STANDING CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR

JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTING RESEARCH

Survey Paper Proposals Relevant to Accounting Research

The Journal of Accounting Research is pleased to issue an open call for survey pa-

per proposals. Proposals should be brief (no more than a few pages) and may be

submitted at any time. Proposals received will be considered by the senior editors

on a timely basis. Approved proposals provide an agreed-upon framework for the

author(s) to follow in writing up their survey papers prior to eventual submission

(but do not guarantee publication). Submitted survey papers will undergo a feed-

back process involving a reviewer and/or AE as well as one or several senior editors.

Satisfactory revision of the full survey paper in response to this feedback will result

in publication of the survey paper in the Journal of Accounting Research.

Surveys can aid scholars by expanding their knowledge and understanding of an

area of inquiry. They also help policy makers, regulators and other audiences in

assessing the state of knowledge in a research area. We particularly encourage sur-

vey proposals that not only summarize and review an existing set of studies, but that

build a framework for understanding and interpreting the extant work. They should

also provide thoughtful guidance to readers about gaps in the existing literature

and opportunities for future research. We invite the submission of both proposals

for surveys on topics and on methods. We encourage proposals across a broad range

of topics or methods related to research in accounting. Proposals should be suff‌i-

ciently detailed to allow the editors to gauge the purpose and the f‌low of the survey.

The authors should be recognized experts in the area of the submitted proposals.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Survey paper proposals should be sub-

mitted via an email to the journal’s editorial manager, Lisa M. Heiberger at:

Lisa.heiberger@chicagobooth.edu. A $250 proposal reviewer fee is due with the

proposal. To pay, visit JAR’s online payment page, https://www.chicagobooth.edu/
