# Journal of Finance (journal-of-finance) ## Journal positioning The Journal of Finance is the official journal of the American Finance Association and, with JFE and RFS, one of the finance "top-3." It publishes the most consequential work across asset pricing, corporate finance, banking/intermediation, and household finance, judged on whether the question and result move the field. The readership is the whole finance profession plus financial economists in economics departments, so a paper must matter beyond its niche. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the AFA / Wiley site and the editorial submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names JF (or the finance top-3) as the target venue. - A finance paper has a clean design or a genuinely new asset-pricing/corporate-finance insight and the author is choosing among JF / JFE / RFS. - An applied paper using financial data needs re-framing into a finance contribution rather than an economics or accounting one. - The author needs JF's desk-reject risks and a credible top-3

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill journal-of-finance --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
