Letter From the Editor

Dear JCAF Reader,

Our new JCAF team is

about settled in, and we are

gaining traction in improving

our performance as a major

player in the international

world of corporate accounting

and finance media. Our goal is

to present ideas to transform

accounting and finance from

the industrial to the informa-

tion age. As with many eco-

nomic endeavors, we are always

seeking additional abilities and

capacities to serve our readers

and authors.

Our current Editorial

Advisory Board of Tom Pryor,

Dr. Gregory Prescott, and

Dr.Caroline Strobel continue

to promote JCAF and provide

valuable guidance. Tom is writ-

ing the book reviews until we

find a permanent columnist.

Tom also promotes JCAF at

professional meetings and

solicits authors. Greg writes

and encourages other academic

authors. Caroline is the senior

member of the Board and is

a long-time columnist writing

about taxes. All three perform

editorial reviews.

We have a very competent

group of columnists, includ-

ing Caroline Strobel (IRS),

Paul Munter (FASB), Oscar

Holzmann (FASB), Shirley

Dennis-Escoffier (IRS), and

Don Walker (SEC). We hope

to add more columns in the

near future. We are looking

for someone to provide book

reviews, a column featur-

ing tools for accountants and

finance, a column focusing on

finance issues, and a column

providing news releases relevant

to accounting and finance. Sug-

gestions and recommendations

to the editor are welcome at

jcaf.editor.edwards@gmail.com.

Our Associate Editor,

Dr.Michael Ehrlich, has

organized an anonymous peer

review team for refereeing schol-

arly manuscripts. He, along with

Wiley staff, has installed Schol-

arOne Manuscripts, a system

for managing submitted manu-

scripts and peer reviews. Ref-

ereed peer review manuscripts

should now be submitted online

at http://mc.manuscriptcentral

.com/JCAF.

We would like to add vol-

unteer members to the edito-

rial review (ER) team and to

the refereed (double-blind peer

review) (R) team. If you would

like to recommend someone

and/or volunteer yourself, con-

tact Associate Editor, Michael

Ehrlich at michael.a.ehrlich@

njit.edu for the R team or con-

tact Jim Edwards at jcaf.editor

.edwards@gmail.com for all

other classifications (ER, com-

missioned [C]). Additional vol-

unteer reviewers would enable

us to respond to authors more

quickly and effectively.

Kelly Sullivan is our Pub-

lishing Manager/Editor, and

she watches over JCAF with a

keen eye for detail and support.

Monica Calibeo is our cleanup

batter in the role of Production

Editor. She patiently schedules

and manages the production

process to ensure each issue

meets the best quality stan-

dards and deadlines.

Most of all, we need

to increase our pipeline of

contributing authors for the

features and commentaries

sections. All three categories

(R, ER, C) of feature articles

are needed. When submitting

your manuscripts, please indi-

cate the category in which you

wish for your work to be

processed.

Just in case you missed it

before, here is a description of

our feature article classifications:

R—Referred (Double-

Blind Peer Reviewed): These

manuscripts are processed by
