The 19th Journal of the American Taxation Association Conference will be held in conjunction with the ATA Midyear Meeting in San Diego, California, on February 22-23, 2013. Original papers addressing interesting and relevant tax issues will be considered for the conference. Papers submitted to the conference will not automatically be considered for publication in JATA. 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, however, 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 14, 2012.
Manuscripts must be submitted through the Manuscript Submission and Peer Review System for JATA, located at http://jata.peerx-press.org. The site contains detailed instructions regarding the preparation of files for submission. To ensure anonymous review, please note that the article title page (with author names) must be in a separate file from the manuscript text. All manuscripts must comply with the JATA editorial policies and style guidelines. Please indicate that the paper is being submitted for the Conference and whether you are also submitting the paper for publication in JATA by checking the appropriate box on the submission website.
To be considered, papers must be received no later than November 9, 2012. (Deadline extended to Friday, November 9, 2012; was originally November 2, 2012.) If file compatibility or electronic submission presents a problem, contact Professor Phillips by email at jata@business.uconn.edu. The submission fee of $75 in U.S. funds should be paid by credit card following instructions provided on the AAA web site (http://aaahq.org/pubs/author.htm). The submission fee is only required if the paper is to be considered for publication in JATA. Questions about the submission process may be emailed to John Phillips at jata@business.uconn.edu.

We invite new faculty and doctoral students to submit research papers and research-in-process. For a paper to qualify for the New Faculty/Doctoral Student Session, at least one author must have started their first tenure-track faculty position during the 2009-2010 academic year or later, or be a doctoral student. Papers 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 JLTR Conference. 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 9, 2012. (Deadline extended to Friday, November 9, 2012; was originally November 1, 2012.) Manuscripts should be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format. Because a blind review process will be used to evaluate manuscripts, the cover page should be submitted as a separate Word or PDF file to preserve anonymity. 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 Mid-Year Meeting New Faculty / Doctoral Student Research Session Submission” in the subject line of the email. Authors should include the title of the paper, coauthor names, school affiliations, and email addresses in the body of the email. Authors should also indicate whether the paper has also been submitted to either the JATA Conference or the JLTR Conference. For multiple submissions, please submit each in a separate email. All questions should be addressed to Amy Dunbar.

Innovations and Challenges in Teaching Tax Session: The Teaching Resources Committee is sponsoring a session focused on innovative teaching in tax at the ATA Mid-Year Meeting in San Diego. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the use of social media in tax courses, assignments requiring students to apply and enhance their Excel skills, and coping with the challenge of teaching tax courses when the permanence of many tax provisions (e.g., AMT patch) is uncertain. The session’s format will include a 5-8 minute presentation of each accepted submission, after which the presenters will be available at tables to further discuss their ideas with interested audience members.
Effective Learning Strategies Session: The Committee also is planning to sponsor a session similar to the Effective Learning Strategies (ELS) sessions at the AAA annual meeting. A submitter may choose to have his or her submission considered for this session if it is not accepted for the presentation session or have it considered only for the ELS session.
Submissions for either session should describe the idea, resource, teaching strategy, or innovation that supports learning in tax, including the key issues and concepts that will be addressed. Please include learning outcomes – what will participants learn from your presentation or poster?
Authors of accepted submissions will be expected to attend the ATA Mid-Year Meeting and fulfill their responsibilities for the session for which their submission is accepted.
Submit either:
(1) for consideration only for the ELS session, a short document of approximately 200 words, or
(2) for consideration only for the presentation session or for both sessions, a longer paper (e.g., 5-10 pages, not counting figures, tables, etc.).
Deadline for submissions: January 7, 2013 (Deadline extended to Monday, January 7, 2013; was originally November 15, 2012.)
Submissions should be made electronically as email attachments to David Hulse (dshuls00@uky.edu). Indicate in your email whether you want the submission to be considered only for the presentation session, only for the ELS session, or for both sessions. Please make the email’s subject line “ATA Mid-Year Meeting Submission.”
For further information, contact David Hulse (dshuls00@uky.edu).
