Submissions and Style Instructions

All manuscripts should be submitted on-line to the Quarterly Journal of Finance and Accounting/Quarterly Journal of Business and Economics at http://www.qjbe.unl.edu/.

Each manuscript must be accompanied by a $60 submission fee for subscribers and a $100 fee for non-subscribers. There is a $50 submission fee for revised manuscripts for subscribers and a $90 revision fee for non-subscribers.

Manuscripts will not be returned unless the author encloses a self-addressed stamped envelope.

The style notes listed below should be used as a general guideline for authors.

1. Manuscripts submitted must be typed, double-spaced, and approximately 25 pages in length.
2. Because the manuscripts are blind refereed, only the title is shown at the top of the first page of text. The title, author's name, academic title, and institutional affiliation should appear in a separate file.
3. Only explanatory footnotes are numbered in the text; their use should be minimal.
4. A compilation of bibliographic entries should appear at the end of the manuscript under the heading “References.”
5. Bibliographic entries within the text should include name and date (i.e., as in Smith (1987) or John Doe (1984) says ...). Parentheses, not brackets, should be used.
6. References should include month, year, volume, and issue.
7. Tables and figures should have titles as well as numbers (arabic). Figures must be embedded within the file and should be no larger than 4.75 inches x 6.75 inches. Figures should not include titles, but should include labels. Labels should be in 8 point Arial or a similar sans serif typeface.
8. Each article must be accompanied by an abstract of 150 words or less.
9. The submission fee must be paid before review begins. Accepted manuscripts must be submitted in acceptable form (Microsoft Word) or an additional fee will be assessed. The tax ID number is 47-0491233. Our e-mail address is myoung1@unl.edu.
