This Editorial Note revisits the Pacific-Basin Finance Journal's (PBFJ) evolving leadership in Responsible Science. Building on earlier declarations and journal policy innovations, we review progress in embedding credibility, relevance, and independence into editorial practice, supported by partnerships with the InSPiR2eS Centre for Responsible Science (IC4RS) and alignment with the Open Science movement. We announce a new Virtual Special Issue (vSI), “Responsible and Open Science in Action”, curated across geographic, initiative, and thematic angles. By presenting PBFJ and the vSI through Faff, 2015, Faff, 2024a Pitching Research Framework, this Editorial highlights both achievements to date and a roadmap for future leadership. A key refinement introduced in this Note is a hybrid version of the PBFJ pre-registration pathway, for studies that require a transparently verified empirical precondition before meaningful downstream hypotheses can be articulated. This Editorial therefore formalises a principled accommodation for such cases—preserving the integrity of pre-registration while enabling responsible, PAP-disciplined early feasibility checks.
