SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS
All manuscripts are to be submitted by email until February 25, 2024
Send your ABSTRACTS to meacongress@gmail.com
All submissions must be prepared in accordance with the following instructions:
Abstracts submitted in English, Turkish. Submissions (doc. Times New Roman) should not normally exceed 7500 words and should be prefaced by an abstract of at least 350 words, together with up to five keywords, an address for correspondence and phone number. Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, exclusive licence of the article shall be granted to the Society.
SUBMISSION POLICY
The congress provides a focus for theoretical, applied, interdisciplinary, history of thought and methodological work, with strong emphasis on realistic analysis, the development of critical perspectives, the provision and use of empirical evidence, and the construction of policy. The Editors welcome submissions in this spirit on all social sciences.
USE OF MATHEMATICS
Authors are asked to use mathematics only when its application does not compromise realistic analysis. When mathematics is used, the major steps in the argument and the conclusions should be made intelligible to a non-mathematical reader. Authors should put the mathematical parts of their argument into an appendix.
LAYOUT
All copies must be in Journal style (see the sample), and double spaced (including footnotes and references). Footnotes should be kept to a minimum, indicated by superscript figures in the text, and collected on a single page placed at the end of the manuscript. Please do not use the automatic footnote feature of your word processing program. Tables and figures should be attached on separate sheets at the end of the manuscript and their position indicated in the text. Citations in the text should use the Harvard System of short references (e.g. Isenman, 1980, pp. 66-7; Brown, 1975A, 1993B) with a full alphabetical list at the end in the following style:
-
Isenman, P. 1980. Basic needs: the case of Sri Lanka, World Development , vol. 8, no. 3, 237-58
-
Myrdal, G. 1939. Monetary Equilibrium , London, Hodge
-
Phillips, A.W.H. 1953. 'Dynamic Models in Economics', PhD Thesis, University of London
-

COMMENTS ON PUBLISHED ARTICLES
Before submitting a comment (normally no more than 1500 words) on any article published in the Journal, a copy of the comment should be sent to the author of the original article with a request they respond to any points of possible misunderstanding. The comment should not be submitted for publication before this response has been received unless the original author does not reply within a reasonable time.
