The author responsible for correspondence concerning the submitted manuscript must be indicated in the cover letter.  The corresponding author’s mailing address, telephone and fax numbers and email address must be included in the letter.

Papers that were previously published and are under consideration for publication elsewhere cannot be accepted. Authors must agree not to publish accepted papers elsewhere without prior permission from the Bulletin of Statistics & Economics. If previously published tables, illustrations or more than 50 words of text are to be included in the submission, then a copyright holder's written permission must be obtained. Copies of any such permission letters should be included when submitting the paper. All manuscripts are subject to peer review.

An electronic version of each accepted manuscript should be submitted in one file to the editor-in-chief [rmamon(at)stats.uwo.ca]; this version is the complete manuscript showing how the paper should appear when it is published. In addition, authors must submit in a separate file the text of the manuscript and if applicable, the files of figures, tables and illustrations.

Preparation of the manuscript:

Papers must be written clearly in English. The paper should not normally exceed 6000 words. All sections of the manuscript should be typed double-space on one side of the paper only. Except for the title page, there should be a page number centered at the bottom of every page.

The abstract appearing before the main body of the text should summarize the aims, methods, results and conclusions in less than 250 words. This should be comprehensible to a general readership; abbreviations and citations should be avoided.

Authors must ensure that the details in each reference are accurate and complete. Within the text, references should be cited by author's name(s) and year of publication; if there are more than two authors, please use et al. Referenced articles that are still in press may be included in the submission to further help referees in the evaluation process. The list of references should appear at the end of the manuscript in alphabetical order, with authors' surnames first followed by their initials. References should contain the authors' names, year, paper title, journal’s name, volume number, issue number, inclusive page numbers and (for books only) name and address of publishers. See examples below.
