There is a $30 submission fee to have your paper reviewed. The conference registration fee will be $140 for nonmembers of the SFS (this price includes a one-year membership to the SFS) or $100 for SFS members. These fees will be used to help cover a portion of the SFS's costs.

Conference Dual Submission Option

You may elect dual submission to either The Review of Corporate Finance Studies or The Review of Asset Pricing Studies . If the new journal you select decides not to send your paper out for review, the editor may refer your paper to the other new journal, if appropriate, or to the Review of Financial Studies for possible review. Thus, by selecting the dual submission option, you have implicitly agreed to be reviewed by any of the three SFS journals.
