See http://journals.cambridge.org/jid_JOI Our Track Record Publication in JOIE can bring huge visibility for your work. JOIE is widely available in its electronic version. One June 2005 article has already had over 1200 full text downloads. The hard copy circulation of the journal is over 500 and rapidly increasing. Furthermore, the JOIE editors are maintaining a fast and efficient reviewing process for authors. As with most journals, some papers are rejected without being sent out to referees. A remaining 89 papers have been processed (so far) after being sent out to referees. In 58 per cent of these 89 cases the author(s) were informed of a decision within 50 days. In 96 per cent of these 89 cases the author(s) were informed of a decision within 90 days. JOIE has served authors by providing a rapid decision in almost all cases. JOIE is devoted to the study of the nature, role and evolution of institutions in the economy, including firms, states, markets, money, households and other vital institutions and organizations. It welcomes contributions by all schools of thought that can contribute to our understanding of the features, development and functions of real world economic institutions and organizations. Submission should be made by email and electronic attachment to the JOIE Editor-in-Chief g.m.hodgson@herts.ac.uk Notes For Contributors All articles must be in English. They may be submitted by electronic means only, in a single file. MSWord, WordPerfect and pdf files are acceptable, up to a maximum size of 500kb. There must be no indication of the personal identity or institution of any author of the article within the article itself, or in the 'properties' of the electronic file. Normally, articles (including footnotes and references) must be no longer than 9,000 words. In special cases, such as an extended review or survey article, this limit may be extended to 12,000 words. A declaration of the total word count (including footnotes and references) must accompany or be within the article. Papers with some formal content will be considered if it is fully explained for a general readership, the mathematics is consigned as much as possible to appendices, the assumptions have sufficient grounding in reality, and the paper enhances our understanding of past, present, or feasible socio-economic institutions. JOIE is not interested in the advancement of formal or econometric technique for their own sake. The front page of the electronic file of the article should include the following information: the title; an abstract of the article of up to 150 words; the Journal of Economic Literature classification codes for the article (consisting of a single letter followed by two numeric digits, see www.aeaweb.org/journal/jel_class_system.html ); and up to six key words or short phrases.

Submissions should be accompanied, in the email text or in a separate file, with the following details: the name(s) of the author(s); the email address of the corresponding author; and the institutional affiliation(s) of the author(s). Submission of a paper will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
