Economica


ACCEPTED PAPERS:

References in the text

ECONOMICA uses the standard Harvard style for references. References in the text should be by author's surname and year of publication, as in the following examples:
  • "Brown (2000) in a paper on...."
  • "Brown (2000, p.12) has shown that....."
  • "This method has been criticised (Jones, 1999a,b; Brown and Smith, 2000)".
  • "A proof is given by Jones et al. (1998)".
The following points should be noted:
  • When more than two collaborating authors are quoted the first surname only should be given followed by et al., e.g. Jones et al. (1998), not Jones, Smith and White (1998). In the list of references, however, all names should be given in full.
  • The word "and" is used in preference to "&".
  • When a book is quoted, reference to a particular page, section or chapter is often necessary.
  • Ibid., op. cit., loc. cit. must not be used.
Where this system of citation is awkward, the Editors are prepared to consider a reasonable alternative.
