Call for Papers
We are happy to announce that the 2027 European Accounting Review Annual Conference will be held at the Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna. EAR Annual Conference is a scholarly forum for the presentation and discussion of high-quality research papers. The conference program will include a limited number of papers, each of which will be assigned a discussant.
We invite submissions of original papers addressing research questions in all areas of accounting research. European Accounting Review emphasizes openness and flexibility, not only regarding the substantive issues of accounting research, but also with respect to paradigms, methodologies, and styles of conducting that research. EAR is global in scope and welcomes submissions relating to any country or region that clearly communicate relevance to an international audience.
In addition, EAR features a (i) ‘Young Scholar Track,’ for submissions by non-tenured faculty and Ph.D. students, with job market papers being particularly well received; an (ii) ‘Open Science’ track, for shorter papers that discuss important problems in research methods and design across all methods (field, experimental, archival) and paradigms, where authors are encouraged to share unique datasets or code, and, a (iii) ‘Registered Reports’ track, where authors can pre-register their experiments or field studies. Further details are available at the EAR website. Submissions for the ‘Young Scholar,’ the ‘Open Science,’ or the ‘Registered Reports’ tracks are encouraged and will receive special consideration by the editorial team.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Aug 31, 2026
Original contributions should be submitted at https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/rear20.
Submissions are treated as submissions to EAR, and should not be under review at any other journal. All papers will be refereed and decisions should be conveyed to authors by the middle of December 2026. The EAR Editors will select and invite a suitable mix of papers to the EAR conference from those submissions based on the reviews. Subject to satisfactory revision, accepted conference papers are expected to be published in 2028.
Conference attendance is by invitation. The Conference will start in the morning of 1 April 2027. Hotel accommodation will be provided for one author of each selected conference paper. Conference participants are responsible for making their own travel arrangements.
