JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL INTERMEDIATION

《金融中介杂志》新的编辑委员会试图通过实施一项积极的桌面拒绝政策来简化编辑过程。我们预计，在没有详细审查程序的情况下，将拒绝绝大部分论文。通过这种方式，发表评论的论文最终有很大的机会被发表。虽然这项政策旨在将审查者的负担降到最低，但提交者应该期望他们的论文在编辑过程中得到更彻底的处理，前提是要得到推荐。被拒绝的书桌文章将不会退还提交费用。减少噪音和提高评审过程的透明度是新编辑政策的首要目标。在这种情况下，JFI正在简化其编委会结构，扩大副编委会。提交者现在可能希望他们的论文几乎完全由编辑委员会成员或与委员会成员同等专业的研究人员审查。同时，提交过程现在是单盲的，这意味着作者身份不会被隐藏。提交者可以选择负责提交的管理编辑。尽管如此，这些请求将在限制范围内得到满足。

The new Editorial Board of the Journal of Financial Intermediation seeks to streamline the editorial process by implementing an active desk-rejection policy. We anticipate that a significant fraction of papers will be rejected without a detailed reviewing process. In this way, papers going out for reviews have a significant chance of eventually being published. While the policy is meant to minimize the burden on reviewers, submitters should expect their papers to receive a more thorough treatment in the editorial process, conditional on being refereed. Desk-rejected articles will NOT be refunded the submission fee.Reducing noise and increasing transparency of the refereeing process is an overarching goal of the new editorial policy. In this vein, the JFI is simplifying its editorial board structure and expanding the board of associate editors. Submitters may now expect their papers to be reviewed almost exclusively by members of the editorial board, or by researchers whose expertise is at par with that of members of the board. At the same time, the submission process is now single-blind, implying that author identity will not be hidden. Submitters may choose the Managing Editor in charge of their submission. Such requests will be accommodated within constraints, nonetheless.
