The 13th annual conference of the Journal of Accounting and Public Policy (JAPP) will be held on June 6th, 2025, at Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw, GA (USA).
In line with recent editions of the conference, the theme of the conference will be:
Current Issues in Accounting and Public Policy
In accordance with the journal Aims and Scope statement, we encourage the submission of manuscripts at “… the interface of accounting with economics, political science, sociology, or law.”
This intersection of research fields is particularly relevant in current times characterized by rapid technological change, pressing environmental and societal challenges, pandemics, and wars. As factors shaping firms and society change both Accounting and Public Policy need to evolve in response to dynamic challenges and changing information needs. The last few editions of the JAPP annual conference have been exemplified by a lively discussion of papers addressing some of these contemporary challenges. We expect the 2025 conference to continue in this tradition.
As it is customary for the journal, we are open to any methodological approach and to both theoretical and empirical work or a combination of the two. Papers adopting an historical perspective are welcome.
Papers submitted to the JAPP conference will be subject to a blind review process. Papers accepted for presentation at the conference will also be considered for publication in a special theme issue of JAPP.
We are also happy to announce that one presenter for each of the accepted papers will be awarded up to $1,000 USD toward travel expenses.
PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Papers for the 2025 conference and special issue may be submitted through the Editorial Manager electronic platform by January 15, 2025. You can access the platform through this link.
