Journal of Information Systems
Special REA Model Anniversary Section

Call for Papers

Papers relating to the REA model are invited for publication in a special section of the Journal of Information Systems to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the seminal paper in this area, "The REA Accounting Model: A Generalized Framework for Accounting Systems in a Shared Data Environment," by William E. McCarthy (The Accounting Review Vol 57, July 1982).

REA-related academic studies, education papers, and practice articles consistent with the editorial policy of the Journal of Information Systems are strongly encouraged. All methods are welcome, including critical analysis, design science, experiments, and essay. Professor Guido Geerts, University of Delaware, will serve as guest JIS associate editor for all papers submitted to the REA special section.

This call for papers coincides with a similar call for papers to the REA-25 conference to be held June 13 through June 15, 2007 in Newark Delaware. See

Submission Deadline for JIS: Authors may submit papers to the REA special section of JIS at anytime up to and including September 1, 2007 via e-mail to jis@sc.edu. The submission deadline, however, is set to allow authors time who wish to incorporate feedback from the conference prior to submitting to the journal.
