Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory William L. Felix, Jr.,
Editor 
The above report describes the manuscript flow, time-to-review, and decision making for AJPT for the periods July 1, 1996 through December 31, 1997 and January 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998. During this period, two issues of the journal were submitted to the AAA office for publication as the Fall 1998 and Spring 1999 issues. The total of 66 new submissions compares to 83 for the prior year. The average time to an initial decision of 100 days during this period compares to approximately 87 days for the prior year. The 20 manuscripts selected for publication includes nine that have been tentatively selected for the Fall 1999 issue. While it is difficult to be precise about acceptance rates, it is my belief that the average rate is about 15 percent. This year’s 32 percent acceptance rate is, of course, much higher than last year’s 8 percent, but it includes several papers that took several revisions to reach a publishable condition. |
