Note about the "Big Four" journals
EconPapers Search - as part of the RePec sites, EconPapers is a great resource. Thanks to Professor Sune Karlsson of the Stockholm School of Economics you can now search all "G" JEL classified articles ("financial economics") added or modified on the site within the last "x" days or weeks. This should allow you to periodically review recent articles added to the EconPapers site. (Note: all posted articles on EconPapers may not have JEL codes attributed to them).
SSRN (Financial Economics Network) – this and the RePec site are the two main "aggregators" of financial research on the internet. The SSRN site is really geared for searching specific topics or authors. The above link should rank recent finance papers in date order, many of which are downloadable (at times this link can be slow). I would recommend checking this link a few times a week. It is the single most useful resource on the web for new releases in finance. (Note if you have trouble downloading the document, you can have it e-mailed to you). SSRN now requires registration but it is free.
Journal of Business (abstracts only) It can be argued that the Journal of Business should replace one of the publications in the "Big Four" - see Arnold, Butler, Crack, Altintig, Impact: What Influences Finance Research?
Univ. of Chicago and CRSP Working Papers (some full text)
Cowles Foundation at Yale Univ. Working Papers (full text)
Federal Reserve Working Papers (full text)
National Bureau of Economic Research (abstracts only)

The RePec Sites
NetEc/WebEc/EconWPA/IDEAS/RePEC/NEP – This collection of sites is the most comprehensive source on the web for academic financial literature. The sites contain one of the most complete list of Working Paper sites (962) and Journal sites (129) available. Also, the EconWPA site does list abstracts from posted articles by month. At present, the best way to keep up to date on papers being posted to the RePec sites is to sign up for the "corporate finance," "econometrics," "finance" and "financial markets" e-mail notifications. The professors participating in RePec and in WebEc-HoPEC are listed.
