JIMF Literature Positioning
Positions international finance manuscripts against frontier literature and sibling journals for Journal of International Money and Finance submissions.
JIMF Literature Positioning helps academic researchers and economists sharply define their paper's marginal contribution against core international monetary and finance literature. Specifically designed for submissions to the Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF), it guides authors in identifying the closest frontier papers, framing distinct contribution mechanisms (such as identification, measurement, or external validity), establishing sibling journal boundaries against JIE, JME, and JFE, and transforming sprawling literature surveys into concise, high-impact positioning statements that satisfy journal editors and peer referees.
