A serious fraud: Fake JF and RFS conditional acceptances
-
This seems to be a thing at SMU (Singapore). Another finance junior, who I won't name because I may well out myself if I did so, listed a paper as R&R at one of the top finance journals. It wasn't. How did I know? I was a referee, and hadn't written my report yet! Paper got rejected. Wonder if CV got updated...
I got R&R. I resubmitted. The editor decided to get a new referee, that is you. Now, you have not yet written your report. The paper is still R&R. Do you get it?

it's unethical for the editor to add a new referee after resubmission

In her CV, this lady (with PhD in finance from UT Austin in 2011 https://business.smu.edu.sg/faculty/profile/5851/margaret-zhu) argues that she has two conditional acceptances at JF and RFS respectively. Both are single-authored publications.
“Real Effects of Corporate Hedging”, Journal of Finance, conditional accepted;
“Corporate Derivatives Hedging in the Past Two Decades”, Review of Financial Studies, conditional accepted;
However, I am 98% sure that this is a fraud. First, if you Google the titles of both papers, you will find nothing except her CV.
Second, from her SSRN author page https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=665744, you can find that the previous versions of both papers were written around 2011. They must be rejected by top journals at least five years ago since she submitted her tenure package in 2018 or 2019 in a Hong Kong school. Third, one of my friends told me that she faked this at least three years ago when she was on the job market.
My three reflections on this. First, some researchers in finance just lack basic moral values and honesty. Second, don’t trust those single-author conditional acceptances. They are just too good to be believed. Finally, I think a lot of insiders (e.g., her former colleagues and friends) knew this fraud. Why don’t they reveal this? They perhaps just lack of basic moral values and are selfish. They perhaps just don’t care about justice and fairness.LRM kept her papers secret.
OP is triggered because he could not steal ideas of an LRM. -

It is not unethical and it happens quite often.
Moreover, if you are really interested you can write an email to the editor and find the truth. -
This happens frequently, but the added reviewers are informed of the circumstance (and typically get to see the prior correspondence).

True story. Years years ago, I was in my third year review and had nothing. Listed one of my recently submitted papers as R&R (it was not). Passed the review.
Didn’t publish much later but published enough to get tenure at an MRM. Now semi checked out. If I didn’t lie a bit back then, I wouldn’t get the chance to succeed later on. -

I don't think it is a fake. Who would like to lie to his/her own school about publications?This is a proof. OP should apologize to Magarret.
I don't think either what OP posted or this is "proof" that these papers do not exist or that they exist.

If the two solo publications are true, that’s very impressive for someone whose first job is in Asia.

This post is honestly amazing. LRMs hide their papers to avoid theft and then get accused of fraud. How dare an LRM actually get a publication?!
Meanwhile, HRMs regularly get papers "invited" for publication, so that they go from WP to publication quickly.
OP, either post proof that her papers are not under R&R or this post should be taken down.
