International context

IJGE is an international journal and authors should be aware of the worldwide readership.Authors are encouraged to approach their chosen topic with an international perspective

It should not be assumed that the reader is familiar with specific national instruments,institutions or corporations.Countries and groupings of countries should be referred to by their full title.Special attention should be paid to identifying units if currency by nationality.Accronyms should be translated in full into English.(See also " Translated Works") References and Notes

IJGE uses the Harvard (name and date) short reference system for citations in the text with a detailed alphabetical list at the end of the paper.For example "Hamel (2000) suggests ....................................."

Articles without correct references will be returned for further work and will not be sent out for review.Articles not in word format will also be returned for conversion to word.

If you feel you would like to publish with us first in a less academic journal to try out your writing skills then please do submit your article to The Green Economist by sending to greeneconomicsinstitute@yahoo.com but mark in the title of the email clearly for which journal it is intended.

I look forward to receiving your abstracts, ideas and articles.
