The World Federation of Exchanges has launched the Journal of Exchanges, Clearing & Settlement, a new international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal focused on financial market infrastructure. The publication is intended as a dedicated forum for research on exchanges, trading venues, central counterparties, central securities depositories, settlement systems and related infrastructure, with contributions from academics, practitioners and policymakers. The journal covers the full lifecycle of market activity from trading through clearing, settlement and custody. Its stated areas of interest include market structure, risk management, regulation, cross-border links, regional integration, new technologies, post-trade innovation, and the development of financial market infrastructures in emerging and developing markets. Professor Rodney Garratt of the University of California Santa Barbara will serve as founding editor in chief, supported by an editorial board drawn from academia, regulatory bodies and industry. Articles will be freely available on publication, with no subscription fees for readers and no article processing charges for authors, and submissions will be reviewed through a double-blind peer-review process with editorial decisions made independently by the board. The journal is now accepting submissions and will use a continuous online publication model so accepted papers can be published once review and production are complete.
