Author's duties

The authors are committed to submit only original work. Therefore, submitted manuscript and already published research are unethical and unacceptable.

The manuscripts should include sufficient details and references for replication purposes. Only significantly contributing citations should be listed in the manuscripts.

The corresponding authors take full responsibility for the content and all legal aspects of their manuscripts.

Before they are sent to reviewers, all Journal of Academic Finance (JoAF)  papers are previewed by our editor-in-chief. The papers are also checked for their originality using a plagiarism software. However to our experience, there have been cases of plagiarism which the software has failed to detect. If there is doubt the originality of any part(s) of the work, reviewers have to inform the editor.

The authors should communicate any applicable funding or financial support of the research and the funder's relation to the contribution.

The authors are committed to inform the editor about discovered errors in their already published manuscripts.
