About now publishersBackgroundnow was started by two senior publishing executives to provide the research community with a partnership for publishing. International in structure, the company is ideally placed to bring a new era to academic publishing, which values editors and authors, deploys a liberal and fair copyright policy, and provides librarians with value for money. The primary mission of now is to improve scholarly communication, speed the flow of information, and reward the scientist. The company uses modern web-based marketing and manufacturing techniques to minimize costs. Using targeted marketing and print-on-demand publishing technologies, now is able to significantly compensate authors and editors for their efforts, and pass on cost-savings to librarians. Editorial PhilosophyOur philosophy is based on the following three principles: Quality: Each journal has a broad editorial board whose "tastes" ensure that each issue accurately reflects the state-of-the-art. The editorial board members, led by eminent figures as editors-in-chief, are the top researchers in each field. The peer-review process further ensures that quality is maintained consistently high across the products. Fairness: We started this company because we believe in the product, but we also believe in compensating authors and editors and charging reasonable prices for the content. By using a subscription/site license model we can provide unlimited campus-wide access to each review at a reasonable cost per issue. A liberal copyright policy allows students to use any of the issues in course packs, etc., provided that the institution is subscribing to the publication. We are being creative in our compensation and pricing policy to ensure everyone involved is fairly compensated for their effort and that subscribing libraries have a high-usage product at a reasonable price.

Instructions for AuthorsThe review process for the journal is designed to provide authors with timely decisions. All submissions will be reviewed both by the editors and by external reviewers. The review process will be single-blind with referees remaining anonymous. General Instructions for Final SubmissionThe journal accepts only electronic submissions. Please submit both a copy from a standard word or text processor, such as Word or LaTeX, and a pdf file. The publisher uses modern production techniques to create both printed and online formats of articles. These processes have been developed to streamline the final version to publication stage. Accepted manuscripts will be copyedited and proofread, so it is not necessary to prepare camera-ready copy. It is, however, mutually advantageous to adhere to the structure of the approved style files. Manuscript SpecificsAbstractPlease provide an abstract of not more than 150 words. The abstract will appear in various online and printed abstract journals. Title PageInclude the title of the article, author(s) name(s), and affiliation(s). Acknowledgements should also be on this page and should be the first footnote of the article. Authors are expected to reveal the source of any financial or research support received in connection with the preparation of their article. Tables and FiguresNumber figures and tables consecutively (Table 1, Table 2, etc.). Do not number them according to the section in which they appear. Please do not insert figures and tables in the text. Instead, in the space immediately after the paragraph in which the figure or table is first referenced, insert a text tag as follows: [Table 1 here] Tables cannot be set landscape. Please format them to be set vertically on the journal page. Reference CitationsInclude the first name of each author when first mentioned, either in text or in footnotes. Each subsequent reference to an author should include only the last name, unless two or more authors have the same last name. If you cite an article that is neither published nor accepted for publication, please make every effort to find an internet link to it, and include the web site address in the reference list, giving the full link. If you cite an unpublished article of which you are the author, you must make that article available on the web before the journal article is published. Citations should take the place of footnotes whenever possible. Work them into the text smoothly. For material in quotation marks, include page number references. Try to avoid using e.g, cf, and "see also." Allan Gibbard (1973) and Mark Satterthwaite (1975) independently asked the question of what happens when the agents studied by Kenneth Arrow in Social Choice and Individual Values (1963) decided...others refocused attention on resource allocation (Charles Kindleberger 1964a,b; John Cornwall 1977). FootnotesNumber footnotes in order, corresponding to numbers in the text, and place them at the bottom of the page (rather than as endnotes). Footnotes are not necessary for works cited; use citations instead as shown above. Reference ListVerify references carefully; they must correspond to the citations in text. List alphabetically by author's last name and then by year. In references lists, only the first author's name is inverted. Please list all authors; avoid using et al. in lieu of authors' names. Include authors' first names unless the first names are not published. |
Submit a ManuscriptPlease read Instructions for Authors before submitting your manuscript. Submissions must be emailed to the editor-in-chief. To expedite processing, your subject line should be: SBE submission. In the body of your message, please include all of the following information:
Attach a PDF file to your message and send. If you follow the instructions above, you will receive a confirmation of receipt of your manuscript. If the initial in-house review of the manuscript’s suitability for the SBE is favorable, the author(s) will be notified. Authors of empirical papers may be asked to supply a replication data set for editors or referees. Authors of theory papers may be asked to provide an appendix with supplementary proofs for editors or referees. Thank you for your interest in the Strategic Behavior and the Environment. |
Aims & Scope
As local, national and global environmental and natural resource situations deteriorate, intervention policies become particularly important. The increased level of policy debate regarding environmental and natural resources is well reflected in a rising trend of published analytical work that addresses the interaction between needed policies to better manage environmental and natural resources and the strategic behavior of those who are involved in its design and implementation, and those affected by them. Environmental policy and strategic behavior has become a field that interests researchers from several disciplines in the social sciences, employing different methodologies while addressing similar research questions. Simultaneously, policy makers seek more help from researchers in the process of developing and implementing environmental policies. The impact of the increasing body of such works on both the scientific literature and the policy making process would be much more effective if championed by a high quality publication outlet. Strategic Behavior and the Environment is intended to provide a platform for the various disciplines that jointly contribute to our understanding of that field. Scholars in economics (including experimental economics, political economy, and game theory), political science, international relations, negotiation, and other disciplines are invited to submit manuscripts for publication consideration following a peer-review process. The journal will also encourage/solicit contributions from policy makers who have been involved in design and implementation of environmental policies while experiencing strategic behavior on the part of the parties involved. |

