Senior Editor, The Accounting Review

The TAR Steering Committee is soliciting nominations for The Accounting Review Senior Editor position. The managing editors of the three American Accounting Association association-wide journals serve a three-year term with one initial year of transition. The TAR webpage states that The Accounting Review “should be viewed as the premier journal for publishing articles reporting the results of accounting research and explaining and illustrating related research methodology. The scope of acceptable articles should embrace any research methodology and any accounting-related subject, as long as the articles meet the standards established for publication in the journal… The primary, but not exclusive, audience should be—as it is now—academicians, graduate students, and others interested in accounting research.” 

The term of the current Senior Editor of The Accounting Review, Professor Mark DeFond, runs through May 2017. The TAR Steering Committee will consider nominees throughout the fall, with a goal to have the next Senior Editor appointed and in transition by May 2016.

Please send your nominations via email to John Harry Evans III (Chair, TAR Steering Committee) at the address below, by November 20, 2015. You are strongly encouraged to include with your nomination a current electronic copy of the candidate’s vita. Please also feel free to explain why you believe that your nominee would be a good candidate for the position.
