3. Author Declaration Form
Upon submission of a manuscript to the Journal of Monetary and Financial Economics, all contributing authors must complete and submit an Author Declaration Form to confirm that the submitted manuscript is an original and authentic work that has not previously been published in any journal, either in the same or a similar form or in another language, and is not currently under consideration for publication by another journal.
All individuals listed as authors must be aware of the manuscript's contents and must have approved its submission to this journal by the corresponding author. Furthermore, the corresponding author is responsible for specifying the roles and contributions of each author in preparing the manuscript.
4. Conflict of Interest Form
A conflict of interest refers to a set of circumstances in which professional judgment concerning a primary interest, such as the integrity of research, may be influenced by secondary interests, such as financial gain.
Disclosure of conflicts of interest is a declaration by the authors indicating that they have not received any financial compensation for the research or, if they have received financial support, that they have disclosed it by identifying the source of funding.
The purpose of the Conflict of Interest Form is to provide readers with information about the authors' interests that may influence how the manuscript is received and evaluated.
Authors must submit the Conflict of Interest Form at the time of manuscript submission and assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided in the manuscript. This form must be signed by all authors and must state that the necessary permissions have been obtained for all materials included in the manuscript, such as figures, tables, and other content, or that no permission is required for the publication of the authors' own work.

The journal considers three types of manuscripts: original research articles, short communications, and review articles. Manuscripts may be submitted in either Persian or English.
The full text of the manuscript must be prepared using MS Word (*.doc or *.docx) for use during the peer review process. The manuscript file must be submitted in a single-column format. All figures, tables, and supplementary data must be incorporated into the main text of the manuscript.
Each manuscript must include the following sections: Title, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments, and References.
For manuscripts written in Persian, an extended English abstract is mandatory. Further details are available in this section.
Authors are strongly advised to carefully proofread their manuscripts for potential spelling and grammatical errors. Authors whose native language is not English must ensure that the English sections of their manuscripts have been reviewed by a language specialist before submission and that the manuscript is written in clear, fluent, and comprehensible English.
The importance of the abstract is evident, as it is the section that initially provides readers with an overall understanding of the manuscript. The abstract must be written as a single paragraph and must not exceed 250 words. It should adequately reflect the content of the manuscript, with particular emphasis on the methods, results, and significance and practical implications of the findings.
Authors must provide three to five keywords suitable for indexing purposes. Keywords must not be taken from the words used in the manuscript title and must not include abbreviations. They should be arranged in alphabetical order and separated by commas.
Depending on the type of information presented and the motivation and objectives of the study, the Introduction should consist of two to three paragraphs. An adequate review of the relevant research background is essential in this section.
The rationale and main objectives of the manuscript, as well as the date and location of the research, must be clearly stated in this section.
An overall description of the research design must be presented clearly and explicitly. Previously published methods should be cited, and the methods used in the manuscript must be described in detail.
The types of analyses performed should also be specified in this section. This section should include appropriate subsections for each category, covering the methods employed, the location where the research was conducted, the analyses performed, and other relevant details.
This section must be written in the past tense and passive voice. Research findings must not be presented in this section.
The Results and Discussion section should present the findings of the study and their interpretation. Data should be presented as concisely as possible, using figures or tables where necessary. However, excessively large tables should be avoided.
The Discussion should provide an interpretation of the results, with appropriate references to the work of other researchers.
The Results and Discussion section should address the following points:
This section should be concise while providing a clear and comprehensive account of the findings, without unnecessary elaboration.
Figures and tables should be used to organize and present all data. Tables are intended to present actual data, whereas figures are used to illustrate patterns or relationships among variables.
Readers should be able to understand the content of figures and tables without referring to the main text.
The same data should not be presented simultaneously in both figure and table formats.
It is often informative to discuss potential sources of error or limitations.
Authors should demonstrate how their findings are consistent with or differ from previously published studies.
The theoretical and practical implications of the findings should be discussed.
At the end of this section, relevant studies addressing the subject should be discussed, along with an explanation of how the present study contributes to the broader field of research.
Tables and charts must not be submitted as image files. Tables must be prepared using Microsoft Word.
Horizontal and vertical lines should not be used in tables. Tables must be incorporated into the main text, have a clear and logical structure, and be numbered consecutively in the order in which they appear in the manuscript (Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, etc.).
Sufficient information must be provided in the table footnotes so that the content of each table can be understood without referring to the main text. Each table must have a title that clearly describes its content.
Any material previously published must be properly attributed by citing the original source at the end of the table title.
Table footnote indicators should be designated using lowercase letters (or asterisks (*) for significance levels and other statistical information), with additional explanations provided below the table.
Images and figures must be of high quality. All figures must be embedded in the main text of the manuscript rather than submitted as separate files.
Authors must ensure that all figures have sufficient resolution, include appropriate captions, and are prepared in a size suitable for publication in the journal.
The following requirements must be observed when preparing figures:
Each figure must have a caption that accurately describes what is illustrated. Figure captions must be typed below the figure, not incorporated into the figure itself.
The English figure caption must begin with the appropriate introductory phrase.
No punctuation mark should be used at the end of the figure caption.
All numbers and symbols used in the figure must be explained in the figure caption.
The Conclusion section should begin with a brief introduction to the study, followed by a concise summary of the findings and the main points discussed.
This section should also highlight the originality and unique contributions of the research, acknowledge its limitations, and provide recommendations for future research.
Finally, authors should clearly identify the key highlights of the study without referring readers back to the main text.
Acknowledgment of individuals, financial support, and research projects, together with their official identification numbers, is an essential part of the manuscript.
The names of funding organizations must be stated in full and in accordance with the official naming conventions of the respective organizations. The institutional affiliation of the organization supporting the research (if applicable) must also be specified in this section.
All abbreviations and symbols used in the manuscript must be defined at their first occurrence in the text. The use of abbreviations in the abstract should be avoided.
A list of abbreviations and symbols must be provided in alphabetical order.
All references, including both in-text citations and the reference list, must follow the APA referencing style.
The reference list must be written in English and arranged first alphabetically and then chronologically.
Authors are also encouraged to cite references published within the past ten years rather than relying on older sources.
Authors must ensure that every source cited in the text is included in the reference list and vice versa.
Authors are strongly encouraged to use reference management software, such as EndNote, for inserting citations and preparing the reference list.
