REQUEST FOR PAPERS

55th Annual (2020) JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTING

RESEARCH CONFERENCE

Conference on Research by Emerging Accounting Scholars

The 2019 Journal of Accounting Research conference will be held at the University of

Chicago Booth School of Business on May 1–2, 2020. Funding for the conference is

generously provided by the KPMG Foundation, in conjunction with the Accounting

Research Center at Chicago Booth.

The theme of the 2020 conference is “Current Topics in Accounting Research

by Emerging Scholars.” To encourage submissions from newer accounting scholars

across a broad set of research areas, submissions are limited to papers for which

all authors are untenured and have received their Ph.D. (or equivalent terminal

degree) no earlier than in 2011. We invite the submission of theoretical, empirical,

and experimental studies that advance our understanding of any area of accounting

research.

As is traditionally the case with the Journal of Accounting Research conference, pa-

pers selected for inclusion in the conference are published in the annual confer-

ence issue in the spring of the year following the conference (the inclusion of con-

ference papers in the conference issue is, as always, subject to satisfactory resolution

of the editorial review process).

Papers should be submitted electronically through the links provided on the Jour-

nal of Accounting Research web site. The submission fee is $500.00. The deadline for

submission of papers is December 2, 2019.
