Submission Guidelines

The Journal Of Investment Management (JOIM) (established in 2003) is a high quality, fully refereed publication, which bridges the theory and practice of investment management. The JOIM offers rigorous research with practical significance, drawing from the disciplines of finance, economics and accounting. Special issues on timely topics including distinguished authors who have both impressive academic and professional experience are a highlight. Our overall goal is to be mindful of the need to present the very best quality material in a form appealing to the practitioner, student and academic.

Manuscripts submitted to the (JOIM) for review must be original work, significant extensions of existing work or reviews for practitioners in the area of investment management and related fields, not currently under consideration with another publication,  part of a book to be published or any form of distribution.

Practitioner’s version of existing work is welcomed for submission.  The overriding principle is to emphasize market intuition versus theoretical detail. In addition, to the extent possible, additional data and conclusion extension(s) are desirable.  Practitioner’s Guidelines

It is understood that the author will not submit the article to another publication until a decision has been reached by the editorial board.  Once a manuscript is accepted for publishing, JOIM holds the copyright.   Any and all content may not be copied, posted on websites and/or distributed without JOIM’s consent.  Author(s) of accepted papers are prohibited from publishing the results in other publications that appear before/after the paper is published in the Journal unless they receive approval for doing so from the managing editor.   Further, all “working papers” must reference JOIM.

Our framework for editorial review is fundamental to our mission. Aside from the double blind refereeing of all manuscripts, authors are encouraged to place equations in a technical appendix with each equation accompanied by a descriptive interpretation in words.

Call For Papers
The JOIM is currently accepting manuscript submissions in the area of investment management and related fields.   Asset allocation, optimization, retirement investing and liquidity are of particular interest.

Where to Submit a Manuscript
