Journal of Credit Risk

Tom Paine
Managing Editor, Risk Journals

On behalf of the board and the journals team, I am delighted to announce that Professor Fan Yu is taking over as one of the two editors-in-chief of The Journal of Credit Risk, working closely with Linda Allen, his co-editor. As a former associate editor of The Journal of Credit Risk, Fan knows the journal well, and he brings a wealth of experience editorially, having published with, and served on the boards of, several other journals. I am pleased to say that he has already put in a great deal of work over the past few months to ensure a smooth transition for both authors and associate editors, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for this.

Fan steps into the shoes of Jens Hilscher, who served as editor-in-chief with great distinction. Jens was instrumental in guiding the journal’s transition into areas such as fintech, machine learning and cryptocurrency markets, with several well-regarded special issues. He has generously agreed to remain on the editorial board as an associate editor to assist Fan in his transition to the role of editor-in-chief.

I look forward to seeing the journal go from strength to strength under the new leadership.
