Editorial objectives

The objective of the Accounting Research Journal is to provide a valuable forum for communication between the profession and academics on the research and practice of accounting, finance, auditing, commercial law and cognate disciplines. The editors would encourage submissions in any of the above areas, which have a practical and/or applied focus. In particular, work reporting the results of research conducted using data from Australia, New Zealand and other Asian-Pacific countries would be welcomed. However this policy does not exclude the publication of theoretical works. The journal is committed to the dissemination of research findings to as wide an audience as possible. As a result, we strongly encourage authors to consider a wide and varied readership when writing papers.

Editorial criteria

ARJ encourages articles with both a practical and academic focus in the accounting, finance, auditing, commercial law and cognate disciplines. Three kinds of article are published in the ARJ:

Research Articles – Detailed articles discussing the issues at hand, either theoretical, empirical or a combination of both. Well balanced review articles covering fundamental and/or topical areas in the broad accounting discipline are also encouraged.

Notes and Comments – Focusing on a more specific topical issue or reviewing previously published papers.

Educational Notes – Involve issues or experiments which have accounting education as their central focus.
