Eurasian Geography and Economics,
a bimonthly affiliated with the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies
and the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies , will
publish timely, original papers in geography and economics covering all states
of the former USSR as well as Asiatic and European countries on or beyond their
present borders within the Eurasian realm , with a particular emphasis on China
. Also published from time to time will be papers on related subjects (e.g.,
demography, ethnic studies) that have a pronounced spatial element and/or
significant economic content. Special features such as essays and comments by
senior specialists, as well as brief research reports and communications
transmitting data on current, rapidly changing developments, will appear in the
journal as well. Such brief reports and communications, generally up to 3,000
words in length, will analyze significant new information highlighting the
geographic and economic environments in the former USSR, China, and other
Asiatic and European countries on or beyond its present borders within the
Eurasian realm. Back-volume tables of contents illustrating the range of topics
covered over the last few years, along with selected abstracts, may be reviewed
on the Bellwether Publishing website at
www.bellpub.com/psge/.
All manuscripts must be submitted in
Eurasian Geography and Economics (EGE) format (see below). Manuscripts
may be submitted in either electronic, or hard copy (paper), format , although
hard copy submissions should be accompanied by a copy of the paper in electronic
format. All submitted manuscripts should be accompanied by a cover page that
includes a statement that: (1) the manuscript is the author’s original research;
(2) that it has not been submitted elsewhere in print or electronic form to
another journal or as a proposed book chapter; (3) that it is not under current
review; (4) that it has not been published previously or otherwise accessible to
the public (e.g., posted on website); (5) and that no similar or exact
submission will be sent elsewhere until the EGE review is completed. The cover
page also should include a brief statement of the nature of the research leading
to the creation of the submitted manuscript: for example, was it funded (if so,
through what source or sources), a doctoral dissertation or master’s thesis,
based on lengthy field work (describe briefly) or archival work? Manuscripts
will not be sent to reviewers unless accompanied by a cover page containing this
information.
Unsolicited papers should not exceed
6,500 words in length including references. The first page of the manuscript
proper should contain the title and name of author(s) and their affiliation(s).
The second page of the manuscript should contain an abstract, as noted below.
All submissions should be forwarded electronically to Dr. Andrew R. Bond
(abond@bellpub.com), who will forward a
copy to the Editors for initial evaluation. Papers accepted for the second stage
of evaluation will be sent out for review. Authors delete word "some" should be
prepared to undertake some updating of selected tabular and related material
prior to publication.
Please follow the style rules listed
below in preparing manuscripts:
1. Abbreviations and Acronyms.
Acronyms and other abbreviations are permitted for frequently used terms. Upon
the first use of the abbreviation or acronym, the complete expanded term
should appear, followed by the abbreviation or acronym in parentheses—e.g.,
"the countries comprising the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)."
2. Abstract. All
manuscripts submitted for publication should contain an abstract of no more
than 100 words, for use in the Journal of Economic Literature and
should include 5-7 key word selected by the author(s) with the understanding
that some may be later modified and/or deleted. The
abstract should describe what the article does (e.g., tests a model,
constructs an input-output table, traces the evolution of a process, outlines
possible future scenarios). It should not restate major conclusions (for
format, review the 41st (2001) volume of Post-Soviet Geography and
Economics or the abstracts accessible from the tables of contents section
on the Bellwether Publishing/Eurasian Geography and Economics website;
www.bellpub.com/psge/).
3. Copyrighted material.
Any copyrighted material included in papers submitted for publication in
Eurasian Geography and Economics should be identified and the author(s)
must obtain permission from the copyright holder(s) to use such material. It
is understood that papers submitted for publication in Eurasian Geography
and Economics have not been previously and will not be simultaneously or
subsequently copyrighted and published elsewhere (including distribution in an
electronic format) without the written consent of the publisher. In
addition, papers will not be considered for publication if they have
previously appeared on the internet or otherwise are available to the public
in an electronic format. Upon acceptance for publication, papers previously
distributed in limited editions, such as poring papers disseminated within an
author's university or institute, should be withdrawn from subsequent
circulation.
4. Copyrighting. All papers
accepted for publication in Eurasian Geography and Economics will be
copyrighted by V.H. Winston & Son, Inc. Accordingly, no papers can be
published elsewhere, in any language, without the written consent of the
publisher. Although reproduction or translation of any part of such paper
beyond that permitted by Sections 107 and 108 of the U.S. Copyright Law
without the publisher's permission is unlawful, consent for limited
reproduction by the author or authors for restricted (e.g., classroom) use
will not be withheld. Similarly, should the author or authors subsequently
become the editor(s) of a volume of collected works (book of readings),
permission for the use of the paper in such a volume will be granted upon
request. In all other instances involving other publishers, the consent of V.H.
Winston & Son, Inc. must be secured with the understanding that it may be
withheld for some time and/or granted on a contractual basis.
5. Figures (line art). In
order to appear in the journal, maps, diagrams, and other illustrations must
be of professional quality and in electronic format. Upon acceptance of a
manuscript, authors will be asked to provide electronic versions of all
figures in the original format in which they were created (e.g., CorelDraw,
Adobe Illustrator, Freehand). Figures in a derivative format (e.g., .jpg, .pdf,
.bmp) may not be accepted if they cannot be manipulated to accommodate the
journal’s production format. All print on figures should be in sans serif
(e.g., Arial, Helvetica) type. For information on color figures, see the
section on Photographs below.
6. Footnotes. Footnotes in
the text should be numbered consecutively beginning with the
affiliation/identification footnote to the author's name. They should be typed
(double-spaced) on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. Footnotes
should not be used solely to cite reference material.
