ARER GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION 
 
SUBMISSION 
Electronic submission is preferred. Please send to ARER@arec.umd.edu. The manuscript should be sent as an attach-
ment using Microsoft Word software. Guidelines for manuscript submission are available at ARER’s website, at 
http://www.narea.org/journal.htm. Alternatively, send the manuscript as a PDF file, first removing the cover page and 
all other material identifying the author(s), or send a hard copy original and three copies of the manuscript to: 
  Dr. Lori Lynch and Dr. Wesley N. Musser, ARER Co-Editors 
  Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics 
  2200 Symons Hall 
  University of Maryland 
  College Park, MD 20742-5535  USA 
COVER LETTER 
The cover letter should indicate that the material has not been offered for publication or published in a similar form 
elsewhere, and that so far as the author(s) knows, does not infringe upon other published material protected by 
copyright. 
TITLE PAGE and ABSTRACT 
On the first page, list the title of the paper, the author(s), their title(s), department(s), institution(s), and complete 
address of corresponding author. On the next page, provide the title of the paper, an abstract not to exceed 100 
words, and up to eight key words or short phrases (in alphabetical order) describing the content of the manuscript. 
The author(s)’ identification should not be repeated on the abstract page or on other pages of the manuscript. 
TEXT PREPARATION 
The manuscript should be typed on 82" × 11" paper, and all material, including references and footnotes, should 
be double-spaced with margins of at least 1". Use 12-point Times New Roman. Use Microsoft Word’s footnote 
feature to number footnotes consecutively throughout the manuscript, using superscript numbers. 
STYLE 
Refer to the most recent copy of the ARER for basic style and format. 
TABLES and FIGURES/GRAPHICS 
Each table should be placed on a separate page. Use the table feature of Microsoft Word rather than creating tables 
with tabs. Table titles should be short and descriptive. Do not use color in figures and graphs, as it will not be re-
produced in the printed copy. Do not include figure captions in the graphic itself. After a manuscript has been ac-
cepted, the corresponding author will consult with the technical editor in preparing an acceptable electronic version 
of the figure or graphic. 
PERMISSIONS 
Authors are responsible for obtaining the necessary permissions to quote or reproduce material, including figures, 
from already published works and/or any copyrighted material. Please supply an appropriate line of credit where 
necessary. 
MATHEMATICAL NOTATION 
Use only essential mathematical notation. Avoid using the same character for both superscripts and subscripts, 
using capital letters as superscripts and subscripts, and using overbars, tildes, carets, and other modifications of 
standard type. Use Microsoft Word’s character formatting for bold (vectors and matrices), italics (variables), and 
superscript and subscript styles. Do not italicize Greek letters. 
REFERENCES 
List references alphabetically and unnumbered at the end of the manuscript with the heading “References.” List 
only those actually cited. Cite references in the text by the name(s) of the author(s) and the year of publication, 
using 1999a and 1999b, for example, if there is more than one source by the same author(s) in a given year. A style 
sheet on references and citations is available from the editor. Provide volume and issue number for journal articles. 
PAGE CHARGE 
A page charge of $75 per printed journal page is billed to the corresponding author’s department, agency, or insti-
tution after the article is accepted for publication.
