Guidelines for Submission to South African Journal of Economics

The South African Journal of Economics has now adopted ScholarOne Manuscripts, for online manuscript submission and peer review. The new system brings with it a whole host of benefits including:

• Quick and easy submission
• Administration centralised and reduced
• Significant decrease in peer review times

From now on all submissions to the journal must be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/saje. Full instructions and support are available on the site and a user ID and password can be obtained on the first visit. If you require assistance then click the Get Help Now link which appears at the top right of every ScholarOne Manuscripts page.

Manuscripts should be submitted blind and in final form and accompanied by a 100 word abstract, JEL classification and Key words.

Tables, equations and diagrams should be kept to a minimum. Diagrams and Figures should be clear and professionally drawn into the manuscript.

We use the Harvard method for the references, e.g.