7. Headings. The manuscript
should be divided by appropriate headings. If possible, no more than three
orders of headings should be used.
8. Photographs. Either
black and white or color photographs may be accepted, but should be submitted
in electronic format as .tif files at 300 DPI resolution or higher. Authors
are responsible for the costs of printing of any color photographs or other
color figures, and should have funding for such reproduction prior to
submission of the paper. Color reproduction costs typically comprise: (1)
set-up fee for color press (ca. $1,000 U.S.); (2) page fee (ca. $200 per page
on which color appears).
9. References. In text,
references should be cited by the author's surname and date—for example,
"Thornton (2000, p. 2) reported that . . ." or ". . . as previously reported
(Thornton, 2000, p. 2)." Articles authored by more than two persons should be
cited in the text using the first author's surname and initials followed by et
al. (not "and with others"); however, the names of all authors should appear
in the reference section. Suffixes (a, b, c, etc.) should be used to
distinguish two or more works by the same author(s) in the same year (e.g.,
Moore, 2001a, 2001b). A direct quotation should always be page-referenced.
Personal communications should be cited in the text, but not in the references
section, and should include the surname and initials of the source as well as
the year of communication (e.g., Smith, L. G., pers. commun., 2000).
References to statistical
publications (regardless of title) of the Russian State Committee for
Statistics should be cited in text as Goskomstat Rossii (e.g., Goskomstat
Rossii, 2000, p. 29). The year of publication rather than any year appearing
in the title of the work should be used in the text citation. Therefore, the
work Goskomstat Rossii, Sotsial'no-ekonomicheskoye polozheniye Rossii 1999
g (The Social and Economic Situation in Russia in 1999). Moscow, January
2000 would be cited in the text as (Goskomstat Rossii, 2000).
A reference list, containing only
those references cited in the text, should be provided at the end of the
manuscript, following these formats:

Books and journal articles in
foreign languages should be cited in their original languages (transliterated,
when in Russian) and a translation provided. Journal titles should be cited
only in the original language. Follow these formats:
Gawlikowski-Huekel, Krystynaa,
ed., Zmiany Strukturalne w Polskiej w Okresie Transformacji w Latach
1989-1995 (Structural Changes in the Polish Economy during the Period of
Transformation 1989-1995). Gdansk/Warsaw: Institut Badan nad Gospodarka,

sotsial'no-ekonomicheskogo razvitiya Dal'nego Vostoka (Prospects for Social
and Economic Development of the Far East)," Voprosy ekonomiki,
1:92-103, 2000.
Articles and/or books with no
author should be cited by the first word of the article or book title
(transliterated if in Russian or Chinese). A text citation to (Perspektivy,
2000) would correspond, for example, to the entry immediately above this
paragraph in the sample references.
Articles from Izvestiya,
Nezavisimaya gazeta, Rossiyskaya gazeta, and other newspapers,
domestic and foreign, should be cited in text (e.g., Nezavisimaya gazeta,
July 20, 1997, p. 3), but not in the references list. Weekly
periodicals (e.g., Literaturnaya gazeta) also may be cited in the same
way (in text, but not in references) or they may follow the format of journal
articles as described above (author, year, pages in text; full entry in
references list). The author may choose either option for a particular
periodical, but should cite it consistently throughout the article. In both
cases, the page number(s) should be cited.
10. Tables. At least some
tables in each manuscript should incorporate up-to-date figures with the
understanding that the maximum time lag between the most recent figures and
the time of publication will not exceed one year. All tables should be
numbered using Arabic numerals and cited consecutively in the text. Those that
are based solely on one source, rather than on compilation from a variety of
sources, will not be published. If necessary, and to the extent possible, such
single-source tables will need to be substantially abbreviated and relegated
to a footnote (e.g., see Post-Soviet Geography and Economics, No. 8,
1996, p. 473). Each table should have a title and be typed double-spaced on a
separate sheet. Indicate in the margin of the manuscript where the table
should be inserted. Footnotes to information in the tables should be indicated
with lower case roman letters and placed directly below the table, with a
paragraph indentation. Source notes, if any, should follow the information
footnotes. Each such source note should be indicated by the word Source
in italics, cite the appropriate reference in the same fashion as in the text
(except without parentheses), and list all page numbers for relevant
statistical data: e.g., Sources: Brada, 1996, p. 17; Goskomstat Rossii,
1997, pp. 7-8, 13, 27-31; Rocznik Statystyczny, 1997, p. 19; Sagers,
1998, p. 3. All citations must be specific (not "various years"). All tables
should be integrated in text, so that no appendices are needed at the end.
11. Transliteration.
Transliteration of Russian should be done consistently according to the system
approved by the U.S. Board of Geographic Names. This system transliterates the
Cyrillic letter e as ye initially, after vowels, and after the soft sign ( '
); elsewhere as e. The letter ë is not considered a separate letter of the
Russian Cyrillic alphabet, and the dieresis is often omitted. When printed in
Cyrillic as ë, it is transliterated as yo. Both ы
and й
are transliterated as y, but these letters rarely occur initially and the
likelihood of confusion is slight: the й
usually occurs only as the second part of diphthongs, while the ы
occurs before other vowels or between consonants. This system provides no
means of distinguishing between the transliteration of the Cyrillic letter
ц and
the тс letter combination; however, the
latter occurs infrequently.
Transliteration of Chinese words
should be done using the Pinyin system, except for names commonly expressed in
other forms (e.g., Yangtze).
For additional guidance on any
matters not specifically addressed in the above listed instructions and
examples, please consult Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition.
