This guide assists authors in preparing research materials for submission to the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI), adhering to Elsevier Option C. It provides detailed instructions on managing, depositing, citing, and linking research data, code, and algorithms—whether the data is public, proprietary, or restricted (e.g., central bank registers). The goal is to ensure methodological rigor and reproducibility through the Data Statement.

This guide provides a comprehensive strategic overview of the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI)'s unique submission process. It details the reality of active desk-rejection, the single-blind review format, and the expectations for engaging with a single expert referee. It is designed to help authors calibrate their manuscript to maximize acceptance chances at highly selective academic venues.

This guide provides rigorous conventions for constructing self-contained tables and figures for submissions to high-tier finance journals (e.g., JFI). It focuses on structuring exhibits—such as sample construction, event studies, and fixed-effect regressions—to make complex econometric findings accessible and persuasive to banking and intermediation specialists. It guides the visual narrative, ensuring every exhibit is self-sufficient and methodologically transparent.

This skill guides researchers in assessing whether a manuscript's core contribution centers on banking, financial intermediation, or market frictions. It helps determine the research's scope, guiding decisions on whether the paper is theory-led (models of friction) or empirics-led (causal designs on credit data). Use this to maximize publication chances in specialized finance journals.

This workflow router guides authors through the complex lifecycle of submitting a paper to the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI). It coordinates the entire academic writing process, determining the optimal sequence of skills based on whether the contribution is theory-led or empirics-led. It is designed to help authors structure their research, focusing on methodological rigor (e.g., Gate B checks) before drafting the final prose.

A specialized guide for advanced academic research, focusing on moving beyond generic mediation regression. It teaches methods to identify and empirically prove specific financial transmission channels (e.g., credit, risk-taking, balance sheet, information) required by top-tier financial journals. This ensures the mechanism analysis is grounded in concrete, measurable financial variables.

This guide helps authors frame their academic contributions within highly specialized fields like monetary policy, DSGE modeling, and financial intermediation. It teaches how to precisely define the novel element (shock, mechanism, or counterfactual) relative to the closest prior work, ensuring the manuscript is viewed as an advance, not a mere survey. Ideal for preparing submissions to top-tier economics journals.

A comprehensive guide for researchers conducting advanced data analysis and reporting for top marketing journals. It details selecting the appropriate econometric estimator (e.g., ANOVA, DiD, IV, mediation models) based on the study design (experimental, observational, panel). It emphasizes meeting rigorous journal mandates, including exact p-values, standard errors, and effect sizes, and linking statistical findings to practical managerial claims.

This guide details the rigorous statistical reporting standards required for submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP). It covers advanced techniques such as SEM, Multilevel Models (HLM), mediation, and meta-analysis, emphasizing the reporting of effect sizes with confidence intervals, model fit indices, and full analytical transparency.

This skill guides authors to evaluate if their consumer behavior manuscript meets the high theoretical and methodological standards of the Journal of Consumer Research (JCR). It focuses on assessing the theoretical contribution, the necessity of multi-study process evidence (mediation/moderation), and adherence to academic publishing best practices, helping authors refine their framing and anticipate desk-reject risks before submission. Note: This is a guide, not a substitute for official submission guidelines.

This comprehensive skill helps researchers determine if their academic paper, focusing on banking, liquidity, or financial intermediation, is suitable for the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI). It guides authors on necessary theoretical contributions, rigorous empirical identification methods (e.g., DiD/IV/RDD), required paper structure, and adherence to the journal's highly specific submission standards and potential rejection triggers.

This advanced analytical skill focuses on rigorously identifying and testing the specific transmission channels through which external shocks affect an economy. Essential for high-impact international economics research, it moves beyond descriptive mechanism narratives by focusing on testable proxies across trade, investment, finance, and expectation channels. It requires advanced econometrics (e.g., mediation analysis, sample splitting) and careful identification strategy to ensure causal claims are robust.
