4 1. MANUSCRIPTS Instructions to contributors Authors are requested to submit two copies of their manuscripts in English. Contributors should indicate in their covering letter to the Editorial Board that the material has not been previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The length of manuscripts should not normally exceed double-spaced A4-size pages. Manuscripts are accepted subject to editorial revision. The manuscripts should be typed, double-spaced, on one side of white A4 paper. Since all manuscripts will be refereed by professionals in the field, the name(s) of the author(s), institutional affiliation(s) and other identifying information should be placed on the title page only, in order to preserve anonymity. The title page should contain the following: (a) title; (b) name(s) of the author(s); (c) institutional affiliation(s); and (d) complete mailing address, telephone number and facsimile number of the author, or of the primary author in the case of joint authors. The second page should contain the title, the name(s) of the author(s) and an abstract of approximately 150 words. Acknowledgements (if any) should appear after the abstract. Once a manuscript is accepted for publication, the author(s) should submit a copy of the manuscript on a computer diskette labelled with the title of the article, the name(s) of the author(s) and the word-processing software used. The preferred word-processing software is MSWord. 2. FOOTNOTES AND QUOTATIONS Footnotes, if any, should be numbered consecutively with superscript arabic numerals. They should be typed single-spaced and should be placed at the foot of each page. Footnotes should not be used solely for citing references. Quotations should be double-spaced. A copy of the page(s) of the original source of the quotation, as well as a copy of the cover page of that source, should be provided. 3. TABLES All tables should be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals. Each table should be typed double-spaced on a separate page and should follow the list of references. There should be a clear indication in the text where the table should be inserted. Full source(s) should appear below the table, followed by notes, if any, in lower-case letters. 4. FIGURES All figures should be provided as camera-ready copy and numbered consecutively. Figures should be planned to fit the proportions of the printed page. There should be a clear indication in the text where each figure should be inserted. Full source(s) should be provided below each figure. 5. REFERENCES Authors should ensure that there is a complete reference for every citation in the text. References in the text should follow the author-date format followed, if necessary, by page numbers, for example, Becker (1964: 13-24). List only those references that are actually cited in the text or footnotes. References, listed alphabetically, should be typed double-spaced on a separate page in the following style: Ahmed, E. and N. Stern, Effective taxes and tax reform in India, Discussion Paper 25, University of Warwick. Desai, Padma, ed., Marxism, Central Planning, and the Soviet Economy (Cambridge, MA, MIT Press).
