The review process<\/strong><\/p>\n

EAA adopts a number of rules and requirements aimed to ensure the quality of the review process and high academic standards for the papers to be presented. The Scientific Committee (SC) includes more than 250 members, who are academics with relevant experience in their respective fields. Without their voluntary support, the review process would simply not be possible. The submission categories seek to convey a clear picture of the topics and research methods. Also, a clear scoring methodology allows to assist reviewers in the review process. Finally, sessions with experts in the field acting as discussant of papers are scheduled for an increasing number of papers. All these provisions are aimed at ensuring a smooth review process, a good quality of selected papers, as well as relevant feedback to authors during the conference.<\/p>\n

With the aim to improve the academic profile of the EAA annual congresses, the Standing Scientific Committee (SSC) has been implementing new changes during the last few years. These range from the requirement of full papers only to the introduction of discussants for papers of particular interest. The review process has also been improved. Not only has the SC gradually been increased up to 250 members, including the SSC members, but the scoring methodology has also been refined and included on this website (see below). Moreover, the submission categories have been gradually revised to obtain a clearer picture of the topics and research methods. In our view this will not only improve the review process but also the organisation of the sessions.<\/p>\n

Submission categories<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to increase the dialogue amongst various research perspectives, and to avoid the creation of dogmatic paradigms, the SSC employs a submission procedure that tries to capture both the topic and method of a submitted paper. In this way, sessions could be organised according to topics but each author\/paper will carry a \u2018key\u2019 identifying the research method\/perspective that the author thinks better describes the paper. This will facilitate the work of the SSC in preparing sessions and will make it possible to combine in a session papers in different ways (e.g., keeping homogeneity of methods or mixing them as they deal with the same topic). The result will hopefully be interesting as comparison of approaches is now possible.<\/p>\n

Consequently, authors are invited to submit papers to any of the categories indicated below:<\/p>\n

A) Subject\/Topic<\/strong> of the paper submitted:<\/p>\n

AU = Auditing <\/strong>
\nSubmissions in the area of auditing and assurance.<\/p>\n

AM = Analytical\/Modelling<\/strong>
\nSubmissions which derive their conclusions by an explicit analysis of mathematical models or other concrete specifications of economic relationships (e.g., graphics).<\/p>\n

CDIH = Conceptual Development\/Interpretative\/Historical<\/strong>
\nSubmissions which discuss the purposes of and\/or definitions of and\/or relationships among concepts and\/or apply methodology related to historical perspectives.<\/p>\n

CF = Case\/Field Study<\/strong>
\nSubmissions which utilise the case study method or conduct field study research through various methodologies (e.g., ethnographies).<\/p>\n

EA = Empirical Archival <\/strong>
\nSubmissions which involve the testing of a statistical hypothesis to answer the research question(s); a data-base is normally used.<\/p>\n

EX = Experimental<\/strong>
\nSubmissions which utilise an experimental design to address the research question(s).<\/p>\n

SU = Survey<\/strong>
\nSubmissions which utilise a survey methodology to address the research question(s).<\/p>\n

Review instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Review instructions<\/p>\n

Does the paper have sufficient (potential for) contribution that could warrant publication in a good accounting journal such as European Accounting Review<\/em> or Accounting in Europe<\/em>?<\/p>\n

1: the paper has no potential for contribution,<\/p>\n

2: the paper has limited potential for contribution,<\/p>\n

3: the paper has potential for contribution,<\/p>\n

4: the paper has high potential for contribution,<\/p>\n

5: the paper has very high potential for contribution.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is the paper sufficiently developed for submission to a good accounting journal such as European Accounting Review<\/em> or Accounting in Europe<\/em>?<\/p>\n

1: the paper is at a very early stage<\/p>\n

2: the paper is at an early stage<\/p>\n

3: the paper is reasonably developed <\/p>\n

4: the paper is well developed<\/p>\n

5: the paper is very well developed<\/p>\n

Reviewers are requested to use the full scale as decisions will initially be based on an average of scores and we may well (have to) accept papers which do not quite reach a 4, so the 1, 2, 3 grades are relevant.<\/p>\n

The reviewers\u2019 comments, when available, will be systematically released to the authors. However, comments from the reviewers will not be compulsory and authors should not expect the same type of comments made when submitting to a journal.<\/p>\n
