REQUEST FOR REGISTERED REPORTS

JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTING RESEARCH

Third Registered Reports Conference

October 24- October 25, 2024

Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) seeks to encourage work in accounting de-

veloped through the Registration-based Editorial Process (REP) process. We will

accept registered report proposals every 3 years. The proposal process for the 2024

conference will be similar to the 2021 REP format. Specif‌ically, we will follow a three-

stage process with the goal of an early stage conference held to provide feedback

to authors between stages 1 and 2. JAR will hold a virtual conference devoted to

registered report proposals on October 24 – October 25, 2024.

The timeline for the registered report proposals is as follows:

Stage 1 (August 1, 2024): Submission of initial REP proposal for consideration for

presentation at the conference.

Conference (October 24 – October 25, 2024): Presentation of selected REP propos-

als to conference audience for feedback.

Stage 2 (date varies): Submission of REP proposals selected at conference to the

Journal for review and consideration as a REP.The result of this process will be

either an “In principle acceptance” or rejection as a REP.Rejected REPs may still

be submitted to the journal as a regular manuscript at a later point.

Stage 3: Execution of project and submission of the f‌inal REP to Journal for evalu-

ation.The result of this process will be either publication or rejection for lack of

conformity with the REP process.

In Stage 1, authors submit a proposal that describes the hypotheses, the data they

will gather, and (in considerable detail) the research design and analyses they

will use to interpret their results. REGISTERED REPORTS SUBMISSION PROCE-

DURE: Registered reports should be submitted to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.

com/joar. The submission fee is $750, $500, or $50 (based on the country the sub-

mitting authors reside in).. The deadline for Stage 1 submissions is August 1, 2024.

At Stage 1, we will set a high bar for contribution and novelty.We encourage

projects that entail the testing of clearly specif‌ied (and theoretically founded) hy-

potheses as well as projects that include the collection or generation of new data.In

addition to proposals using empirical archival methods and laboratory experiments,

both of which have been included in JAR’s prior Registered Reports Conferences,
