Reviewers for the Journal of Finance Case Research are asked to provide constructive commentary on case and teaching note submissions. The Review process is designed respectfully and thoughtfully provide guidance concerning content, consistency, appropriateness, conciseness and correctness of the case and teaching note, with the ultimate goal of publishing the best submissions as peer-reviewed quality finance cases.

Case authors are asked to reciprocate by reviewing the work of others. Under normal and cooperative circumstances, this results in reviews being returned to authors in a timely manner, ideally within a few months. A case may go through several revisions prior to publication. The managing editor takes steps to use the same reviewers at each review level. Authors should carefully prepare manuscripts according to format and other requirements, to avoid having to re-work the manuscript later in the review process. Reviewers are asked not to provide what is essentially proofreading and correction services (these services are available, for a fee, by contacting the IFCR). Reviewers are provided a suggested review format, but are given substantial freedom to communicate necessary changes to authors.

Review of the work of others in the discipline is sometimes rewarded by universities with service credit. The IFCR will be happy to document service provided by reviewers. At present there is no remuneration for our reviewers.
