About the Journal

Financial Research Review (FRR) is an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by SPIDER Publishing. The journal is dedicated to advancing rigorous research and intellectual dialogue in the broad fields of finance, financial economics, and financial policy. FRR aims to provide a dynamic platform for scholars, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to disseminate high-quality theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented research that contributes to a deeper understanding of financial systems and markets. FRR welcomes original research articles, review papers, conceptual studies, policy analyses, and short research notes that explore emerging issues and contemporary debates in finance and related disciplines. The journal particularly encourages studies that address the evolving dynamics of financial markets, financial institutions, investment strategies, corporate finance, banking, financial technology, risk management, behavioral finance, sustainable finance, and international financial systems. 

Financial Research Review publishes semi-annually, specifically in June and December, each year two issues. But the articles come to online immediately upon acceptance and have a DOI for fully citable.

No fees/APC will be charged for articles, and no surcharges will apply for the length of an article, for illustrations and figures (including color figures), and for supplementary data unless noted otherwise.
