The Southern Economic JournalAbstracts of the Southern Economic Journal are available online. The Southern Economic Journal is a publication of the Southern Economic Association. The Journal is published four times a year in January, April, July, and October. All submitted manuscripts should contain original work and should not be under consideration for publication at another journal. Manuscripts should not exceed 50 pages. A submission fee of $50.00 for SEA Members and $110.00 for non-Members residing in the United States must accompany all manuscripts, except book reviews. The submission fee for Canadian submitters is $120 and for all other submitters, $125. There is no fee for resubmission. Guidelines for Manuscript SubmissionsThe SEJ strongly encourages electronic (PDF) submissions of manuscripts. To submit electronically, use the link: http://editorialexpress.com/sej. Electronic submission allows authors to submit their manuscript online. The manuscript must be in PDF format. Instructions on how to convert documents into PDF format are at: http://gemini.econ.umd.edu/e-editor/pdftips.html. Author(s)' identity should not be identified anywhere in the PDF document. The manuscript's cover page must show only the title, the abstract and the JEL codes. All acknowledgements must be removed. Contact author's information will be entered online in the form at the link indicated above. Resubmissions, however, must be accompanied by a letter detailing the changes made to the manuscript and the responses to the referees. Payments can be made through the electronic system with a credit card or a debit card, or checks can be mailed to the SEJ Editorial Office at Virginia Commonwealth University to:
For regular submissions please mail two copies of the manuscript to the above address and an electronic version of the manuscript in a diskette or compact disc. The electronic version should include a PDF file as well as a Word, Word Perfect, or LaTex file. FormatThe Southern Economic Journal follows the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition, in copy-editing manuscripts for publication. It is not necessary for authors to familiarize themselves with these details for initial submissions of manuscripts. We ask authors to follow the guidelines below for initial submissions.
AbstractPlease include an abstract of not more than 200 words (JEL abstracts, which must not exceed 100 words, will be required for final submissions). The abstract should include a readable summary of the research issues, methodology, and principal findings and contributions. The abstract page is the first page of the paper, and should include the title of the manuscript and JEL codes, but not the author(s)' name(s) or other identifying designations. Tables and Figures
Documentation
Reference List
Footnotes or EndnotesFootnotes should be used only for extensions and useful excursions of information that if included in the body of the text might disrupt its continuity. Footnotes should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript with superscript Arabic numerals. Once papers are accepted for publication, authors will have to convert footnotes to endnotes for the printer. Empirical ResultsAuthors should provide an Appendix with a complete description of all data sources. The SEJ Editors expect authors of accepted papers to provide data documentation adequate for replication of their research findings by others. In the case of publicly available data sets (such as the NSLY), identification of variables used and any selection criteria for inclusion in the sample should usually be adequate. For other data sets, the Editors expect that authors can make available a computer diskette containing the data and programs used to extract the data to other researchers wishing to replicate the findings. In the case of papers using proprietary data that cannot be released to other researchers, the author should notify the Editors at the time of submission. Please try to use short descriptions of variables rather than symbols, acronyms, or abbreviations in Tables reporting empirical results. Use asterisks to denote levels of statistical significance and superscript lower-case letters to denote footnotes in Tables. Experimental EconomicsAuthors reporting experimental results should provide copies of the instructions and protocol with each copy of the submitted manuscript. The Editors expect that authors will provide the complete data set from the experiment to other researchers wishing to replicate the findings.
