the list of references. When the author's name is mentioned in the text, the date is inserted in parentheses immediately after the name, as in Aldcroft (1964). When a less direct reference is made to one or more authors, both name and date are bracketed, with the references separated by a semi-colon, as in several authors have noted this trend (Rimmer, 1960; Pollard, 1965; Mckendrick, 1970). Where appropriate, page numbers should also be provided (Roberts, p.1956: 56). When the reference is to a work of dual or multiple authorship, use Harvey and Press (1988) or Yamey et al. (1963) respectively. If an author has two references published in the same year, add lower case letters after the date to distinguish them, as in (Johnson, 1984a, 1984b). Direct quotations of 40 words or more should start on a separate line and be indented.
3. Footnotes and References
Footnotes should be numbered consecutively and placed within the text; references should be in alphabetical order at the end of the paper.
4. Proofs
Authors of accepted articles will receive proofs for correction.
