- A finance paper could go to JBF, JFI, JCF, JFQA, RFS, or a field journal and you need a fit call
JBF is not a generic "any finance paper" outlet. It rewards papers that make a clear contribution to banking, financial intermediation, institutions, markets, investments, corporate finance, or regulation. A good JBF topic usually has:
| Paper profile | Better-first venue | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Intermediation theory or structural banking model with a tight mechanism | Journal of Financial Intermediation | narrower, mechanism-first intermediation outlet |
| Systemic risk / macroprudential policy evaluation | Journal of Financial Stability | stability-policy core audience |
| Monetary transmission through banks, macro-banking | JMCB | money-macro referee pool |
| Corporate finance where banks are peripheral | Journal of Corporate Finance | firm-side audience |
| Broad empirical banking/markets/regulation with solid identification and a policy angle | JBF | wide empirical scope, bank-focused readership |
These are stylized scope contrasts; check each journal's current aims-and-scope before final routing.

npx claudepluginhub brycewang-stanford/awesome-journal-skills --plugin jbf-skillsGuides targeting Journal of Banking and Finance (JBF): evaluates fit, framing, method/evidence bar, house style, and desk-reject risks for applied banking/finance manuscripts.
Routes Journal of Banking & Finance manuscripts to the appropriate sub-skill across the publication lifecycle: topic fit, literature positioning, identification strategy, data analysis, exhibits, submission, review, and rebuttal.
Use when judging whether a research question is general-interest and economically significant enough for The Journal of Finance (JF), and when sharpening the framing. Tests fit and contribution; it does not design the empirics.
