The Financial Analysts Journal aims to be the leading practitioner journal in the investment management community. Over the last 76 years, the journal has continued to advance the knowledge and understanding of the practice of investment management through the publication of rigorous, peer-reviewed, practitioner relevant research from leading academics and practitioners.
We entertain submissions on all topics related to investment management provided that:
The findings are useful for investment practitioners.
The findings have inference and application to an investment management audience beyond a particular region or sector.
The exposition is not excessively theoretical or technical, although we recognize that a technical presentation may sometimes be necessary.
The arguments incorporate practical considerations, such as trading costs, liquidity, availability of information etc.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
