Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

  • This submission meets the requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • This submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration.
  • All references have been checked for accuracy and completeness.
  • All tables and figures have been numbered and labeled.
  • Permission has been obtained to publish all photos, datasets and other material provided with this submission.

Articles

Research Articles are original, scholarly contributions that present substantial theoretical, empirical, methodological, or applied research in finance, economics, and related fields. Submissions must demonstrate a clear research objective, appropriate methodology, sound analysis, and conclusions supported by the evidence presented.

Manuscripts submitted to this section undergo editorial screening followed by external peer review in accordance with the journal's peer-review policy. Authors are responsible for ensuring that submissions are original, ethically conducted, properly referenced, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Research Articles should normally contain a title, abstract, keywords, introduction, relevant literature or theoretical framework, methodology, results or analysis, discussion, conclusion, references, and any required declarations. The exact structure may vary according to the nature of the research.

Authors should follow the journal's manuscript preparation and formatting requirements. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal's basic submission requirements may be returned to authors before peer review. 

Review Articles

Review Articles provide comprehensive and critical examinations of established research, theories, methods, and developments in finance, economics, and related fields. Reviews should synthesize the relevant literature, identify important developments and research gaps, and provide a clear scholarly perspective supported by appropriate sources.

Submissions undergo editorial assessment and external peer review. Authors should demonstrate a systematic and critical approach appropriate to the type of review submitted and should clearly describe the scope and methodology of the literature review where applicable.

Research Notes

Research Notes present concise original research findings, methodological observations, preliminary results, focused empirical analyses, or other scholarly contributions that can be communicated effectively in a shorter format than a full Research Article.

Submissions must contain a clear research contribution and sufficient methodological and evidentiary detail to support the conclusions. Research Notes are subject to editorial assessment and peer review under the journal's standard scholarly review process.
