ACRN Journal of Finance and Risk Perspectives (JOFRP)
(ISSN 2305-7394)
The global peer-reviewed research outreach of the ACRN Oxford Research Network, dedicated to interdisciplinary research perspectives in the fields of Finance, Risk and Accounting.
Journal description:
The JOFRP provides a forum for the dissemination of robust academic research that discusses and proposes field-driven solutions with the potential to change finance theory and practice and have an impact on the field. The journal clearly communicates insights on highly relevant topics for practice, policymakers and scholars alike.
The JOFRP, now in its 11th volume has been first published in 2012, and is a strictly academic, double-blind peer reviewed, open-access, indexed publication. All articles are indexed in EBSCO, and are fully searchable. It is included in SCOPUS and also listed in the Cabell Quality Publishing Database, which is typically relevant for tenure track evaluations in the US. It is in the review process of the Web of Science Emerging Sources Citation Index.
From 2023 on, the journal will only accept submissions with the Emerald Journal of Applied Accounting Research - SCOPUS, ANVUR:A, ABCD: B, AJG: 2 and many more,
ISSN: 0967-5426 - with the same editor in chief and the same mission.
Mission:
This journal is special because it aims to provide an outlet for inter-disciplinary and more in-depth research papers with various methodological approaches from the broad fields of Finance, Risk and Accounting. The target group of this journal are academics who want to get a better understanding of the interconnectedness of their fields by acknowledging the methods and theories used in closely related areas.
The JOFRP thus aims to overcome the self-imposed paradigmatic boundaries and reflexive isomorphisms of the individual, typically rather narrow fields and invites new and combined perspectives from the fields of Finance, Risk and Accounting. Despite its methodological, topical and disciplinary openness - it does so with a strong focus on academic rigour and robustness. Articles can vary in size and approaches but all articles will be strictly double-blind peer reviewed and authors are frequently invited to discuss the ramifications of their articles in the global ACRN Oxford FRAP and SSFII conferences.
Editorial Criteria:
Articles for the journal may be conceptual or empirical and qualitative or quantitative in their choice of methods. We particularly invite interdisciplinary approaches and rigorous scholarly papers that take up the outcomes of industry-academia collaborations and discuss their theoretical and practical implications. The manuscripts need to follow the JOFRP formatting guidelines and especially adhere to the maximum word-count of around 10.000 words. Besides scientific rigour, a good structure with a clear flow of arguments and a solid command of the English language, the journal also requires a clear relevance for its target audiences, a well explained contextualisation and carefully derived practical implications of the research with a sound reflection on theory.
Editorial Message:
“It is vital that any submission includes a discussion on the distinctiveness of the context in which the research takes place. What is more, the research needs to target and clearly develop a theoretical gap from the literature. A purely descriptive work would not be accepted for publication; rather the findings need to be discussed in the light of an extensive review of existing scholarship - and the implications and contributions need to be of theoretical as well as practical value.”
