# Journal of Risk and Uncertainty (journal-of-risk-and-uncertainty)

## Journal positioning

The Journal of Risk and Uncertainty is the leading specialist journal on decision-making under risk and uncertainty. It publishes work on expected utility and its alternatives, ambiguity, behavioral decision theory, and the valuation of risks to life and health — spanning economics, psychology, and decision science. What wins here is a paper that advances how we model or measure choice under risk: a new theory of preferences, a clean test discriminating among models, or a credible valuation of risk. The readership is decision theorists, risk-and-insurance economists, and behavioral researchers.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Springer / journal site and the submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names JRU as the target venue.
- A paper on risk preferences, ambiguity, or risk valuation needs a specialist decision-science home.
- A behavioral or experimental paper centers on choice under risk/uncertainty and needs re-framing toward the decision-theory contribution.
- The author needs JRU's desk-reject risks and a credible decision-science / behavioral alternative list.
