What do the editors say?

Here is what our editors have to say about their journals and the type of research they are interested in receiving.

Finance Research Letters: we publish today what your colleagues talk about tomorrow. “Finance Research Letters is delighted to be part of the Elsevier Finance ecosystem. As one of the most impactful journals in Finance, we aim at providing authors with a first decision within a few weeks. Finance Research Letters welcomes all submissions in Finance and is particularly interested in topical issues.”

Samuel Vigne

Co-Editor-in-Chief Finance Research Letters

“IRFA, as a general finance journal with an international perspective, recognizes that quality work within its scope may well be found elsewhere. By being part of the ecosystem, we believe that we can more easily capture and publish these papers through our network of editors who will best identify the journal most likely to be receptive to a paper.

“IREF has as its scope papers that fall across economics and finance and is especially interested in papers that draw from both disciplines. Recognizing that papers such as these might be "hard to place", we believe that being members of the Ecosystem allows the authors some comfort as to their paper being directed to the most appropriate journal.”

Jonathan Batten

Editor, Journal of International Financial Markets, Institutions & Money

“I'm delighted to co-edit the International Review of Economics and Finance(opens in new tab/window).”

“At IREF, we are determined to push the boundaries and invite submissions in novel, emerging and impactful areas of economics and finance. Some of our cutting edge Special Issues coming up include AI and ML in finance, NFTs, cryptocurrencies, sustainable and green finance, financial literacy, and household finance to name a few. IREF commits to providing fast editorial decisions and constructive feedback. I look forward to reading all submissions!”

Arman Eshraghi

Associate Editor, International Review of Economics and Finance

"Research in International Business and Finance, along with the other journals in the Elsevier finance ecosystem now can assign papers to be language edited, as a free-of-charge author service, as a free-of-charge author service funded from submission fees."

"The language editing service facilitates RIBAF reaching out to emerging author bases. A good copy edit helps with more than just basic grammatical issues or instinctual nuances of native-English speakers. It also helps emerging authors correctly fashion their articles to standard academic language construction."
