Contemporary Accounting Research
Editorial Policy
Aims and Scope
Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) is the premiere research journal of the Canadian Academic Accounting Association, which publishes leading-edge research that contributes to our understanding of all aspects of accounting’s role within organizations, markets or society. Canadian based, increasingly global in scope, CAR seeks to reflect the geographical and intellectual diversity in accounting research. To accomplish this, CAR will continue to publish in its traditional areas of excellence, while seeking to more fully represent other research streams in its pages, so as to continue and expand its tradition of excellence. Therefore, CAR welcomes interesting and intellectually rigorous work in all areas of accounting (including audit, financial, information systems, managerial and tax), using relevant methods (including but not limited to analytical, archival, case study, empirical, experimental, or field); based in economics, finance, history, psychology, sociology, or any cognate disciplines that help illuminate the role of accounting within organizations, markets or society.
CAR Editorial Process
CAR accepts articles written either in English or in French. Once a manuscript is submitted, the Editor typically reviews the manuscript, determines if it falls within the Journal’s Aims and Scope, and assigns it to an Associate Editor who has particular expertise with the topic. Ad hoc Associate Editors, drawn from amongst the Consulting Editors, the Editorial Board, former Editors and Associate Editors, may be employed from time to time.
Associate Editors (including Ad hoc) assigned to specific manuscripts are responsible for the entire editorial and review process, including the decision of final disposition of the manuscript. Each manuscript is to be reviewed by two referees. Reviewers are encouraged not to attempt to identify the authors so as to maintain the integrity of the double blind review process. CAR strives to offer authors a fair, constructive, expert, and timely review process that respects the integrity of their manuscript’s topic, as well as the author’s disciplinary and methodological choices. The Editor of the Journal, as the duly appointed executive member of the Canadian Academic Accounting Association responsible for the Journal, has ultimate responsibility for all articles accepted for the Journal and hence deals with author appeals and related matters. The Editor may consult with the Consulting Editors especially on matters that may involve issues that are farther from the domains of the Editor’s areas of substantive expertise.
