(1) General guidelines:(a) In publishing articles, the copyright of both authors and the JapaneseSociety for Post Keynesian Economics will be attached in the bottomof the first page of each article.
(b) Articles that are considered for posting in PKR are in principle the ones
that were unpublished in other refereed English journals.

that was published locally, the manuscript will be taken up.
(d) Contributors should not make duplicate submission of the manuscript
to other refereed journals.

page. The short title is necessary for the running title. The lengthy information will be placed at the end of the article, after the Bibliography.
(b) When more than three authors contribute to one article, the first and thesecond authors are mentioned.

(d) The keywords should be included, up to 10.
(e) Contributors may list up JEL Classification codes, if they wish, afterthe keywords.
(f) Footnotes are permitted, but preferably as few as possible.
(3) Mathematical expressions, graphs, etc.
(a) PKR accepts mathematical articles. Avoid, however, very special notations or symbols that are employed only in professional journals ofmathematics, as much as possible.
(b) Mathematical symbols are mostly italicized by default in PKR.
(c) It is desirable that the mathematical work out will accompany the manuscript in order to assist referees. The mathematical work out will not
be published, even if the manuscript is accepted.
(d) Avoid the long mathematical expressions that must be folded, as muchas possible. Rather, employ temporary variables to make description
clear.
(e) In numbering equations, it is preferable that the group numbering suchas .1:1a/ and .1:1b/ is avoided.
(f) Theorems, Propositions, Lemmas etc. are numbered sequentially sectionwise. Proposition 2.2 comes after Lemma 2.1, for instance,(g) Graphs and diagrams should be drawn as precisely as possible. It ispreferable that contributors attach each of them in separate files.
(h) Colouring is permitted for drawing graphs and diagrams and creatingtables for better readability of the article.
(4) Style of Bibliography(a) In listing papers and publications, their names and titles should be reproduced in the same way as published.
(b) Authors’ names should be listed strictly as in the original publication.

2. LATEX manuscripts
This Guides itself is created by compiling the source TEX file with special style filesof the editorial board. Description about TEX related matters will be made here.
This section concerns manuscript prepared in LATEX in advance.
PKR is created by compiling TEX sources of accepted manuscripts. If the accepted article is not written in the TEX format, the translation will be made on theeditorial board side. This may take time and posting itself will be delayed.
If authors would like to have earlier posting, it is advised that the LATEX source
should be prepared in advance.
Today, many articles in economics seems to employ a lot of formula, data exhibitions and illustrations. PKR also expects such articles, so that it is important torealize the best layout of the pages as much as possible for both authors and readers. Editors think that the LATEX(or TEX)-based system gives the best appearance
and readability of contents to readers. Editors place one of the top weights on theappearance of articles, especially those containing tables and graphs as in the empirical studies or some symbols as in theoretical model analyses. This is why PKR
is published with the LATEX publishing system.
If the contributer creates PDF files from his/her TEX source files, the easiest
way to compile them is to use amsart.cls.
In near future, pkrart.cls will be made open.
Other well-maintained style files found in CTAN may be used by authors.
