Requirements for papers
The submitted paper should be original and not published before. The paper should focus on one aspect and thoroughly analyze it instead of exploring the whole banking sector or monetary policy issues in general.
In particular, papers that create new knowledge through data analysis will take precedence over those presenting abstract theoretical concepts. Papers that summarize existing knowledge on a specific topic are also welcome as long as such a summary leads to clear policy advice relevant to the banking sector and monetary policy in Ukraine.
When writing a paper, please follow the requirements applicable to articles for the Visnyk of the NBU. Useful tips on writing research are available here.