Thank you for your interest in the International Review of Environmental and Resource Economics. |
Aims & Scope
Environmental and resource economics has become a broad topic, making connections with many other subdisciplines in economics as well as the natural and physical sciences. It has also experienced a significant growth in research such that the literature is exploding in terms of the number of topics addressed, the number of methodological approaches being applied and the sheer number of articles being written. Coupled with the high degree of specialization that characterizes modern academic research, this proliferation of topics and methodologies makes it impossible for anyone, even those who specialize in the subject, to keep up with developments in the field. The International Review of Environmental and Resource Economics is designed to fill this niche by publishing state-of-the-art review articles by top specialists in their fields who have made substantial contributions to the area that they are surveying. Authors are invited by the editors, in consultation with the editorial board, and each paper is critically reviewed. |

Instructions for AuthorsThe review process of the QJPS is designed to provide authors with timely decisions. All submissions will receive an initial in-house review to filter out manuscripts that are inappropriate for various reasons such as excessive length, falling outside the scope of the journal, or generally lacking the requisite quality to warrant demands on referees’ time. The remaining manuscripts will be peer-reviewed under the supervision of the editor for the relevant subfield. The review process will be single-blind with referees remaining anonymous. Referee reports will be advisory but not definitive in the editors’ decisions. Revise and resubmits will be used sparingly. Initial SubmissionsThe QJPS accepts only electronic submissions. Submissions should be non-anonymous, double-spaced, and printed on standard paper with 12-point font.

These processes have been developed to streamline the final version to publication stage. Accepted manuscripts will be copyedited and proofread, so it is not necessary to prepare camera-ready copy. AbstractPlease provide an abstract of not more than 150 words. The abstract will appear in various online and printed abstract journals. Citations and ReferencesCitations should conform to the style guidelines of the American Political Science Association’s Style Manual for Political Science. An alphabetical list of references must be provided at the end of the paper. During production, we will use these references to create links to the cited articles that are available on the Internet. Figures and TablesAfter a manuscript is accepted for publication, graphics for the final version must be submitted as separate files. When supplying color figures or halftones (photos), ensure that there is sufficient contrast to enable clear black and white printing. Use either Times New Roman or Arial typefaces on all figures.

The dataset, documentation, command files, etc. will be reviewed in-house and made available at this site coincident with publication. Online appendices, if any, will be handled similarly. Authors of theory papers may be asked to provide an appendix with supplementary proofs for editors or referees. Thank you for your interest in the Quarterly Journal of Political Science. |
Aims & Scope
In the last half-century, social scientists have engaged in a methodologically focused and substantively far-reaching mission to make the study of politics scientific. The mutually reinforcing components in this pursuit are the development of positive theories and the testing of their empirical implications. Although this paradigm has been associated with many advances in the understanding of politics, no leading journal of political science is dedicated primarily to the publication of positive political science. The Quarterly Journal of Political Science will solicit, review, and publish the highest quality manuscripts in positive political science and contemporary political economy. The substantive content of the journal will be broad and eclectic, including cutting-edge research on any aspect of private, local, national, comparative, or international politics. The methodological approach will be analytical, focusing on positive political theories, empirical tests of those theories, and the measurement of causal relationships. In their commitment to making the Journal the premier interdisciplinary publication of scientific research on politics, the editors welcome submissions not only from political scientists but also from scholars in cognate disciplines such as economics, business, and law. |

