Publication Platform

Evidence deserves a clear and credible platform.

Investmetrics uses its publication platform to communicate analytical work that contributes to research, markets, policy, development practice, public affairs and informed decision-making.

Investmetrics Research Reports are an internal publication stream. They draw on secondary-data analysis, market insights, internal research and other evidence products developed by the Investmetrics team, including analytical tables, charts and concise research intelligence based on currently available information.

External scholarly submissions are accepted through IJIRI. Authors preparing a journal manuscript can download the official Author Guidelines and Manuscript Template below before submission.
