The Journal of Financial Crime and the Journal of Money Laundering Control

The Journal of Financial Crime was established 31 years ago by Professor Barry Rider and Professor William Tupman and the Journal of Money Laundering Control, by Professor Rider almost 30 years ago. Both journals were for a number of years published by Henry Stewart and then more recently by Emerald. Their editorial teams were led by Professor Rider. The Cambridge International Symposium has always supported these publications and over the years they have become highly regarded and contributed a great deal to research and the discussion of issues relating to economic crime. However, there was concern on the part of many on the Editorial Advisory Boards that the support provided by Emerald was inadequate and its requirements unsustainable.

The Organising Committee of the Symposium after much deliberation and the decision of the publishers to replace the editorial team, resolved to completely disassociate the symposium from Emerald and the two journals. The Organising Committee regrets this situation and in particular the actions of Emerald. Of course, the Symposium retains a close working relationship with other scholarly journals and will be establishing a platform for publication of material in particular related to the symposium.

For the avoidance of doubt neither the Journal of Financial Crime or The Journal of Money Laundering Control are published, going forward, under the auspices, with the support or endorsement of the Symposium or CIDOEC. It is our understanding that many individuals who supported over many years the journals as member of the Advisory Editorial Boards and as referees have resigned and disassociated themselves from the publisher.
