Innovating with the GEJ To take advantage of the latest technologies which are streamlining the academic publications process, IT&FA has embraced the trend toward electronic publication. Beginning in the autumn of 2004, Berkeley Electronic Press (BEP), a leader in electronic publications, has published the association's new journal. IT&FA believes this innovation will speed up the dissemination of scholarly research on the international economy, permit rapid publication of timely articles, and reduce production costs, benefiting readers, the authors, and the professions. For more information on BEP's approach, see http://www.bepress.com
Aims and Scope The GEJ seeks to publish original and innovative research, as well as novel analysis, relating to the global economy. While its main focus is economic, the GEJ is a multi-disciplinary journal. The GEJ's contents mirror the diverse interests and approaches of scholars involved with the international dimensions of business, economics, finance, history, law, marketing, management, political science, human ecology, and related areas. The GEJ also welcomes scholarly contributions from officials with government agencies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
One over-arching theme that unites IT&FA members is the complex globalization process, involving flows of goods and services, money, people, and information. As a result, the GEJ invites submissions that address important aspects of globalization. Such articles might focus on the flows mentioned above, key innovations and ideas that shape the globalization process, or on institutions, laws, and agreements (such as the WTO, the IMF, and the World Bank) that structure the global economy. Academic studies that weigh the impact of globalization on people, communities, nations, regions, industries, and business will also receive consideration. The GEJ also invites submissions on global economy issues that reach across traditional academic boundaries, and are interdisciplinary, or multi-disciplinary, in character. While the journal will consider narrower studies, submitters should strive to present their conclusions to a broader audience without sacrificing rigor or scientific validity. Globalization-related topics of particular relevance to the GEJ include but are not limited to:
| Commercial Policy | Labor Issues | | Communications | Law and Governance | | Comparative Studies | Managerial Decision Making | Cross-Cultural Issues | Marketing | | Diversity Issues | Multilateral Institutions | | Economic Development | Multinational Corporations | | Economic Integration | National and Regional Studies | | Exchange Rates | Outsourcing and Offshoring | | Finance and Investments | Pedagogical Issues | | Fiscal and Monetary Policy | Regionalism | | Globalization | Regulatory Issues | | Human Resource Management | Technology Transfer | | Information | Trade in Goods and Services | | Industry-Specific Issues | Transportation | | Intellectual Property |

General Submission Rules Any original work in the fields mentioned above can be submitted. Submitted articles cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book (print or electronic). "Publication" in a working-paper series, or conference proceedings, does not constitute prior publication. In addition, by submitting material to the GEJ, the author is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that he or she will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process at the GEJ. If you have concerns about these submission terms, please contact the editor. Who Can Submit? Anyone may submit an original article to be considered for publication in the Global Economy Journal provided he or she owns the copyright to the work being submitted or is authorized by the copyright owner or owners to submit the article. Authors are the initial owners of the copyrights to their works (an exception in the non-academic world to this might exist if the authors have, as a condition of employment, agreed to transfer copyright to their employer). Submissions Articles should be prepared in Microsoft Word format. The Global Economy Journal, like most other Berkeley publications, has no general rules about the formatting of articles for initial submission. There are rules governing the formatting of the final submission. See the attached document relating to final submissions. Review Process Using BEP's software to manage the review process from time of submission to time of publication, the GEJ strives to provide authors with a decision to publish (or not publish) within three months of submission. For unsolicited submissions, editors normally will seek at least two blind reviews from senior scholars in the field.
