Submission Guidelines for The History of Economic Thought Journal

Nov. 2024

The History of Economic Thought is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the history of economic thought, published biannually by the Japanese Society for the History of Economic Thought (JSHET). Submissions are welcome on a wide range of topics relevant to the subject and will be considered for publication either as Articles or as Notes and Communications.

Articles

1. Manuscripts should be original and previously unpublished.
2. Submissions are welcome from researchers within and outside Japan. There are no examination or publication fees.
3. As a rule, the editorial board puts each submission through a double-anonymous refereeing process involving two reviewers and decides whether the manuscript should be accepted, revised and resubmitted, or rejected.
4. JSHET shall retain copyright for all publications.
5. Manuscripts should be drafted and submitted in Microsoft Word format (.doc, .docx, etc.) and should comprise a title (along with a subtitle), body of text, footnotes, references, and an abstract.
   5-1. The title, text, footnotes, and abstract should be written in English except for  quotations originally written in another language.
   5-2. The title, text, footnotes, and references should not exceed 12,000 words.
   5-3. The abstract should be approximately 250 words in length (but no more than 300 words), including the title, authors’ names, and two to four JEL Codes, which should be placed on a final separate page at the end of the manuscript.
   5-4. For guidance on style, please consult the Journal Style Guidelines.
6. Authors submit the manuscripts to the email (below), and should include in it a reference to any prior conference presentation, working paper, or similar material on which the submission is based, irrespective of the languages used (They are also advised to place these references in an unnumbered footnote in the manuscript using a succinct format of their own choice once it is accepted for publication in the journal).
7. Submissions are welcome at any time.

Notes and Communications (N&C)

1. N&C submissions fall into either of the following categories:
   a) a critique, review, or an introduction of new research trends in, or unpublished materials relevant to the history of economic thought (approximately 2,200 words),
   b) a critique, or rejoinder to an article(s) published in The History of Economic Thought (approximately 900 words).
2. Other than the above, the same rules apply as those for Articles submissions; however, the editorial board may simplify the refereeing process.
