About Journal
The Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics provides a forum for innovative and scholarly work in agricultural, resource and environmental economics. Contributions in this field are encouraged from members of the Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society and non-members, in Australia and abroad. Editorial objectives are to maintain a high standard of analytical rigor while offering sufficient variety of content to appeal to a broad spectrum of both academic and professional economists and policymakers. In addition to regular articles, policy reviews and surveys of key issues in agricultural, resource and environmental economics are welcome.
Submission Process
General Guidelines for Authors
Double spacing should be used throughout the manuscript, including equations and tables.
Title Page
The title page should contain (i) the title of the paper, (ii) the full names of the authors and (iii) the addresses of the institutions at which the work was carried out together with (iv) the full postal and email address, plus facsimile and telephone numbers, of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript should be sent. The present address of any author, if different from that where the work was carried out, should be supplied in a footnote.
Abstract and key words
All manuscript categories must have an abstract of 200 or fewer words that states the purpose, basic procedures, main findings and principal conclusions of the study. The abstract should not contain abbreviations or references.
Five key words, for the purposes of indexing, should be supplied below the abstract, in alphabetical order.
Tables
Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. Number tables consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals. Type tables on a separate page with the legend above.
Figures
All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) are classified as figures. Provide all figures in black and white. Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text. Each figure should be supplied as a separate file, with the figure number incorporated in the file name.
References
The Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics uses the (Harvard Style) parenthetical (author date) system of referencing - examples are given below. In the text, give the author's name followed by the year in parentheses: Smith (2000). If there are two authors, use 'and': Smith and Jones (2001); but if cited within parentheses use '&': (Smith & Jones 2001). When reference is made to a work by three or more authors, the first name followed by et al. should be used: MacDonald et al. (2002).
In the reference list, references should be listed in alphabetical order. See examples:
