COVID-19 Update

We would like to reassure our journal community that we are committed to ensuring that the Journal of Public Finance and Public Choice continues to review and publish important research despite the challenges of COVID-19. We will still endeavour to handle papers in accordance with our editorial review process, but are of course aware that for many colleagues (ourselves included) it may at times be difficult to adhere to deadlines due to additional caring responsibilities or ill health.

If this is the case for you as a journal reviewer or author, please do let us know so that we can amend deadlines accordingly and be as supportive as possible during this challenging time.

Fast-tracking COVID-19 research

If you are submitting a research article about the social impact of COVID-19, please email the Editor and copy in bup-journals@bristol.ac.uk. We will endeavour to fast-track it through our usual peer review process by asking for quicker turnaround times from editors, reviewers and authors wherever possible.
