FAQs:
1. I am not an MIEF student/alumni, can I still make a submission?
Yes! As long as the piece meets the submission requirements and is written on a topic related to economics and/or finance, it qualifies as a submission.
 
2. How do I know if my analysis is quantitative enough?
When in doubt, simply submit it and we will put the piece under review.
 
3. The deadline is awfully close, do you need the final draft by April 15th?
The piece needs to have been written in full, but can be a draft. Our editors will work closely with you to make the piece reach the quality expectations InFER requires. 
 
4. Can I take a paper I already wrote and transform it for a submission?
Absolutely. We encourage students to take the work they have already done and put in a little extra effort to make it publishable material.
 
5. What citation format does InFER use?
APA (American Psychological Association) style.
