You are free to submit the paper to any journal. A paper under review (or being revised for resubmission) at another journal as of the conference submission deadline may not be submitted.
All research methods (including, but not limited to, archival, analytical, behavioral, experimental, and field studies) will be considered. Contingent on suitable revisions in accordance with JATA’s normal review procedures, papers submitted to JATA and accepted for the conference will be published in a regular issue of the journal, along with discussants’ comments. Conference papers will be made available to conference participants in advance of the midyear meeting through the ATA web site. Papers submitted to JATA but not accepted for the conference will be treated as regular submissions to JATA. Authors will be notified of the conference selection decision by December 5, 2011.

New Faculty/Doctoral Student Research Session - This session provides new faculty and doctoral students an excellent opportunity to gain exposure by presenting their research in a conference setting and to receive constructive feedback on their work. In order for a paper to qualify for the New Faculty/ Doctoral Student Research Session, at least one author must have started their first tenure-track faculty position during the 2008-09 academic-year or later or be a doctoral student.
We invite authors to submit research papers and research-in-process papers. Research-in-process must be sufficiently developed to allow informed feedback (e.g., well developed background and theory, clearly stated hypotheses, and planned statistical analysis). Doctoral students are invited to submit papers based on their dissertation or other working papers. Papers already accepted for publication prior to the selection announcement date are ineligible; submission of papers close to publication acceptance is discouraged. Papers submitted for this session may also be submitted to either the JATA Conference, or the ATA Legal Research Session.
The ATA will partially support doctoral students who have papers accepted for the New Faculty/Doctoral Student Research session: the registration fee will be waived and one night’s lodging at the hotel will be provided. The submission deadline is November 1, 2011. Please read the submission guidelines, below.

Research-in-process Session – This session provides all researchers an opportunity to present research-in-process. Research-in-process must be sufficiently developed to allow informed feedback (e.g., well developed background and theory, clearly stated hypotheses, and planned statistical analysis). Papers that will be submitted to a journal prior to the submission deadline are not eligible. We encourage submission of a variety of papers including those that examine new topics, new or seldom seen methods of research, new data sets, etc. that might appeal to our audience of tax enthusiasts. This session aims to provide authors with relevant and timely feedback and the audience exposure to cutting edge research. The submission deadline is December 1, 2011.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR BOTH
THE NEW FACULTY/DOCTORAL STUDENT
AND
THE RESEARCH-IN-PROCESS SESSIONS
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format.

With the exception of the cover page, the identity of the author(s) should be deleted from the files. Files should be transmitted as email attachments to Amy Dunbar at Amy.Dunbar@Business.UConn.edu. Please indicate that the submission is to be considered for the conference by including “ATA Midyear Meeting submission” in the subject line of the email. In addition, please indicate in the email the following:
1: Research session for which the paper is being submitted (i.e., New faculty or Research-in-process); 2: In the case of papers submitted to the New Faculty/Doctoral student session, whether the paper has also been submitted to either the JATA Conference or the Legal Research session.
All accepted papers will be made available to conference participants in advance of the midyear meeting through the ATA web site. Questions regarding the New Faculty or Research-in-Process sessions should be sent to Amy Dunbar at Amy.Dunbar@Business.UConn.edu.
