Types
of manuscripts:
The Finance Journal considers for publication full-length
articles and short-length articles of 1000 to 2000 words.
Short-length articles can generally be published sooner
than full length articles. All material submitted will
be acknowledged on receipt. Full-length articles are
subject to peer review. Copies of the referees' comments
will be forwarded electronically to the author along
with the editor's decision.
Copyright:
No
finance journal article can be published unless accompanied
by a signed publication agreement, which serves as a
transfer of copyright from author to the JIFAM Journal.
A publication agreement may be obtained here. Only original
papers will be accepted and copyright in published papers
will be vested in the publisher. It is the author's
responsibility to obtain written permission to reproduce
material that has appeared in another publication.

All
manuscripts must be submitted electronically in one
of the following formats: Html, ASCII, RTF Microsoft

bear the title of the paper and the full names of the
authors as well as their affiliations, full postal and
e-mail addresses. In the case of multiple authors, please
indicate which author is to receive correspondence.
Financial support may be acknowledged within the article
to avoid footnotes. A list of keywords along with an
informative abstract of 200 words or less is required
for full-length articles.
Style:
In
general, the style should follow the forms given in
the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association (Washington, DC: 1994).
Organization:
In
general, the background and purpose of the article should
be stated first, followed by details of the methods,
materials, procedures, and equipment used. Findings,
discussion and conclusions should follow in that order.
Appendices are not encouraged. The APA Publication Manual
should be consulted for details as needed.
Figures:
Figures
should be kept to a minimum and be used only when absolutely
necessary. They should be prepared and submitted in
one of the following forms: JPEG File Interchange (jpg),

should not exceed width of 450 pixels.
Bibliography:
The
accuracy and completeness of the references is the responsibility
of the author. References to personal letters, paper
presented at meetings, and other unpublished material
may be included. If such material may be of help in
the evaluation of the paper, copies should be made available
to the Editor. Papers which are part of a series should
include a citation of the previous paper. Explanatory
material may be appended to the end of a citation to
avoid footnotes in text. The format for citations in
text for bibliographic references follows the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association (4th
ed., 1994). Citation of an author's work in the text
should follow the author-date method of citation; the
surname of the author(s) and the year of publication
should appear in text. For example,
Paisley (1993) found that...
Recent research has shown that...(Schauder, 1994)
In other work (Gordon & Lenk, 1992; Harman, 1991)...

developers, and practitioners in schools, industry,
and government; administrators, policy decision-makers,
and other specialists in computer information systems.

submit their articles in their standard culturally accepted
form.
