Information for Authors
What you should know as a contributor
There are quite a number of authors who are writing on the developments in the field of economy. A number of these authors are very vast in this field, and most of them are looking to see their journal published, however, to no avail. Authors looking to see their work published should know that a quality article should not be devoid of outstanding research work.
The field of economics is a continually changing area, and this due to the fact that the economy of a nation is always evolving. Every minute and every second, new economic policies are being made, and as an author, you should see to it that you are updated on the topics you are working on for your publication. Old statistics is a minus to your work in a situation when there is some new statistics in place.
Again, plagiarised works are strictly prohibited. If you are writing for academic research or just as a result of publication sake, you must be as original as possible. Your study and finding would be assessed, and as such, you should do well to ensure that it is your own article that you submitted for the publication. When you fail to be original and choose to plagiarise an existing article, your article would be discredited and ultimately rejected. If you are writing an academic journal, plagiarism will not only discredit your article; it would also discredit you and everything you stand for. You are putting your academic status in jeopardy.
Authors who are seeking to get their works published should do well to also indicate the section in which they are writing. This would give the publisher the inkling to what the journal is about and the section in which it should be published.
It would also be advisable that before you submit your work, you should seek the assistance of an editor to help you review your work. This would help edit various forms of errors that might have arisen during your time of working on the article. It would be unfair on your own part if your work is rejected solely on the ground that it is littered with typographical errors and grammatical blunders. This is the work of an editor or a reviewer.
Authors writing on the economic policies of Australia are expected to write on current policies. If you as an author choose to write on past policies, you should do well to see to it you relate to present-day happenings. Again, your article should also entail mainly constructive criticism because destructive criticism is seen as baseless and of little relevance.
When you publish your work, you are at the same time, copyrighting it in a way. It is best you publish your works; this would prevent intellectual theft. When you are submitting, make sure you are sending it to the appropriate quarters. If you are to send through an electronic mailing system always ensure that you send your work to the right email address.
