Authors of accepted papers are expected to place their articles in The Econometrics Journal house style. The Econometrics Journal Style Guide details instructions and guidance on how to do this. A template of the style guide in The Econometrics Journal house style is also provided which may prove useful to authors when typesetting their article. It is critical for rapid publication that authors read and follow the style instructions carefully. Papers which do not accord with The Econometrics Journal house style are likely to be returned to the authors for correction with a consequent delay in publication. A number of common stylistic errors are also listed in the style guide. Unfortunately the Editorial Office of The Econometrics Journal is unable to offer a typesetting service to authors.

Authors also must assign copyright in their paper to the Royal Economic Society. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. To assist authors an appropriate Exclusive License Form will be supplied by the Editorial Office together with The Econometrics Journal Style Guide. Alternatively, authors can download the Exclusive Licence Form directly.
