The style notes listed below should be used as a general guideline for authors.

  1. Manuscripts submitted must be typed, double-spaced, and approximately 25 pages in length.
  2. Because the manuscripts are blind refereed, only the title is shown at the top of the first page of text. The title, author's name, academic title, and institutional affiliation should appear in a separate file.
  3. Only explanatory footnotes are numbered in the text; their use should be minimal.
  4. A compilation of bibliographic entries should appear at the end of the manuscript under the heading “References.”
  5. Bibliographic entries within the text should include name and date (i.e., as in Smith (1987) or John Doe (1984) says ...). Parentheses, not brackets, should be used.
  6. References should include month, year, volume, and issue.
  7. Tables and figures should have titles as well as numbers (arabic). Figures must be embedded within the file and should be no larger than 4.75 inches x 6.75 inches. Figures should not include titles, but should include labels. Labels should be in 8 point Arial or a similar sans serif typeface.
  8. Each article must be accompanied by an abstract of 150 words or less.
  9. The submission fee must be paid before review begins. Accepted manuscripts must be submitted in acceptable form (Microsoft Word) or an additional fee will be assessed. The tax ID number is 47-0491233. Our e-mail address is myoung1@unl.edu.

Editorial Philosophy

The Quarterly Journal of Finance and Accounting provides a unique forum for new and replicative works and articles that synthesize the literature in finance and accounting, especially topics that bridge the disciplines.

The QJFA editorial board strives to publish high caliber papers in finance, economics, accounting, and related fields. Seminal papers by Edward J. Kane (QJBE, 1984) and Robert A. Mittelstaedt and Thomas S. Zorn (QJBE, 1984) provide the theoretical underpinnings for the QJFA's editorial philosophy

The Quarterly Journal of Finance and Accounting has published diverse authors such as John Maynard Keynes, Paul A. Volcker, Murray Weidenbaum, Hyman Minsky, Juanita Kreps, Robert Solow, and Paul McCracken.
