# Review of Finance Writing Style

Use this after the core result is stable. RoF is read across all of finance — empirical and
theoretical — and held to top-three-finance-journal standards, so the prose must make a
first-order contribution legible to a general finance reader fast, not read as a narrow
field-journal appendix. Polish only once identification/results (empirical) or
assumptions/results (theory) are settled.

## When to trigger

- The prose buries the contribution; a reader cannot find it quickly.
- The abstract exceeds 150 words or never states the finding.
- The introduction wanders before reaching the question and the result.
