Report of the Editor of The Journal of Finance for the Year 2005

摘要

I am happy to report that 2005 was another good year for The Journal of Finance. We received 1,377 submissions, of which 1,021 were new manuscripts. Both numbers again exceed the previous year's totals. In 2005 the Journal published 86 articles, written by authors whose primary affiliations include 92 different institutions. Table Ⅰ details the number and timing of submissions received throughout the year, and Table Ⅱ details the editorial decisions made, by round, during 2005. The primary affiliations are summarized in Table Ⅲ, which reports the number of authors per institution (where an article with n authors is counted as 1 articles for each author's institution). The institutions with the most JF authors last year were the University of Chicago (5 1/3) and the University of Pennsylvania (3 1/2).
