Call for Papers

36th Annual Contemporary Accounting Research Conference

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada*

Hyatt Regency Vancouver

 

Friday, October 22–Saturday, October 23, 2021

(with the Doctoral/Junior Faculty Consortium on Thursday, October 21)

 

Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) has a well-established worldwide reputation for publishing diverse and innovative research across the entire spectrum of roles that accounting plays in markets, organizations, and society.

 

The 36th CAR Conference, being held in Vancouver, British Columbia*, will continue to celebrate this diversity and innovation. We welcome the submission of insightful and relevant research on any accounting topic, based on the rigorous application of an appropriate method.

 

Submission Process

Submissions to the conference are submissions to CAR, and must follow CAR’s submission processes. When submitting to the online system, choose article type “2021 CAR Conference.” Submission fees for conference papers, payable by VISA or MasterCard, are the same as submission fees for regular CAR submissions. Submissions to the CAR conference are accepted in English only.

 

Submissions must arrive at the CAR Editorial Manager system no later than 4:59p.m. ET on March 19, 2021.

 

Papers not accepted for the conference and submissions that come in after the deadline will be treated as regular CAR submissions. Papers accepted for the conference are usually published in CAR; however, the ultimate disposition of each manuscript will be determined through the journal’s normal review process. Authors will be notified of the initial decision regarding their conference submission by early August 2021.

 

Submissions should be directed to:

Professor Alan Webb

Contemporary Accounting Research

 

Questions about the submission process should be directed to Ms. Carina Hackett at car@caaa.ca.

*If it is not possible to meet in-person, the 2021 conference will be held virtually.
