We are pleased to announce 4 new Risk journals: Journal of Network Theory in Finance, Journal of Risk Model Validation, Journal of Investment Strategies, and Journal of Financial Market Infrastructures have joined our FEN Partners in Publishing Journals within the Financial Economics Network (FEN).

JOURNAL OF NETWORK THEORY IN FINANCE
View Papers: https://www.ssrn.com/link/Journal-Network-Theory-in-Finance.html
Financial institutions and markets are highly interconnected, but only recently has literature begun to emerge that maps these interconnections and assesses their impact on financial risks and returns. The Journal of Network Theory in Finance is an interdisciplinary journal publishing academically rigorous and practitioner-focused research on the application of network theory in finance and related fields. The journal brings together research carried out in disparate areas within academia and other research institutions by policymakers and industry practitioners.

JOURNAL OF RISK MODEL VALIDATION
View Papers: https://www.ssrn.com/link/Journal-Risk-Model-Validation.html
As monetary institutions rely greatly on economic and financial models for a wide array of applications, model validation has become progressively inventive within the field of risk. The Journal of Risk Model Validation focuses on the implementation and validation of risk models, and aims to provide a greater understanding of key issues including the empirical evaluation of existing models, pitfalls in model validation and the development of new methods. We also publish papers on back-testing. Our main field of application is in credit risk modelling but we are happy to consider any issues of risk model validation for any financial asset class.

JOURNAL OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
View Papers: https://www.ssrn.com/link/Journal-Investment-Strategies.html
The Journal of Investment Strategies is dedicated to the rigorous treatment of modern investment strategies; going well beyond the "classical" approaches in both its subject instruments and methodologies. In providing a balanced representation of academic, buy-side and sell-side research, the Journal promotes the cross-pollination of ideas amongst researchers and practitioners, achieving a unique nexus of academia and industry on one hand, and theoretical and applied models on the other. The Journal contains in-depth research papers as well as discussion articles on technical and market subjects, and aims to equip the global investment community with practical and cutting-edge research in order to understand and implement modern investment strategies.

JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL MARKET INFRASTRUCTURES
View Papers: https://www.ssrn.com/link/J-Financial-Market-Infrastructures.html
The Journal of Financial Market Infrastructures is the first journal to focus on this exciting and dynamic sector, and aims to bring together a community of contributors from the constituent sectors to analyse financial market infrastructures to further the development of this emerging field. The journal provides a balanced representation of academic and practitioner-focused papers which are dedicated to analysing operational and regulatory effectiveness and efficiency of payment, clearing, settlement, trade repository systems; and the risks they manage, transmit and create.
