Report of the Editor of the Journal of Finance for the Year 2011

摘要

I AM HAPPY TO REPORT that 2011 was another good year for the Journal of Finance. We received 1,300 submissions, of which 1,162 were new manuscripts. The number of new submissions rose by 11% from 2010. Resubmissions increased from 123 in 2010 to 138 in 2011. Note that in 2009 the Journal of Finance stopped counting "style" revisions in the official revision count, which accounts for the sharp drop in resubmissions after 2008.
