For example, the authors provide a list of market anomalies and the references for research done in each area. Following the same procedure for behavioral influences, they describe the resulting biases and give examples. Secondly, a brief look at overnight news-flow, macro economic, and market data.

Overfitting is a common problem where the model performs well on past data but poorly when presented with new events. There are approximately 400 papers submitted to JPM each year and only 44 papers are published. Consequently, JPM is highly selective in the papers that are accepted for publication. Once a paper is submitted, the editor either independently, or in consultation with a member of the editorial advisory board, will determine if the paper is a suitable candidate for further consideration. If it is, depending on the topic it is sent to either one or two reviewers. Authors of papers that are not found to be suitable for further review will be notified within two weeks. Papers that are reviewed will typically take between 12 and 16 weeks for the review process to be completed. The review time is considerably greater than in past years because of the large number of submissions and the demands on qualified referees not only from JPM but the increased number of journals that are searching for qualified referees.
