FinanzArchiv Guidelines for Authors

Submitted manuscripts, which may qualify for publication, are peer reviewed by two referees. To support speedy decisions, the journal invites authors of a submission to include the editor’s letter and the referee reports from a previous submission of this paper at other international journals. While FinanzArchiv reserves the right to use its own referees, in many instances the editors expect to be able to make an expedient decision based on the pre-existing reports and decision letters plus their own reading of the paper. There is no submission fee.

Submission of a paper will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. The editors do not accept responsibility for damage or loss of  papers submitted. All articles are refereed by specialists.

Exclusive copyright to articles is granted to Mohr Siebeck when they are accepted for publication in our journals and edited volumes. Mohr Siebeck has the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute the contribution as well as to make it publicly accessible online. As author you retain the right to distribute the e-offprint of your contribution for private use (e.g. via e-mail), but not to make it accessible to the public - e.g. at any website, intranet or repository.

For articles in journals, exclusivity falls away one year following publication, for chapters in edited volumes after two years. Correspondingly, you may then (a) reproduce and distribute a print version of your contribution; (b) grant another publisher non-exclusive permission to reprint an article following its publication with us; (c) make the print identical version accessible online for non-commercial purposes only. In all cases, full reference is to be made to the original Mohr Siebeck publication and, for journal contributions where applicable, mention made of the article's DOI (Digital Object Identifier).

New: Online First
In order to make your contribution visible and readable as soon as possible, from 2015 on after peer review all accepted articles will be published in an Online First version. These articles are searchable and citable by their DOI. Once the article is published in an issue of the journal, the Online First version will be removed.

Fiscal Policy in Action
When submitting, Authors of papers with specific and accessible analyses of real world policies,  or of papers that apply theory to specific situations may indicate that they  wish to have their work considered for publication in the "Fiscal Policy in Action" section of FinanzArchiv/Public Finance Analysis. Accepted papers in this section are  published along with other papers, but the publication under this headline  emphasizes a paper's special merit of analyzing or reviewing important recent developments.

Book reviews
