Style Guidelines for Accepted Papers

Bibliography Style

References to other work must appear on separate pages following the main text. References must be double-spaced and must be in the following form.

For other types of bibliographic entries, note that the CJE referencing style is obtained from the "author-date" system recommended in the Chicago Manual of Style except that periods are replaced with other symbols. In particular, the "city: publisher" combination is in parentheses, as is the date. A chapter title or paper is separated from a book or journal using a comma, and there is no period at the end of the reference. Using this "algorithm", other types of bibliographic entries can be determined using the Chicago Manual of Style.

Brief references to cited work should appear in the main text, not in footnotes. Use the form "the optimal harvesting trajectory for this problem is established in Clark (1990)". If you refer to two works by the same author published in the same year use "a" and "b", as in "Fortin (1995a)". If the references to the two works occur together use "Fortin (1995a,b)".
