Aims & Scope

Cogent Economics & Finance, part of Taylor & Francis / Routledge, is a multidisciplinary open access journal publishing high-quality peer-reviewed research by authors from across the globe. Our inclusive nature ensures we cover the entire scope of economics and finance research – from financial economics to economic philosophy and everything in between, including replication studies – and we make sure this research is visible to everyone, anywhere, any time. Cogent Economics & Finance is headed up by an expert team of Senior Editors who, in keeping with our vision of inclusivity and sharing, evaluate submissions on scholarly merit and research integrity. Manuscripts are never rejected purely on the grounds of perceived importance or impact on the research community; article-level metrics allow the research to be assessed on its own merit.
