The Global Review of Finance and Economics (GRFE) is a peer-reviewed, international, gold open-access journal published by Summit Publisher LLC, a US-based academic publisher. The journal publishes original empirical and theoretical research that advances understanding across the disciplines of finance and economics, including their intersection with quantitative methods and public policy. GRFE serves researchers, economists, financial analysts, and policy makers, and welcomes submissions from all geographic regions and methodological traditions, provided that the work meets the journal's standards for analytical depth, transparency, and scholarly contribution.
GRFE maintains a dual editorial focus: the evolving dynamics of global capital markets, financial institutions, and corporate governance on the one hand, and the macroeconomic and microeconomic frameworks that shape fiscal policy, monetary systems, and development economics on the other. Submissions are invited across twelve core topic areas, ranging from capital markets and asset pricing, corporate finance and governance, banking and financial institutions, to digital economy and financial innovation, behavioral finance, environmental and energy economics, and financial risk management and insurance. The journal does not publish purely descriptive studies, textbook-style reviews without critical analysis, or work that lacks clear methodological grounding.
The journal operates a centralized double-blind peer-review system supported by automated anonymization protocols and mandatory iThenticate similarity screening on every submission. The journal targets a first editorial decision within 21 calendar days of submission, subject to reviewer availability and the requirements of the manuscript. Editorial governance is aligned with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines, and a strict separation is maintained between business operations and editorial decision-making.
GRFE publishes fully open-access articles under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license, with authors retaining copyright of their work. Accepted articles are professionally copyedited, typeset, and tagged with structured metadata, and each published article receives a permanent Crossref DOI upon registration. Articles are published online on a continuous basis and compiled into quarterly, volume-based issues. GRFE is the inaugural title in Summit Publisher LLC's Economic and Financial Sciences Series
