Submission Procedure
The New School Economic Review (NSER) welcomes submissions from academics, practitioners and students of all levels seeking to broaden and strengthen the foundational structure of the study of economic systems. The NSER sees itself primarily as a journal of opinion-based, interdisciplinary political economy. However, within the context of providing a dissemination medium for well-rounded and pluralist perspectives, submissions can be in the form of but not limited to, scholarly articles, commentaries, book reviews, guest editorials, and announcements. We hope to establish a precedent of publishing a variety of offerings that represent a broad range of views on relevant issues. In preparing your submissions, we ask that you keep the following procedures and editorial practices in mind, and please do not hesitate to contact the NSER editorial board ( submit@newschooljournal.com) for clarifications or with any questions as they may arise.
General Submission & Evaluation Procedures
Prospective authors should submit papers by e-mail, with a brief introduction letter and papers should always include a short (max 250 words) abstract of the work they wish to submit. If the abstract submission is deemed topically appropriate, the manuscript will be solicited for the purpose of undergoing a more rigorous review process. If an article has been directly solicited by a member of the editorial board, no introductory letter or abstract is necessary.
Once a full manuscript is received the findings of outside readers and members of the NSER editorial board will determine whether or not the submission will be published. Each paper will be assigned an editor who will be in contact with the author, ensuring a first point of contact. The NSER editorial board reserves the right to suggest both minor and substantive revisions to accepted works. Finally, following the standard practices of North American scholarly journals, the NSER is not in a position to offer payments for accepted and published manuscripts.
Submission Guidelines
The NSER broadly uses the The Chicago Manual of Style , 14th ed., and thus all submissions should refer to it as a guide for style. Referencing and notes should be included at the end of the text as endnotes, not footnotes.
Considering that the New School Economic Review is an online journal, we ask that in most cases submissions be made via e-mail, as Word or WordPerfect file attachments. In the case that access to e-mail presents a problem for the author, submissions will be accepted on disks sent by mail. Typed hard copies of submissions are not necessary or desired, unless the author does not have access to a computer. In which case the submissions should be double-spaced and must have no markings that will inhibit electronic scanning. NSER welcomes illustrations and photographs that will both enhance the visual impact of its issues, as well as serve to further the understanding of published articles. Please submit these, as part of the electronic document (in their right place) and as attachments to an e-mail message, or by mail on a disk (in JPEG or GIF format, as appropriate), along with all necessary reprint and copyright permissions.
If submissions are made via e-mail the author should expect a prompt acknowledgment of receipt, however, if the submissions are made via regular mail we ask that a self addressed and stamped envelope is provided to NSER .
Previous Publication & Copyright
The NSER is not opposed to submissions that have previously appeared in other publications. That being said we ask that the author be responsible for obtaining and presenting NSER with the proper documentation necessary for legally republishing their work. As for original submissions, and copyright, we have no wish to monopolize your intellectual output, merely provide a forum and quality feedback to your research, and as such, we do not retain the copyright to any papers published in our journal, although we expect that authors will make a note of us in any re-publications, or when placing papers on-line.
