For contributors
Submission of papers
All articles must be submitted electronically. Submission of an article will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere.
The author who submitted the article for publication will be denoted as a corresponding author. He/She manages all communication and correspondence with the Financial Theory and Practice team regarding the article, makes any revisions, reviews and releases the author proofs.
In order to submit a manuscript, you first need to register.
Procedure with submitted articles
All papers submitted to the journal undergo a routine detection of plagiarism through the iThenticate service (CrossCheck).
Upon the receipt of follow-up recommendations, the Editors make the final decision whether to publish the paper. They may ask the authors to make additional changes before the paper is published.
The submissions are first evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief and at least one Editor. They can reject the submission without sending it to reviewers if they determine that the paper is unlikely to be published. The authors are normally informed within two weeks about the standing of their submission: editorial rejection or initiation of the peer-reviewing process.
All manuscripts that pass the initial editorial review are processed with the aid of standard plagiarism checking software. Those that satisfy the criteria of originality are subsequently sent for double-blind peer review.
The Editors send the manuscript to at least two reviewers in anonymised form. The reviewers normally return their reports within four weeks. The Editors review their reports and inform the corresponding author whether the paper is rejected or needs to be revised and resubmitted.
The revised-and-resubmitted manuscripts are sent back to reviewers for follow-up recommendations, which are normally returned within two weeks. Several rounds of review and revision may be required.
Preparing your manuscript
We prefer to receive manuscripts in Microsoft Word .docx or .doc format, written in Times New Roman, font size 12, line spacing 1.5. Normally, articles (including footnotes and references) should be no longer than 12,000 words.
The submitted article should include the title of the article; JEL classification code; a short summary, not longer than 150 words; and up to six keywords. The article should not contain names, affiliations or any other properties of authors.
