Aims and Scope

Aims

The journal Financial Advisor aims to provide a platform for high-quality original research articles, review papers, and short communications across all areas of finance. We strive to foster rigorous theoretical and empirical research and to create an environment that encourages the exchange of ideas among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.

The journal is committed to promoting diversity, inclusiveness, and the representation of finance research from all regions of the world. To this end, we particularly welcome contributions from underrepresented research communities. This includes, but is not limited to, researchers from developing regions in the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Africa, South America, and Asia. We also encourage submissions from scholars from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as those working on unconventional or underexplored topics in finance. Our mission is not only to broaden the reach of published research but also to challenge and diversify traditional perspectives within the field of finance.

The editorial team is dedicated to ensuring a timely and efficient peer-review process, supported by high-quality reviews from leading scholars in the field. We work closely with authors to facilitate the successful publication of their papers.

In line with our commitment to the broad sharing of knowledge, the journal operates under an open-access model. This means that all content is freely available to users and institutions without charge. Users are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, link to, or use the full text of articles for any lawful purpose without prior permission from the publisher or the author.
