# Review of Finance (review-of-finance)

## Journal positioning

Review of Finance is the flagship journal of the European Finance Association and the leading European top-tier finance journal, broad and rigorous across the major subfields. It sits just below the finance "top-3" (JF/JFE/RFS) in the elite tier: it wants serious, well-identified contributions to asset pricing, corporate finance, banking, and microstructure, and is a natural home for excellent work that is one notch narrower than a top-3 paper. The readership is international and spans the whole finance profession.

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 EFA / Review of Finance / Oxford site and the editorial submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names Review of Finance (or the elite European/field tier) as the target venue.
- A finance paper is strong and well-identified but narrower than a JF/JFE/RFS contribution, and the author wants a top elite-tier home.
- An applied paper using financial data needs re-framing into a finance contribution with a clear mechanism.
- The author needs Review of Finance's desk-reject risks and a credible top-3 / elite-field alternative list.
