About the Journal

The Journal is a double-blind reviewed journal that is listed in Cabell's Directories. The Journal was founded by members of the Academy of Finance (AOF), which is one of twelve affiliated organizations that meet annually in Chicago, IL at the Midwest Business Administration Association International (MBAA) meetings in the late winter or early spring. While some of the papers submitted to the Journal are papers that were presented at the MBAA/AOF conference and later improved based upon the feedback received at the meetings, the Journal is open to all submissions from authors outside of the AOF membership. 

Editors of the Journal of Finance Issues recognize a distinguished paper and an outstanding reviewer annually. The announcement of these recognitions is made during the annual conference and a list of past recipients is maintained here on the journal's website.

We are pleased to invite you to submit your paper for possible publication in the Journal of Finance Issues. Any new empirical or theoretical papers in all areas of Finance are welcome including but not limited to Corporate Finance, Investments, Financial Institutions, Global Finance, Real Estate, Risk Management and Insurance, Derivatives, Personal Finance, and Financial Education.  No preference is given to papers that were submitted by members over those submitted by non-members. 

The Journal of Finance Issues is committed to providing a platform for scholars to showcase their innovative work.  Here's what we offer:

  • Constructive Peer Review: Our double-blind peer review process guarantees insightful and valuable feedback on your research from scholars in your field.
  • Fast Turnaround Time: We prioritize efficient review, aiming to provide you with a decision on your manuscript within 6 weeks of submission.
  • No Submission Fee: There is no charge to submit your paper to the Journal of Finance Issues.
  • Publication Fee: Upon acceptance for publication, a one-time publication fee of $200 will apply. This fee helps defray the costs associated with the peer review process, high-quality production, and dissemination of your research to a global audience.

We look forward to receiving your papers.
