Key Research Areas:
ERBF is an international journal that aims to publish articles in all areas of business and finance. All papers are subjected to a blind peer-review process. Articles can be theoretical, empirical or policy oriented. There is no submission or publication fee.
Articles submitted to ERBF can be theoretical, empirical or policy oriented. Manuscripts must be written in good English and should be electronically submitted via the submission form above or by email to nigar.taspinar@emu.edu.tr. Manuscripts should be submitted as a single Word file (.doc or .docx) including all materials. There is no submission fee, publication fee or additional costs for accepted articles. Authors are personally responsible for obtaining permission to reprint previously published material from other sources.
Manuscripts must be unpublished and prepared according to the following specifications:
The first page of the manuscript must contain the full title, the affiliation and full address of all authors, ORCID identifiers (if available), and the corresponding author's email address. The second page must contain the abstract (250 words or less), keywords, and JEL codes. This page should not include author names to facilitate blind review.
Equations should be numbered sequentially in parentheses aligned to the right margin, e.g. (1), (2), (3). Inline mathematical expressions should be kept concise. Multi-line equations should be aligned at the equality sign. All variables must be defined in the text upon first use.
Tables and figures should be numbered sequentially (Table 1, Table 2; Figure 1, Figure 2) and referenced in the text. Tables should use a clean three-line format (top rule, mid rule, bottom rule) without vertical lines. Table captions appear above the table. Significance levels should be indicated with asterisks and defined in a footnote below the table (e.g. *** p<0.01, ** p<0.05, * p<0.10). Figure captions appear below the figure. All tables and figures should be placed after the main body of the text or uploaded as separate files.
Any word or words to be abbreviated should be written in full when first mentioned, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Use the abbreviated form consistently thereafter.
The Harvard (author-year) system should be used for in-text citations. When cited in the text, use the following formats: Granger (1969) for textual citations, (Johansen and Juselius, 1990) for parenthetical citations, or Arestis et al. (2001) for three or more authors. Multiple citations within the same parentheses should be separated by semicolons. References are listed alphabetically after the text. Journal and book titles should be written out in full and italicized. Include DOI where available. Examples:
Every in-text citation must have a corresponding entry in the reference list, and every reference list entry must be cited in the text. Author name spellings and years must match between citations and references.
Footnotes should be numbered consecutively in the text. Use footnotes sparingly and only for substantive comments, not for bibliographic references.
Acknowledgments, including funding sources and conflict of interest disclosures, should appear at the end of the text before the reference list.
Submission of a paper to ERBF implies that it presents original unpublished work, not under consideration for publication elsewhere. A copyright assignment form will be sent to the authors of accepted papers. It is a condition of publication that authors assign copyright or license the publication rights in their articles, including abstracts, to the Eurasian Review of Business and Finance. This enables full copyright protection and dissemination of the article to the widest possible readership. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources.
ERBF is indexed and abstracted in the following databases and directories.
The Eurasian Review of Business and Finance (ERBF) was established in 2017 as a platform for rigorous, peer-reviewed research in business and finance. Over its first four volumes, the journal published original contributions spanning banking, corporate governance, financial development, environmental economics, and EU policy — drawing authors from Turkey, North Cyprus, Nigeria, Albania, the UAE, Japan, and beyond.
Following the publication of Volume 4 in 2022, ERBF entered a period of editorial restructuring. During this time, the editorial team undertook a comprehensive review of the journal's scope, submission processes, formatting standards, and indexing strategy to align ERBF with current best practices in academic publishing.
We are pleased to announce that ERBF resumes publication with Volume 5, Issue 1 (2026), carrying forward its founding mission while incorporating updated author guidelines, a modernized review management system, and a renewed commitment to publishing high-quality research in all areas of business and finance.
We invite researchers from all regions to submit their original work. The journal remains open-access with no submission or publication fees.