Background now was started by two senior publishing executives to provide the research community with a partnership for publishing. International in structure, the company is ideally placed to bring a new era to academic publishing, which values editors and authors, deploys a liberal and fair copyright policy, and provides librarians with value for money. The primary mission of now is to improve scholarly communication, speed the flow of information, and reward the scientist. The company uses modern web-based marketing and manufacturing techniques to minimize costs. Using targeted marketing and print-on-demand publishing technologies now is able to significantly compensate authors and editors for their efforts, and pass on cost-savings to librarians. Focus now has introduced a new type of product into the research information market. Focusing initially in the Business and Technology areas, now has introduced Foundations and Trends® (FnT). This product combines the peer-review of journals, the high usage of reference works, and the pedagogy of textbooks. Each "issue" of FnT comprises one or more monographs of up to 100 pages written by research and opinion leaders in the field that surveys the literature and offers a state-of-the-art review of the subject in full including a complete bibliography. The issues are published electronically upon acceptance with subsequent distribution in print format. Each issue is subject to peer-review thereby vetting the content and validating the information. Authors are also encouraged to revise their contribution on a regular basis to maintain currency and the incentives include the long-term citation impact of the article and financial compensation. As the number of "issues" grows over time, the subscriber has access to a large corpus of literature, "in effect a "digital library" covering the entire scope of a discipline. Editorial Philosophy Our philosophy is based on the following three principles: Quality: Each FnT has a broad
editorial board whose "tastes" ensure that each issue
accurately reflects the state-of-the-art. The editorial board
members, led by an eminent figure as editor-in-chief, are
the top researchers and teachers in each field. Authors are
selected and invited on the basis of their recognized
standing as renowned experts in their particular subject. The
peer-review process further ensures that quality is
maintained consistently high across the products. Fairness: We started this company because we
believe in the product, but we also believe in compensating
authors and editors and charging reasonable prices for the content.
This is one of the main reasons we have chosen a
serial type model rather than a book series. By using a
subscription/site license model we can provide unlimited
campus-wide access to each review at a reasonable cost per
issue. Our liberal copyright policy allows students to use
any of the issues in course packs, etc., provided that the
institution is subscribing to the publication, thereby
eliminating the need of having individual copies bought by
students or faculty. We are being creative in our
compensation and pricing policy to ensure everyone involved
is fairly compensated for their effort and that subscribing
libraries have a high-usage product at a reasonable
price. Openness: now allows authors to retain
copyright but authors license to the publisher the
exclusive rights to distribute the work in both printed and
electronic formats for commercial purposes. This enables the
academic to re-use his material for research and teaching
purposes whilst allowing us to ensure the work is distributed
throughout the world in the high-quality form that is
desirable for all users. If you are interested in learning more, please contact now at:

