New Publishing Opportunity
Call for Proposals
At the 2007 Annual Meeting the Executive Committee approved the reinstatement of the monograph series Studies in Accounting Research (SAR). The AAA issued 33 SARs from 1969 through 2000. SAR is a prestigious series that provides an outlet for seminal and innovative research not bounded by the usual space and topic constraints present in our journals. SAR is of significant benefit to authors in exploring a topic in great depth and as a resource for other researchers.
Interested individuals are encouraged to either submit a proposal or a completed work. The SAR procedures, as stated below, have the following objectives: to provide an outlet for authors to develop an in depth consideration of a research topic or area; to ensure SAR are of high quality; and to identify topics that are timely and of broad interest to our members.
- The Vice President of Research will periodically send out public announcements to AAA members to solicit proposals or a completed work for a SAR. Proposals should be of appropriate length and specificity to provide a basis to determine the likely outcome and value of the work (e.g., 5–10 pages). A vita from each author is also required. Funding is not available from the AAA for the author(s). The AAA will publicize, publish, and distribute sufficient copies based on orders received from members and non-members.
- Proposals and completed works will be evaluated by the Vice President of Research and the research advisory committee for suitability. A review committee of three or more members will be established for an accepted proposal or completed work. The committee will provide comments and suggestions and upon completion make a recommendation to the Vice President of Research as to whether the work meets SAR criteria. For proposals the committee will also, monitor the work as it is being completed, The selection of members of the review committee will be based upon recommendations of the author(s) and the Vice President of Research with the objective of forming a mutually acceptable group that is highly conversant with the area and possesses established research records. The review committee may include a member of the research advisory committee at the time the work is approved to provide continuity.
- Appropriate milestones and time limits will be established for the completion of the work.
- It is envisioned that about one SAR will be published every year.
