# Journal of Corporate Finance (journal-of-corporate-finance)

## Journal positioning

The Journal of Corporate Finance is an Elsevier journal and the leading specialist outlet dedicated to corporate finance: governance, M&A, capital structure, payout, ownership, and the financial decisions of firms. It sits in the strong field tier, with an explicit emphasis on credible identification, and is the natural home for excellent corporate-finance work that is one notch narrower than a top-3 contribution. The readership is corporate-finance 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 Elsevier / JCF site and the editorial submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names JCF (or corporate-finance field venues) as the target venue.
- A corporate-finance paper is well-identified but narrower than a JF/JFE/RFS contribution and the author wants a specialist home.
- A general finance or governance paper needs re-framing as a firm-financial-decision contribution.
- The author needs JCF's desk-reject risks and a credible top-3 / elite-field alternative list.
