Electronic Submission Information All papers must be submitted electronically. Click here to enter the submission site.
Acceptable formats for electronic submission include Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, and RTF. In preparing Acrobat files, make sure that all fonts are embedded, and it is recommended that the document be created using Distiller. Fees for submission are $70.00 for AFA members and $140.00 for nonmembers. The following style instructions should be followed in manuscripts submitted for publication in the Journal of Finance. 1. All submitted manuscripts must be original work that is not under submission at another journal or under consideration for publication in another form, such as a monograph or chapter of a book. Authors of submitted papers are obligated not to submit their paper for publication elsewhere until an editorial decision is rendered on their submission. Further, authors of accepted papers are prohibited from publishing the results in other publications that appear before the paper is published in the Journal unless they receive approval for doing so from the managing editor. 2. Manuscripts must be clearly typed with double spacing throughout. The pitch must not exceed 12 characters per inch, and the character height must be at least 10 points. All text should be double-spaced. 3. The cover page shall contain the title of the manuscript, and an abstract of not more than 100 words. The title page should not include the names of the authors, their affiliations, or any other identifying information. That information must be input separately as part of the on-line submission. 4. An abstract, of no more than 100 words, must be entered or pasted into a separate text box as part of the on-line submission. 5. The introductory section must have no heading or number. Subsequent headings should be given Roman numerals. Subsection headings should be lettered A, B, C, etc. 6. The article should end with a non-technical summary statement of the main conclusions. Lengthy mathematical proofs and very extensive detailed tables should be placed in an appendix or omitted entirely. The author should make every effort to explain the meaning of mathematical proofs. 7. Footnotes. 8. Tables. 9. Figures. 10. Equations. All but very short mathematical expressions should be displayed on a separate line and centered. Equations must be numbered consecutively on the right margin, using Arabic numerals in parentheses. Use Greek letters only when necessary. Do not use a dot over a variable to denote time derivative; only D operator notations are acceptable. 11. References.