Author Instructions General Instructions Now Publishers Inc uses modern production techniques to create both printed and online formats of author's articles. These processes have been developed to make it easy for authors to create their articles in a way in which we can quickly produce the published version. To help us keep costs low and provide rapid publication we ask our authors to create their articles in LaTeX or Microsoft Word. We are not expecting camera-ready copy from our authors so please do not spend time perfecting the layout of your paper. After submission we will copy-edit and proof-read your article for grammatical errors. The author stylefiles create a layout for the printed book version of your article. We will use this to create the online HTML and journal style PDF layout. To help you further, please adopt the following guidelines Consecutive Numbering of Parts All manuscript pages, footnotes, equations, and references should be labeled in consecutive numerical order. Illustrations and tables should be cited in text in numerical order. Abstract Please provide an abstract to the article. This will be used as the cover text in the printed book version and in the online journal version. It should describe what the paper reviews and for whom it is of interest. The abstract will also appear in various online and printed abstract journals. References A numbered list of references must be provided at the end of the paper. The list should be alphabetical. List only one reference per reference number. During production we will use these references to create links to the cited articles if they are available on the internet. It is, therefore, very important that you supply as complete a reference as possible and that it is structured in the manner requested. See the special instructions pertaining to the particular style file you use. Figures, Tables, and Captions List All graphics should be submitted as separate files, preferably in Encapsulated PostScript, although TIFF and Postscript are also acceptable. By default we will use colour figures in the HTML and PDF files available online, but print in black and white. When supplying colour figures or halftones (photos), ensure that there is sufficient contrast to enable clear black and white printing. Use either Times New Roman or Arial typefaces on all your figures. Do not put boxes around your figures to enclose them. Halftones should be supplied in 300 dpi resolution. Special Instructions and Downloads for LaTeX Users |
|
Special Instructions for LaTeX Users To help prepare your article for Foundations and Trends® we have developed LaTeX style files. These style files facilitate the production process, enabling three versions of your manuscript to be created directly from your input. These three versions are 1) online HTML 2) PDF Book format and 3) PDF journal version. To use the style files, download the zipped files and unpack into your normal LaTeX installation. Include the following as the first line in your LaTeX file: \documentclass[11pt]{now} You can now use LaTeX as you normally would. The archive also includes a file sample.tex and another sample.pdf which shows how the output should appear. Bibliographic References Now Publishers embeds links to the original articles in the online references. We do this using the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) which is akin to an ISBN for digital content. This will ensure that the links that we embed are persistent and never break. To ensure that the conversion processes of the bibliographic references run without errors, it is important that the bibliographic information is entered in the proper, structured format. This will also enable an automatic DOI Lookup for the bibliographic item(s). Bibliography file We recommend using a separate bibliography file (also called "bibliographic database"), instead of entering the references directly in the LaTeX sourcefile. Not only does this make it easier for you to maintain the references it also ensures that they are in a structure that is suitable for our conversion processes. Please, enter each bibliographic item according to the following structure, in the same order and using the same lettercase . General syntax This is the general syntax for entries in the bibliographic database: @entry_type{key, field_name={field text}, .. field_name={field text}, } Example article: @article{vetracabitari97, author={J. Ventura-Travesset and G. Caire and E. Biglieri and G. Taricco}, title={Impact of diversity reception on fading channels with coded modulation}, journal={IEEE Trans. on Communications}, year={1997}, volume={45}, number={5}, pages={563-572}, } In the above example, the first word, prefixed with@, describes the 'entry_type' (in this case, article). The entry_type is followed by the reference information for that entry, enclosed in curly braces{ }. After the first opening brace { we find the key by which the reference is used in the LaTeX document, referred by the \cite command. This key may be any combination of letters, numerals and hyphens or dots, except commas. Please note that this key is also case-sensitive: if "vetracabitari97" is used in the bibliographic file, and "Vetracabitari97" in the \cite command, problems will arise during conversion and DOI-look-up processes. The actual reference information is entered in several fields, of which some are required, and some are optional. In the above example, the fields that are in bold are required, the other fields may be entered optionally. Each field consists of a 'fieldname' (article, author, etc.) a =sign (no spaces), and the field text, enclosed by curly braces. The fields may vary with the different entry types. When all the entries have been entered, save the bibliographic database under a relevant name with the extension .bib, and send this file along together with the other source files. NOTE: It is important to use exactly the same lettercase as in the above example and table. Using capitals or a mixture of capitals and lower case is not allowed. The bibliographic information will be XML-processed and is therefore case-sensitive. |

The Concept Each Foundations and Trends® covers a major branch of a scientific discipline and offers current, state-of-the-art review articles by opinion/research leaders in their field. Authors are allowed 50-100 pages for a complete review of the subject and articles are published upon acceptance in electronic form with the references linked to the original source. Each article is intended to put primary research into context, improving researchers' and students' understanding of the original literature. As a result, and guided by the links to source material, users have access to primary and secondary data - enriching their comprehension, retention and utilization of the content. The Benefits
Modern Publishing Quality Gateway to Research - Each article includes a complete bibliography. Journal references are linked to the original source via CrossRef, allowing the scientist or student to "drill down" to the primary content. The combination of these hyperlinked references and accompanying authoritative text puts published work into context and gives a quality stamp, forming the gateway to the subject. Time-to-market - The submission, review and
production process are web-based with strict deadlines.
The review process focuses on quality, completeness, and
timeliness. This insures that the content is "fresh" upon
publication. Updating - An online updating procedure enables
subsequent important new work to be identified and
contextualized in real time. This includes the updating
of the references, adding new data, and addressing comments.
Periodically, the intermediary updates will be consolidated
into a new version of an article. Copyright - Authors retain copyright, allowing
them to self-archive their article and use for their own
non-commercial purposes. All Foundations and Trends® journals are easy to
subscribe to, with a simple, straightforward usage agreement
for online institutional subscriptions. This fast-track to
access ensures that everyone at your university or company
can quickly tap into the most up-to-date overviews of the
subject.The standard subscription package includes both the
enhanced online version and an archival paper version. You
can choose, however, to subscribe to the electronic only or
paper only editions at significant discounts. Access can also
be set up directly with now or through your library
supplier. now realises the importance of ensuring
our content is available to subscribers perpetually. We have therefore
made agreements with both Portico and LOCKSS to archive our content. |
