Journal of Banking and Finance Annual Report - 2020

Managing Editor: Geert Bekaert Co-Editors: Carol Alexander, Thorsten Beck

A few words from the Editors

In 2020, despite the unusual circumstances brought about by the pandemic, the Journal of Banking and Finance has continued its mission to increase the quality and impact of the journal. Our editorial process is now supported by a very strong set of Associate Editors. Since our last report, we have added three new Associate Editors. In terms of retiring Associate Editors, a special shout-out goes to Marcia Cornett, who was associated in some form of Editorial capacity with the Journal since 2006! Our acceptance rate has dropped to around 13% (down from 20% in 2010) and a general improvement in the quality of the submitted articles is now very noticeable. We continue to work hard to reduce turnaround times and the first decision reaches authors on average after 1.2 weeks for desk decisions and 11.1 weeks for first decisions after review. The Journal welcomes applications for Special Issues (SI), and we have 6 upcoming issues, including including two about the impact of the pandemic on Banking and Finance. Of special note in this regard, is a Special Issue in honor of Giorgio Szego, who was the cofounder of the Journal (with Marshall Sarnat and Edward Altman) and served as its Editorin-Chief of from 1977 to 2007. Importantly, we have completely streamlined the application process for Special Issues and have put procedures in place to ensure that the quality of SI articles matches that of regular journal articles. We hope that the attached statistics regarding our Board, submissions, publication, turnaround and impact are of interest.
