Call for Papers:

We will continue to expand the Journal’s scope while simultaneously improving the quality and enhancing the quantity of submissions to get ranking, the Impact Factor, for the JFAR. We are currently ranked as a “B” journal on the latest version of the ABDC. We are planning to take the journal international by getting ranking in international and regional databases including SSRN, Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), Web of Science, Scopus, CABS (UK), CNRS (France) and VHB (Germany) amongst others and obtain the Impact Factor. To accomplish this goal, we have commissioned several special topics/forums. Calls for papers for these special topics for the JFAR’s consideration and publication as posted on the websites of the American Accounting Association (AAA) and the Forensic Accounting Section (FAS). We are reaching out to our global colleagues through our mentoring process to consider submitting to this fast-track review for special topics of the JFAR. Please contact the Issue Guest Editors for more detailed information about special issues with your suggestions, comments, and proposals.