NSER General Style Notes
Text
| 1. | Text should be typed and double-spaced, in font Times New Roman size 12 |
| 2. | Notes should be placed at the end of the article and triple spaced. |
| 3. | Long quotations should be indented an additional 1.5″ from each side and be size 10.5, not in italics, with the source at the end (surname year: page). |
| 4. | For capitalization, hyphenation, use of numbers, punctuation, and other matters of style, follow The Chicago Manual of Style , 14th ed., 1993. |
| 5. | Unlike other inclusive numbers, inclusive years should be typed as 1982-1987, not as 1982-87 or 1982-7. |
| 6. | People must be fully identified by first and last names when they are first mentioned in the text. Names of authors mentioned in text should usually correspond exactly to their names as given in the bibliography. The use of titles such as Dr., Rev., Gen., Mrs., and Miss is discouraged. |
| 7. | Acronyms (such as ACLU, AFL-CIO) should not be used to identify organizations until the organizational name has first been provided in full and the acronym indicated–for example, “American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).” |
| 8. | Quotations should correspond exactly with the originals in wording, spelling, interior capitalization, and interior punctuation. Sic will not usually appear in the published article, but it is helpful if the manuscript submitted by the author indicates errors or idiosyncrasies present in the original source in this manner. |
| 9. | Interpolations of the author’s own comments or explanations into quoted matter should be enclosed in square brackets, not parentheses. Such interpolations should be kept to a minimum. |
| Tables & Figures | |
| 10. | Each table should be identified by both a number and a descriptive title. Each must have its sources indicated, and the author should clearly indicate where each table should be placed in the text. Further, if an electronic document is submitted, tables and pictures should appear where the author wants them to be placed. |
| 11. | Figures (illustrations) are numbered separately from tables, and they also must be identified by descriptive captions (including a date). The source for each figure should be given, and the author should clearly indicate where each figure should be placed in the text (or preferably insert it). |
| Endnotes General considerations: |
|
| 12. | Notes should be single spaced, and Times New Roman size 10 |
| 13. | The first note, not numbered, can give a very brief identification of the author, and will appear on the first page. The author may use the same note to thank individuals and institutions for assistance. Such acknowledgments should be brief. |
| 14. | In general, endotes follow the same style format as the journal, and is not a place for full bibliographical references. Please include a seperate bibiliography of all sources at the end of the paper. |
| 15. | Please proofread all notes carefully for matters of style and of substance. While contributors vary, on average we find more than one substantive error or omission in each footnote we check. When numerous stylistic changes need to be made at the copy-editing stage, substantive errors are likely to creep into the printed copy and to go undetected when they occur. |
| 16. | Each note should be complete in itself. Even if a work’s title and/or author appears in the text, that information should be included in the note. |
| 17. | Forthcoming works may be cited, with as much reliable publication information as is available. Titles of forthcoming books should be italicized. The citation should reflect the form the work will have when it is published, and the author should be prepared to update the citation if it has been published by that time. If it is not certain that the article or book will come forth (that is, if it is simply “in submission”), it should be cited as an unpublished manuscript. |
| 18. | When composing citations to material not covered in this style sheet, include all information the reader might need to locate the item. |
| Scholarly abbreviations | |
| 19. | Ibid. refers to the item (author and year, but not page number) preceding and takes the place of as much of the succeeding material as is identical. |
| 20. | Et al. is used if a book or an article has more than three authors. Note that it is not italicized or underlined and that “et” is not an abbreviation. Following references must also include et al. |
| 21. | Discursive material should be kept to a minimum. Notes should not be used to “save” material cut from the text. |
| 22. | Combine notes when possible. Footnote numbers should never appear in mid-sentence; they should be placed at the end of text sentences (before any full stops). If the connection between text and citation is thereby obscured, a brief clarifying phrase can be added to the note. |
| Citations to Books Required information: |
|
| 23. | a. The author’s or editor’s surname followed by the initial as it appears on the title page of the work cited. |
| f. Year of publication. | |
| b. Full title and subtitle exactly as they appear on the title page. (italicized) | |
| c. Total number of volumes for any multi-volume works. | |
| d. Publisher: (note the colon) | |
| e. Place of publication. | |
| g. Second references to authors require a full citation | |
| Bibliography Example: Author Surname, Initial, Year, Title, Place: Publisher |
|

| b. The full title and subtitle as they appear on the first page of the article. (enclosed by double inverted commas “title”) | |
| c. Full publishing information for the journal, book, or periodical in which the article appears. (italicized), where in the case of a journal, the volume should be in bold, and issue in round brackets | |
| d. Pages cited | |

|
| Electronic/Web Citations | |
| 25. | Citations of electronic sources should include an author or editor, title of work cited, electronic address, page or paragraph numbers, and date of access to the source. |
| 26. | Citations of books and journal articles published online should follow form for traditional citations as closely as possible, with the addition of the electronic address and date of access. |
