Impact factor: 4.8

The Pacific-Basin Finance Journal (PBFJ) aims to provide a specialized forum for the publication of reliable academic research on capital markets within the Asia-Pacific region (but excluding papers that only use US data). Primary emphasis is placed on the highest quality empirical investigations that focus on research questions in the broad realm of financial economics, addressing mainstream contemporary topics relevant to e.g., investments, asset pricing, corporate finance, financial decision-making.Furt... we generally seek to encourage researchers to engage in topics that produce more "useful" research i.e., to produce research that goes meaningfully beyond narrow academic impact. Most notably, such useful research addresses the challenge of solving important and enduring issues of critical relevance to real-world financial problems and/or practical impediments inhibiting optimal decision-making by key stakeholders operating in financial markets.Moreover, PBFJ strongly welcomes submissions that embrace the principles of "responsible science", reflected in three foundational pillars:Credible/rel... research;Useful/rele... research; andIndependent/unbia... researchTo this end, while we continue to invite the submission of the traditional form of original and completed full-study research manuscripts, we also offer an alternative "pre-registration" pathway to publication as detailed in the PBFJ Editorial Note (accessible using the link below):https://www.s... by this form of innovative publication, the editors of PBFJ will exercise best efforts to publish well-executed bold and exciting research, irrespective of whether or not it produces statistically significant and/or positive findings. In other words, the editors of PBFJ believe that it is critical we take a conscious stand against publication bias in order to responsibly service our scientific community.

Personality and Individual Differences

ISSN: 0191-8869
5 Year impact factor: 3.6
Impact factor: 3.5

The Official Journal of the International Society for the Study of Individual Differences (ISSID)Personality and Individual Differences is primarily devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, correlational, theoretical, expository/review) which enhance our understanding of the structure of personality and other forms of individual differences, the processes which cause these individual differences to emerge, and their practical applications. Accessible methodological contributions are also welcome. The Editors invite papers that focus on the genetic, biological, and environmental foundations of individual differences, and possible interaction effects. While we recognize the importance of questionnaires for the measurement of individual differences, we encourage their link to experimental and behavioural measures. Ultimately the editors of PAID view human beings as bio-social organisms and that work on individual differences can be most fruitfully pursued by attending to both these aspects of our nature.We consider studies involving cross-sectional mediation/moderation analyses of self-reported data only when these directly test a theory.

Journal of Empirical Research on Culture, the Media and the ArtsPoetics is an interdisciplinary journal of theoretical and empirical research on culture, the media and the arts. Particularly welcome are papers that make an original contribution to the major disciplines - sociology, psychology, media and communication studies, and economics - within which promising lines of research on culture, media and the arts have been developed.Poetics would be pleased to consider, for example, the following types of papers:• Sociological research on participation in the arts; media use and consumption; the conditions under which makers of cultural products operate; the functioning of institutions that make, distribute and/or judge cultural products, arts and media policy; etc.• Psychological research on the cognitive processing of cultural products such as literary texts, films, theatrical performances, visual artworks; etc.• Media and communications research on the globalization of media production and consumption; the role and performance of journalism; the development of media and creative industries; the social uses of media; etc.• Economic research on the funding, costs and benefits of commercial and non-profit organizations in the fields of art and culture; choice behavior of audiences analysed from the viewpoint of the theory of lifestyles; the impact of economic institutions on the production or consumption of cultural goods; etc.The production and consumption of media, art and culture are highly complex and interrelated phenomena. Our insight into these broad domains will be considerably enhanced by studies focusing on the interrelationships of the many factors that shape behavior towards art, culture and the media.Poetics publishes not only advanced research reports but also overview articles. Occasional special issues, guest-edited by specialists, present the state of the art and/or discuss new developments in a particular field.Poetics does not publish papers that analyze arts or literature in a more hermeneutics-oriente... tradition. Thus, for papers focusing on, for example, close reading of poetry or novels, we refer to other journals.If you are in any doubt about the appropriateness of your paper for Poetics, please take a moment to review previous volumes of the journal. The contents of these issues will give you a good sense of the areas of research which are of interest to us. The complete back issues of the journal can be found at http://www.sciencedi...
