Working Papers

Part of the EGRG’s mission is to be accessible to new researchers, including postgraduate students and academics at an early stage in their careers. The EGRG Committee are therefore seeking to use the existing working paper series as a dedicated forum for early career researchers to publicise their research and receive constructive feedback from the committee.

Style

While we encourage the submission of different kinds of papers (including opinion, review, discussion and polemical pieces), papers should usually be a minimum of 5,000 words and a maximum of 9,000 words. Style should be consistent with previous Working Papers in the Series, including 1.5 or double spacing throughout, name and contact details of author(s), paper title, short abstract with keywords, footnotes where appropriate, and a separate list of references.

Any questions concerning the EGRGWorking Paper Series Prize for new research in economic geography should be addressed to the Editors, Dr James Faulconbridge (j.faulconbridge@lanc.ac.uk) and Dr John Harrison (j.harrison4@lboro.ac.uk). Working papers for publication should also be sent to the Editors.
