Only original papers not previously published or simultaneously submitted for publishing elsewhere should be submitted. Submitted papers need to be prepared according to the Panoeconomicus instructions for authors.

The authors should adhere strictly to the author's instructions for submission. Papers that do not adhere to the instructions will not enter the reviewing process.

The authors should state the funding source for the research presented in the paper in a footnote on the first page.
Papers must be submitted in both Microsoft Word and PDF formats, using Times New Roman font (size 10,5 regular), in Latin alphabet, normal character spacing and single paragraph spacing (before: 0 pt, after: 0 pt, line spacing: single). Page setup:

Word Limits. The text of the paper should be at least 10.000 words. The length of the introduction is limited to two-thirds of the page.

Publication Charges: There are no submission fees, publication fees or page charges for this journal.

ORCiD: All authors who submit papers to Panoeconomicus must have an ORCID iD. To add your ORCID iD when registering on the journal website to make a submission, please follow these steps:
1. From the options on the screen during the registration process, select "Create or Connect your ORCID iD."
2. Complete the process as directed to ensure your ORCID iD is linked with your submission.
An ORCiD is a digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher, no matter how common your name is. It ensures that you and your research activities can be easily identified, meaning you get the credit for all the work you do. Getting an ORCID iD is free for researchers.

AI and AI-assisted technologies: Authors should not list AI (artificial intelligence) and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author, nor cite AI as an author. Authors should disclose in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies and a statement will appear in the published work, except for its use for grammar or spell checking.

Paper title and author(s). The title should be as concise as possible. The author's name and institution should follow the title. Behind the name of the author(s), a footnote should be inserted containing the e-mail address(es) of the author(s), as well as an identification (by an asterisk) for the corresponding author. The papers should be submitted by a maximum of three authors for the current issues and four authors for the special issues of the journal. 

Abstract. The abstract, with a length of 50-150 words, should be at the beginning of the paper. At the end of the summary, keywords should be included (up to five keywords). At least one classification code to the Classification System for the Journal Articles, as used by the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL), should be included.

Reference to individuals in the text should include the first name, middle initial, and last name on first reference. Subsequent references should include last name only. Do NOT use titles such as Mister, Doctor, Professor, etc. For example: Alan S. Blinder (2006) [first reference], Blinder (2006) [subsequently].

Organizations or governmental agencies in the text. On first references use the full name followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Subsequent references should use abbreviation only. For example: Social Science Research Council (SSRC) [first reference], SSRC [subsequently].

Reference to articles and books in the text. Give full name (first name, middle initial, and last name) of the author(s) and year of publication in the first citation, with the page number(s) where appropriate. For example: Glenn Firebaugh (1999) [first reference]; Firebaugh (1999) [subsequently]; Andrea Boltho and Gianni Toniolo (1999) [first reference], Boltho and Toniolo (1999) [subsequently]; Albert Berry, Francois Bourguignon, and Christian Morrisson (1983) [first reference], Berry, Bourguignon, and Morrisson (1983) [subsequently]. When more than one work by the same author is cited, give the last name of author and year of publication in parentheses for each subsequent citation. When listing a string of references within the text, arrange first in chronological order, then alphabetically within years. If there are four or more authors, refer to the first author, followed by et al. and the year; for example: Stefan Folster et al. (1998). If there is more than one publication referred to in the same year by the author(s), use the year and a, b, etc. (example: 1997a, b). References to authors in the text must exactly match those in the Reference section.

Quotations. Any quotation, regardless of its length, needs to be followed by reference including page number. For any quotation longer than 350 characters, an author must have written approval by copy rights owner that needs to be enclosed.

Tables, charts, and pictures. Tables must be made in Word or a Word compatible format (tables should be transferred into Word format). Same data may not be presented both in tables and charts. Every table, chart, or picture should be appropriately numbered and named, e.g.: Table 2 The Reliability of the Variables.
Figures, graphs, pictures, etc. will not be redrawn by the publisher; they should be high-quality GRAYSCALE graphics (please, do NOT use colors): vector drawings with text converted to curves (cdr, ai) or 300 dpi bitmaps (jpg, tiff). Please do not supply any graphics copied from a website, as the resolution will be too low. Each picture, figure, graph, etc. should be in a separate file.
Tables, pictures, graphs, formulas, etc. should NOT extend beyond the margins. The maximum space available for tables, figures, pictures, graphs, etc. is 12,5 cm (width) x 18 cm (height).

If an illustration from a printed source is used, written authorization from the copyright owner is required. Sources should be placed below tables, charts, and pictures. References in the source are used in the same way as in the text. If the tables, charts, and figures are author calculations, reviews, or estimations, that should also be emphasized.

Statistics. The results of statistical tests need to be provided in the following form: F (1.9) =25.35; p<.001 or similar. Lower number of conventional P levels should be stated (e.g.: .05, .01, .001). Formulas should be created using Microsoft Equation Editor. The maximum width of formulas should not exceed 12 cm.

References. Panoeconomicus use AEA rules for references. The reference section must be single-spaced, beginning on a new page following the text, giving full information. Use full names of authors or editors using initials only if that is the usage of the particular author/editor. List all author/editors up to/ including 10 names. Authors of articles and books and material without specific authors or editors, such as government documents, bulletins, or newspapers, are to be listed alphabetically. All references in the Reference section should be referenced (included) in the text.

The DOI number should be added at the end of each paper used in reference, if available. Please use the following link to look up this information:http://www.crossref.org/guestquery/
For example:
Arestis, Philip, Carolina Troncoso Baltar, and Daniela Magalháes Prates. 2016. "Brazilian Economic Performance since the Emergence of the Great Recession: The Effects of Income Distribution on Consumption."Panoeconomicus, 63(2): 157-174. http://dx.doi.org/10.2298/PAN1602157A

Appendix. In the appendix, only those descriptions of material that would be useful for readers to understand, evaluate, or revise research should be provided.

Footnotes and abbreviations. Footnotes should be avoided. If necessary, references in the footnotes should be used in the same way as in the text. Abbreviations should also be avoided, except from exceptionally usual. The abbreviations stated in tables and pictures should be explained.

Reviews and publishing. All papers are anonymously reviewed by two anonymous reviewers. On the basis of reviews, editorial staff make decisions on paper publishing and inform the author about it.

Language editing. Authors whose first language is not English should ask a native speaker to proofread the manuscript before the submission. There are also a number of services that provide mentoring, advice, and copyediting to support authors unfamiliar with writing academic research papers for publication in international journals. Authors are encouraged to make the use of services such as AuthorMate: https://www.authormate.ai  if necessary.
