International Finance accepted for coverage in the Social Science Citation Index!
We are delighted to announce that International Finance has been accepted into the ISI Social Science Citation Index beginning with Volume 11 (2008). ISI will review citations over the next two years and produce the first Impact Factor for International Finance for 2010 (published June 2011) based on 2008 and 2009 citations.

Early View - Articles online in advance of print...
Articles accepted for publication can be accessed online in advance of their appearance in a print issue through Wiley-Blackwell's Early View service. These articles are fully peer reviewed, edited and complete - they only lack page numbers and volume/issue details - and are considered fully published from the date they first appear online. This date is shown with the article in the online table of contents. The articles are available as full text HTML or PDF and can be cited as references by using their Digital Object Identifier (DOI) numbers. For more information on DOIs, please see http://www.doi.org/faq.html

To view all the articles currently available online ahead of print, click here. On print publication, the article instead will appear in the relevant online issue, complete with page numbers and volume/issue details. No other changes will be made.

The implementation of Early View for International Finance represents our commitment to make manuscripts available for viewing by the academic community as quickly as possible, thereby reducing time to publication considerably without sacrificing quality or completeness.

Olivier Blanchard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Barry Eichengreen, University of California, Berkeley

"International Finance has established itself as the premier journal providing policy-related papers on international monetary issues . . . [it] has become well-respected, widely read, and influential."
Richard Brealey, London Business School

"The track record now established by International Finance, during the first seven years of the journal's existence, is highly impressive . . . Many thought that serious, first-rate research economists from the academic world would decline to play in such a game. They were wrong. The list of contributors speaks for itself."
Benjamin Friedman, Harvard University

"Until the launch of International Finance, there was no logical outlet for research on international financial markets with a policy angle . . . The journal fulfils this need with a rigorous yet accessible presentation."
Andrew Karolyi, Ohio State University

"International Finance occupies a special, but important, niche in the universe of international macro publications . . . During my time in the US government, I made certain I knew what articles were in IF."

"Since its creation, International Finance has effectively filled the gap between scholarly research and practical policy issues. It combines rigor and relevance and has become an essential tool for researchers, policymakers and financial market participants working on international monetary and financial issues."
Charles Wyplosz, Graduate Institute of International Economics, Geneva

"International Finance provides economic analysis of high standards, frequently by very top academic economists, but with a strong emphasis on policy."
Frederic Mishkin, Columbia University Graduate School of Business

"International Finance is more exciting, more readable, and more influential than any other non-associated based journal in macroeconomics and finance. It set out to respond to the undersupply of rigorously argued policy relevant refereed articles in those areas, grabbed hold of that niche, and if anything increased demand for its product."
Adam Posen, Institute for International Economics

"International Finance is both authoritative in the monetary and financial fields that it covers and highly readable . . . I regard International Finance as a 'must read' in my work."
Charles Goodhardt, London School of Economics
