Author Guidelines and Copyright Policy
Submission Guidelines:
JPE has no arbitrary length limits, but exceptionally long submissions (over 60 pages) will need to be even more significant to the field than shorter ones. Submissions should be made on PC or Mac 3 1/2’Äù (1.44) diskettes or CD, using Word, RTF, extended ASCII or another agreed upon format. Submissions should be accompanied by a paper copy and a signed letter requesting that they be reviewed in JPE and stating that the submission is an original work that has not been submitted for review elsewhere. Submission of articles and research reports must be accompanied by a $10 peer review fee made out to ’ÄúPESO/BARA’Äù (a non-profit University of Arizona account). If the submission is deemed inappropriate for peer review this fee will be refunded. At their option, authors may simultaneously request JPE to place the article or report on-line for comment in JPE’Äôs public forum while it is out for peer review. Authors will normally receive reviewers’Äô comments by E-mail. We will only return disks, paper copies and reviewers comments by mail to PESO members who request this service or to others if a self-addressed stamped envelope is provided. Graphics need to be in separate and individual files and their location in the text should be clearly indicated. We can accept graphics in a variety of formats (including hardcopy) but prefer TIFF or JPEG. All graphics should be of publication quality.
Style:
Authors should follow the Chicago Manual of Style for bibliographical references but eliminate all indentation, italics and underlining. Do not use your processor’Äôs footnote or endnote facility: note numbers in text should appear as a number as a number in square brackets [17] and all notes should appear in a separate file in normal fonts. Authors cited in text should be alphabetized by first authors; include first initial and date and page number as follows: (J.Alpers 1987:42; R.Smith, J.Brown and B.Jenkins 1992:73-84). Authors should leave all underlining and emphasis (italics or other) out of headings, subheadings, and bibliography. Please submit text, graphics, notes and bibliography as separate files.
Copyright Policy:
Submissions must be author’Äôs original work and not previously published. Journal of Political Ecology (JPE) authors assign JPE the copyright for material they publish in JPE, but JPE grants its authors a license as the original source. JPE grants to all the right to make up to 50 copies in any format for personal or educational use (e.g. inclusion in course packets) provided that full references to JPE are included with each copy. JPE freely grants to anyone the right to cite JPE works for scholarly use; in fully referenced citations amounting to no more than 500 words (and one graphic) extracted from any single article, report or review. JPE reserves all rights except those granted in this copyright notice. The words and graphical material of JPE publications may not be changed in any substantive way and then represented, copied, or cited
