CALL FOR PAPERS: Virtual Conference Deadline Extended Due July 1, 2020 The Academy of Financial Services 34th Annual Meeting September 29-30, 2020 Virtual Conference The Academy of Financial Services will hold its annual conference in conjunction with the FPA BE annual conference. In light of recent events, we have restructured pricing for this year’s virtual annual meeting: $199 for academics and practitioners and $99 for students. The AFS Conference will feature speakers, symposia, several special sessions, posters, and a reception. Among them, we will introduce a new panel session for PhD students, highlighting how to best navigate the job market and a panel for women in financial services. With the generous support of our sponsors, the Academy has awarded several best paper awards during past meetings and we anticipate continuing Best Paper awards in 2020. We will continue with our Emerging Scholar Award to a current graduate student for promising research work on a paper or poster presented at the conference. In addi�on, in 2020, we will ini�ate a new, Program Directors track. The goal is to allow program directors to present and discuss program issues and best practices in a panel environment, such as “Working with Your University’s Foundation”, “Capstone Course Cases: What’s the Right Content?”, “Understanding Career Paths and Student Fit” and “Developing a Passionate Program in a Box: Scholarships, Competitions, Student organizations”. We welcome other panel topics deemed beneficial to program directors.

The Editor does not accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers submitted. Upon acceptance of an article, author(s) transfer copyright of the article to the Academy of Financial Services. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination. (3) Submission of papers: Authors should submit their papers electronically as an e-mail attachment to the Editor at smichels@stetson.edu. Please send the paper in Word format. Do not sent PDFs. Ensure that the letter ‘l’ and digit ‘1’, and also the letter ‘O’ and digit ‘0’ are used properly, and format your article (tabs, indents, etc.) consistently. Do not allow your word processor to introduce word breaks and do not use a justified layout. Please adhere strictly to the general instructions below on style, arrangement and, in particular, the reference style of the journal. (4) Manuscripts should be double spaced, with one-inch margins, and printed on one side of the paper only. All pages should be numbered consecutively, starting with the title page. Titles and subtitles should be short. References, tables, and legends for the figures should be printed on separate pages. (5) The first page of the manuscript, the Title Page, must contain the following information: (i) the title; (ii) the name(s), title, institutional affiliation(s), address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail addresses of all the author(s) with a clear indication of which is the corresponding author; (iii) at least one classification code according to the Classification System for Journal Articles as used by the Journal of Economic Literature, which can be found at http://www.aeaweb.org/journal/elclasjn.html; in addition, up to five key words should be supplied. (6) Information on grants received can be given in a footnote on the Title page. (7) The abstract, consisting of no more than 100 words, should appear alone on page 2, titled, Abstract. (8) Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and should only contain material that is not essential to the understanding of the article. As a rule of thumb, have one or less footnote, on average, per two pages of text. (9) Displayed formulae should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript as (1), (2), etc. against the right-hand margin of the page. In cases where the derivation of formulae has been abbreviated, it is of great help to the referees if the full derivation can be presented on a separate sheet (not to be published). (10) The Financial Services Review journal (FSR) follows the APA Publication Manual, 6th Edition, style. However, consistent with the current trend followed by other publications in the area of finance, the journal has a very strong preference for articles that are written in the present tense throughout. References to publications should be as follows: “Smith (1992) reports that” or “This problem has been studied previously (Ho, Milevsky, & Robinson, 1999).” The author should make sure that there is a strict one-to-one correspondence between the names and years in the text and those on the reference list. The list of references should appear at the end of the main text (after any appendices, but before tables and legends for figures). It should be double spaced and listed in alphabetical order by author’s name. References should appear as follows: Books: Hawawini, G. & Swary, I. (1990). Mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. banking industry: Evidence from the capital markets. Amsterdam: North Holland. Chapter in a book: Brunner, K. & Meltzer, A. H. (1990). Money supply. In: B. M. Friedman & F. H. Hahn (Eds.), Handbook of monetary economics (Vol. 1, pp. 357-396). Amsterdam: North Holland. Periodicals: Ang, J. S. & Fatemi, A. M. (1997). Personal bankruptcy costs: their relevance and some estimates. Financial Services Review, 6, 77-96. Note that journal titles should not be abbreviated. (11) Illustrations will be reproduced photographically from originals supplied by the author; they will not be redrawn by the pub- lisher. Please provide all illustrations in quadruplicate (one high-contrast original and three photocopies). Care should be taken that lettering and symbols are of a comparable size. The illustrations should not be inserted in the text, and should be marked on the back with figure number, title of paper, and author’s name. All graphs and diagrams should be referred to as figures, and should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals. Illustration for papers submitted as electronic manu- scripts should be in traditional form. The journal is not printed in color, so all graphs and illustrations should be in black and white. (12) Tables should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals and printed on separate sheets. Any manuscript which does not conform to the above instructions will be returned for the necessary revision before publication. Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. Proofs should be corrected carefully; the responsibility for detecting errors lies with the author. Corrections should be restricted to instances in which the proof is at variance with the manuscript. Extensive alterations will be charged. Reprints of your article are available at cost if they are ordered when the proof is returned.
