“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.”
