Aims and scope

When submitting a manuscript, authors will be taken to a service called Paperpal Preflight, an AI-driven tool that checks manuscripts against the journal's author guidelines. Authors are free to use or bypass this step and submit directly to ScholarOne.

Journal of Capital Markets Studies (JCMS) publishes high-quality research in the areas of economics and finance, with a specific focus on research and commentary associated with the capital markets. The journal also explores the interface between academic research and practical application by disseminating new research findings alongside articles related to everyday professional practice.

The journal invites empirical or policy-related manuscripts (research paper, literature review, case studies) and welcomes theoretical contributions from academics as well, including book reviews.

•    Capital Markets and Financial Institutions
