Guidelines for Authors |
- Authors should submit manuscripts (as an attachment to
email) directly to the Editor at ferguson@louisiana.edu.
WORD is the preferred file format.
- The first page should include the title of the manuscript,
author contact information (including email addresses),
and author biographies (not to exceed 50 words for each
author).
- The second page of the manuscript should include the title,
abstract, and three key words--e.g., cycles, reinsurance,
regulation. No author information should appear on
this page.
- The Journal requires a $35 submission fee (check payable
to WRIA); this fee is waived for WRIA members.

- Endnotes should be placed on a separate page and placed
at the end of the manuscript. Endnotes should be placed
in numerical order (not alphabetically) in the text as well
as on the endnote page.
- The reference style of the Journal is an alphabetical,
unnumbered list at the end of the manuscript. For example:
Barnea, A., R. A. Haugen, and L.W. Senbet (1985) Agency
Problems and Financial Contracting. Englewood Cliffs,
NJ: Prentice-Hall.
Keleher, R.E. (1982) "Evidence Relating to Supply-Side
Tax Policy," Supply-Side Economics: A Critical Appraisal,
R.H. Fink, editor. Frederick, MD: University Publications.
Miller, M. (1977) "Debt and Taxes," Journal
of Finance, 32, May, pp. 261-278.
In the text, a reference should show an author's last
name followed by the year of publication in parentheses.
For example: (Posey, 1998; Louberge et al., 1999).
For direct quotes, a page number is added to the reference.
For example: Hoyt (1989, p. 23).
- Each manuscript should end with a non-technical summary
of the main conclusions of the paper.
- Papers should be formatted in the style of JII
articles. See, for example, Wen and Born (2005).
- Once a manuscript is accepted for publication, authors
will be asked to submit three copies of the the final paper
and an electronic file (email preferred) in WORD or Word
Perfect. All tables, graphs, charts, formulas and equations
should be placed in the body of the manuscript.
