Integration & Trade Journal - Call for Papers

Integration & Trade Journal - Introduction

Trade and International Organization of Production in Latin America and the Caribbean

As above questions suggest the call is focused on a single issue, global value changes and its importance for Latin America and the Caribbean, but papers are invited to address a wide range of topics within the field covering case studies, national and regional dimensions, relevant experiences of other regions and lessons for LAC countries.

Paper Submission Guidelines:

The Editorial Committee shall review the papers submitted and select the ones to be published.
The papers may be written in Spanish, English, French or Portuguese.
All papers must be accompanied by the author’s personal information (name and nationality), a brief academic and professional CV, and contact information (e-mail and telephone).
Papers shall be limited to 4000 words in length, and shall be sent together with an abstract of not more than 200 words.
The submission of a paper to INTAL for its possible publication entails the author’s commitment not to submit it simultaneously to other journals.
Papers should be accessible to a broader public, other than the specialized community; hence, it is suggested that mathematical formulas be avoided.
Should tables and/or figures be included in the papers, they must be sufficiently clear, with no abbreviations, and with specific indication of the units to which they make reference. Decimal figures as well as any numeral symbols should be expressed in the language in which the paper is written (e.g. 1,00, in Spanish; 1.00, English). The notes and sources shall be included at the foot of tables and/or figures. Any tables, figures and diagrams included in the Word document shall also be sent in Excel format to allow their full edition. To the extent possible, such tables and figures shall be placed in separate sheets at the end of the paper with specific references in the text as to where they should be inserted.
The Integration & Trade Journal reserves the right to introduce any editorial changes it may deem necessary.
A test file in PDF format shall be sent to the authors prior to publication. Only minor corrections shall be accepted with respect to the contents (no editing changes are permitted) within the term set forth by INTAL. If no reply is received from the authors within this term, the PDF file shall be considered accepted for its electronic publication.
All acronyms should be spelt out, at least the first time they are used, in the text and also in the bibliography, tables and figures. Notes should be kept to a minimum, and lengthy notes are strongly discouraged. They shall be numbered consecutively throughout the paper using Arabic numbers. Bibliographical references within the text shall consist of the author’s last name, year of publication and relevant pages; for instance: (Herrera [1974] pp. 10-12). No bibliographical references shall be included as a footnote and/or endnote. The full bibliographical references shall be alphabetically arranged at the end of the text, as follows: (a) author’s last name and name; (b) title of the article, between inverted commas, and the name of the journal or title of the book in which the article was published, in italics; (c) volume and number of the publication; (d) city; (e) publisher; (f) date or year of publication. Examples:

Herrera, Felipe. América Latina: experiencias y desafíos. Buenos Aires: BID-INTAL. 1974.
Ons-Indart, Carlos. “El principio de reciprocidad en el tratado de Montevideo,” in Derecho de la Integración, Vol. III, No 6. Buenos Aires: BID-INTAL. April, 1970.
The Integration & Trade Journal reserves the right to modify the format and style at its sole discretion.
Papers should be sent to pubintal@iadb.org.
The deadline for paper submission is January 15, 2010.
