《金融中介雜志》新的編輯委員會(huì)試圖通過實(shí)施一項(xiàng)積極的桌面拒絕政策來簡(jiǎn)化編輯過程。我們預(yù)計(jì)，在沒有詳細(xì)審查程序的情況下，將拒絕絕大部分論文。通過這種方式，發(fā)表評(píng)論的論文最終有很大的機(jī)會(huì)被發(fā)表。雖然這項(xiàng)政策旨在將審查者的負(fù)擔(dān)降到最低，但提交者應(yīng)該期望他們的論文在編輯過程中得到更徹底的處理，前提是要得到推薦。被拒絕的書桌文章將不會(huì)退還提交費(fèi)用。減少噪音和提高評(píng)審過程的透明度是新編輯政策的首要目標(biāo)。在這種情況下，JFI正在簡(jiǎn)化其編委會(huì)結(jié)構(gòu)，擴(kuò)大副編委會(huì)。提交者現(xiàn)在可能希望他們的論文幾乎完全由編輯委員會(huì)成員或與委員會(huì)成員同等專業(yè)的研究人員審查。同時(shí)，提交過程現(xiàn)在是單盲的，這意味著作者身份不會(huì)被隱藏。提交者可以選擇負(fù)責(zé)提交的管理編輯。盡管如此，這些請(qǐng)求將在限制范圍內(nèi)得到滿足。

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.
