Call for Papers
IMA Educational Case Journal

IMA is pleased to announce the launching of the IMA Educational Case Journal (IECJ). The mission of the Journal is to publish teaching cases and research related to case writing or teaching with cases in management accounting and related fields. International submissions are welcome and encouraged. The initial issue is targeted for December 2007. Listing of the Journal in Cabell's Directory and the SSCI will be pursued.

IECJ will be published quarterly on-line. All manuscripts will be sent to two reviewers, although additional reviewers may be consulted in some instances. A double-blind peer review process will be employed. A strong effort will be made to complete the initial review within two to three months.

IECJ (both current and past issues) will be available on the IMA's website. In addition, in order to enhance accessibility of the cases, cases included in the journal will be individually accessible and downloadable (in PDF format), and searchable by keyword terms. The journal (and individual cases) will be available free to IMA members and will also be available on a subscription basis. Recipients of the journal receive the right to free use of the cases for educational purposes. Teaching notes will be contained in a secure location on the IMA website and will be made available without charge to IMA members and subscribers who can demonstrate a need for access to them (ex., course instructors).

EDITORIAL BOARD
A listing of members of the Editorial Board is available at the Journal's website (imanet.org/IECJ).

SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Manuscripts will be accepted on an on-going basis. There is NO submission or page fee. Manuscripts must not have been previously published and must not be currently under review by another journal or publisher. Authors will retain the right to use their cases for instructional purposes. Cases may be released for other publications after a publication date has been set by the Journal's Editor.

Case studies to be considered for the Journal should be submitted electronically to the Editor via e-mail attachment. Complete submission guidelines, including details regarding manuscript preparation, are available at imanet.org/IECJ. Journal submissions and questions regarding the Journal can be sent to the Editor, Raef Lawson, IMA's Director of Research at IECJ@imanet.org.
