  • Special Editorial Issue: Transition to Digital Publishing and Financial Market Resilience
    Vol. 28 No. 1 (2020)

    Transition to Online Publication
    The publication of Volume 28, Issue 1 (2020) marks a significant milestone in the history of the Review of Futures Markets. For many years, the Journal was published and distributed primarily in print format. The unprecedented challenges created by the global COVID-19 pandemic disrupted traditional academic publishing and distribution channels worldwide. Restrictions on physical operations, printing, logistics, and international circulation presented significant obstacles to the continued dissemination of scholarly research through conventional print-based methods.

    In response to these challenges, the Editorial Board initiated the Journal’s transition to an online publication model. This change was undertaken to ensure uninterrupted scholarly communication, timely publication of accepted manuscripts, broader accessibility for readers, and enhanced preservation of the Journal’s academic record.
