Twelve Codex/Claude skills for preparing manuscripts for the Journal of Banking & Finance (JBF), an Elsevier finance journal focused on banking, financial intermediation, capital markets, investments, corporate finance, and financial regulation.
This pack is built for empirical and theory-backed finance papers that need a JBF-specific path from topic fit through Editorial Manager submission and R&R. Core policy facts were refreshed from official ScienceDirect/Elsevier pages on 2026-06-20: Editorial Manager submission, USD 350 unsolicited-manuscript fee, double-anonymized review, 250-word abstract, required data statement / Option C data deposit-or-explain policy, and current Managing Editor Christa Bouwman.
