Organization of the article and style of presentation

Organization of the article and style of presentation

Articles must be written in English. Authors whose native language is not English should seek the advice of a competent English speaker, if possible, before submitting their articles.

Kindly ensure that:

Articles are prepared with wide margins and double spacing throughout, including the abstract and footnotes.
Every page of the article, including the title page, tables, etc., must be numbered.
In the text no reference are to be made to page numbers. If required, the author can refer to sections.
Avoid excessive use of italics and bold face.

Kindly organize the article as follows:

Title page
Body of text (divided by subheadings), and will also contain:
- Tables
- Charts
- Figures
- References (in parenthesis)
Numbered endnotes and references at the end of the text
Headings and subheadings should be numbered and typed on a separate line

SI units should be used, i.e. the units based on the metre, kilogramme, second, etc.

Note: 1 billion = 1,000,000,000 or 10⁹ (in words: which is a thousand million)

Title page

The title page should contain:

Title (should be clear, descriptive, and not too long)
Name(s) of author(s); please indicate who is the corresponding author
Present address of author(s); complete address of corresponding author, including telephone number, fax number and e-mail address
Abstract should be clear, descriptive, self-explanatory and not longer than 200 words

Tables

Number the tables as Table 1, Table 2, etc. and refer to them in the text.
Each table should have a brief and self-explanatory title at the bottom of the table. Mention the source as well.

Example:

Kushana ruler

Percentage of gold content

Kadphises II

97.6—98.5

Kanishka I

95.4—99.5

Huvishka

91.4—99.3

Vasudeva

86.1—98.1

Kanishka II

87.6—97.5

Table 1: Gold content in Kushana coins. After S.K. Maity, Early Indian Coins and the Currency System, 1970.

Column headings should be brief, but sufficiently explanatory. Standard abbreviations of units of measurement should be added between parentheses.

Figures and Charts

Number figures and charts as Figure 1, Figure 2, or Chart 1, Chart 2, etc. and refer to them in the text.
All figures must be properly captioned. Captions should be placed at the bottom of the figure or chart, and source clearly mentioned.

For the file formats of the figures please ensure that:

All illustrations are in CMYK images in tiff or jpeg format and have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.

TAER follows the author-date system (Ostrom, 1990) with a complete reference to the source in the reference list at the end of the paper. It also uses endnotes, which are gathered at the end of the paper and are indicated by superscripts in the text (UNEP¹ lists the barriers toward creating markets); they are placed before the references.

For group citations, order sources alphabetically (Gadgil and Guha 1994; Ostrom, 1990; Sen, 1999)
Use et al. (full stop after al) when citing works by more than two authors
To distinguish different works by same writer in a year use the letters a ,b, c, and so on (Sen 2008a, 2008b)

If you refer to the title of a book or journal, capitalize all nouns, verbs (including is and other forms of be), adjectives, adverbs and pronouns. (Do not capitalize coordinate conjunctions (and, but, for, nor), prepositions less than four letters and articles a, an the, unless they are at the beginning of the heading) (Writing: Theory and History of the Technology of Civilization).
Use sentence casing and double quotes for title of an article in a journal or collection of papers, or for the title of book chapter, working paper, and report (“Making wildlife economically viable for communities living around the western Serengeti”).
If you use a source that was cited in another source, name the original source in your signal phrase. List the secondary source in your reference list and include the secondary source in the parentheses.
Roy argued that ... (as cited in Habib, 2004, p. 102).
For electronic sources use the author-date system. Bandopadhyay (2000) stated that …

Please ensure that all sources cited in the text appear in the reference list.
