Article Submission Guidelines

"Economics of Energy & Environmental Policy" (EEEP), established as an IAEE publication in 2011, is policy oriented. It focuses on all policy issues in the interface between energy and environmental economics. EEEP provides a research-based, scholarly, yet easily read and accessible source of information on contemporary economic thinking and analysis of energy and environmental policy. Its editors are Jean-Michel Glachant (European University Institute in Florence), Paul Joskow (Alfred P. Sloan Foundation) and Michael Pollitt (Cambridge University). The editors strive to publish a blend of policy papers and notes, organized symposia on specific policy issues, feature articles, and commentaries on current energy and environmental policy. The Journal wants to nurture a dialogue between academics, business and public authorities. It covers policy issues worldwide.

Published twice a year in March and September, each issue contains original refereed articles, short notes, feature articles, commentaries, and book reviews on energy and environmental economic topics, with a policy orientation.

Contributions are welcomed covering all the major areas of energy and environmental economics and policy.

SUBMISSIONS

Authors must submit two electronic copies of their paper in MS Word format online at www.iaee.org/eeeparticletracking/newpublic/submitjournal2.aspx. One copy should include author names and full contact details, the other one should be submitted blind (with no author names or contact details listed anywhere within the article). Articles will not be considered if multiple files are submitted-e.g., text files along with separate files with graphics, tables, equations, etc. Each of the two electronic files must incorporate all text, tables, equations and graphics. Articles should be easily readable and accessible to a broad readership including the academic community but also industry experts and policy makers.

Authors submitting an article do so on the understanding that if accepted for publication, copyright of the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE) and the Economics of Energy & Environmental Policy (EEEP). EEEP will not refuse any reasonable request by authors for permission to reproduce any of their contributions to the publication. There is no article submission fee.

Articles should be prepared according to the below format style:

• Articles must be submitted in electronic format only (no hard copy/fax submissions).
• Articles submitted must be original work which indicates the manuscript has never been published before or under consideration by another publisher’s body of work and that the article will not be published elsewhere without first seeking the publisher’s permission to release copyright with appropriate first publication copyright language. Articles shall be easily readable and accessible to a broad readership including the academic community but also industry experts and policy makers.
• The first page of the non-blind version must contain the article title, author(s) name(s) and complete affiliation(s), title, and complete mailing address, email and phone number of the lead author to whom all correspondence should be addressed. The lead author only will be contacted on behalf of all authors for finalizing manuscript copy and, in general, be the key contact regarding manuscript and publication correspondence.
• Articles shall be accompanied by an abstract of up to 200 words which briefly describes the article’s objective, content and results. The abstract must be followed by three to five keywords which will be used for referencing and citation. Be sparing with abbreviations.
• Articles should be short in nature (no more than 6,000 words including abstract, footnotes, and reference list). Text (single column format) should be formatted in Times New Roman 11pt, line spacing 1.5 with references in 10pt font and single line spaced, headings in bold and 14pt and sub-headings in bold and 12pt. Footnotes, if provided, should be few. Acknowledgements, if any, shall be positioned before the reference list. Articles shall be very light on equations, tables and graphs. Strive for an easy and comprehensible read.
• Equations, tables and graphs embedded in the MS Word document shall be located at the author’s desired location; they must not be sent as separate attached files. All figures should be numbered consecutively throughout the text. Figures must be submitted embedded as camera-ready copy in a form suitable for reproduction.
• Articles shall be in good quality English. Submissions in poor English will be declined. Editors reserve the right to suggest rewriting/editing (of parts) of a submitted text to make it better readable and accessible to the readers.
