About Journal
The peer-reviewed American Journal of Economics and Sociology AJES welcomes any submission that critically investigates the social provisioning process utilizing different theoretical and methodological approaches; that engages in critical analysis and empirical studies of current social-economic micro and macro policies affecting the social provisioning process; and that evaluates past and current intellectual arguments and disciplinary developments primarily in economics and sociology (but also in the related disciplines of anthropology, political science, and law) which had or currently have an impact on understanding and investigating the social provisioning process. Articles that offer an interdisciplinary perspective are encouraged. For policy-oriented articles, it is appropriate and encouraged to discuss the public policy implications (if any) of the findings.

General Guidelines for Authors
1. Manuscripts should be double-spaced, with wide margins and printed on one side of paper only. All pages should be numbered consecutively. Titles and subtitles should be short. References, tables, and legends for the figures should be printed on separate pages. Manuscripts should not exceed 10,000 words.
2. The first page of the manuscript should contain the following information: (1) the Title; (2) the name(s) and institutional affiliation(s) of the author(s); (3) an abstract of 50 to 75 words; (4) email address(es) or author(s); (5) 3 to 5 keywords; (6) 2 to 3 Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) codes (http://www.aeaweb.org/journal/jel_class_system.php; and/or (7) 2 to 3 Sociology classification codes (http://www.ovid.com/site/products/fieldguide/soci/Classification_Codes_and_Su.jsp).
3. Footnotes should follow the text at the bottom of the page where the footnote occurs and should include only material that cannot be included in the text. Footnotes are numbered consecutively throughout the text by superscript numerals. They should be double-spaced and should not include display formulae or tables.
4. Displayed formulae should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscripts as (1), (2), and so on against the right hand margin of the page. In case where derivation of formulae has been abbreviated, it is of great help to the referees if the full derivation can be presented on a separate sheet (not to be published).
5. Quotes should be of the following form:
I cannot admit that a more general distribution of land would not ameliorate the condition of agriculturalists. In support of his theory Mr. George does me the honor of quoting what I wrote in the Corbden Club volume. (Laveleye 1882: 796)
A few pages before the long passage quoted by George, Laveleye had written: "As a rule peasant property is an excellent thing wherever the proprietor is himself the cultivator" (1881: 475).
Use double quotation marks for quoted material in the text, with single quotation marks for quotes within quotes.
References
References to publications should be as follows: "Smith (1992) reported that...." Or "This problem has been studied previously (Smith 1992)." The author should make sure that there is a strict one-to-one correspondence between the names and years in the text and those in the reference list. The list of references should appear at the end of the main text (after any appendices but before tables and legends for figures). It should be double-spaced and listed in alphabetical order by author name.
Use a dash to indicate that a reference is by the exact same author(s) as the one above:
Horowitz, J. (2003). Get Out Now: Winter in Montana New York
------------. (2006). "The Devils and Economics." Journal of Predictable Relationships 54: 123-42.
When there are several references by the same author(s), please arrange them chronologically, with the latest publication listed last.
