Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the upcoming Special Issue of Risks that will commemorate its remarkable journey over the past ten years. Risks, an open access publication, was founded in 2013 under the visionary leadership of Prof. Dr. Mogens Steffensen from the University of Copenhagen (Denmark). Since its inception, the journal has been dedicated to advancing the field of insurance and financial risk management, providing a platform for cutting-edge research and knowledge exchange.
Since its first publication in 2013, Risks has demonstrated its commitment to open access principles, offering unrestricted access to high-quality research. The journal's efforts were soon recognized when it was indexed by the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), in 2015, followed by its indexing by Scopus, Elsevier, in 2018, further amplifying its global reach and impact.
We are thrilled to share that Risks achieved a significant milestone in 2022 with the publication of its 1000th paper, a testament to the growing significance of the journal within the research community. The continuous dedication to excellence resulted in Risks receiving its CiteScore (2022) of 3.1 and its inaugural Impact Factor of 2.2 in 2023.
We are calling for contributions to our Special Issue, “Risks Journal: A Decade of Advancing Knowledge and Shaping the Future,” to celebrate this momentous occasion. We invite researchers, practitioners, and scholars worldwide to submit their original research articles, reviews, and case studies that align with the aims and scope of the Risks journal (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/risks/about).
This Special Issue aims to reflect on the diverse and innovative research that has shaped the field of insurance and financial risk management over the past ten years. By participating in this Special Issue, you can showcase your work to a broad audience of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers worldwide.
We look forward to your valuable contributions and joining us in celebrating a decade of the Risks journal.
Prof. Dr. Mogens Steffensen
Guest Editor
