Abstract

In this editorial we look at some of the developments at the International Journal of Finance and Economics (IJFE) since the appointment of the new editorial team in November 2021. We outline the changes we have instituted to raise the international profile of the IJFE further. These include changes to its Aims and Scope and the appointment of a team of active associate editors to ensure that articles sent for review are all double-blind refereed and potential conflicts of interest eliminated to maintain the highest standards. We also set out our targets for dealing with new submissions in a timely manner. The IJFE is also to be fully aligned with the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) which aims to shift emphasis away from journal-based metrics, such as impact factor, aimed at providing a more equitable view of research impact. We also emphasise the IJFE commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion both in the diversity of authors publishing in the journal and in the composition of its editorial team. Finally, each of the editors outlines their ambitions for the IJFE.
