The American Accounting Association (AAA) has announced its affiliation with Accounting Open, a newly launched journal published by Elsevier. As a fully open-access publication, Accounting Open is dedicated to advancing theoretical and empirical research in accounting, focusing on the description, understanding, and prediction of accounting phenomena.
The journal welcomes rigorous research that meets established ethical standards and addresses significant questions, regardless of the scope. Unlike traditional journals that prioritize novelty or high-impact findings, Accounting Open encourages submissions that include replications and studies reporting negative or null results, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of the field.
Through this collaboration, the AAA seeks to expand publishing opportunities for researchers, thereby reinforcing its commitment to disseminating high-quality academic research. The journal also aims to enhance the conduct and review of accounting research, promoting a culture of experimentation and methodological innovation. While established journals often face constraints in adopting new approaches, Accounting Open provides a platform to explore and refine best practices in accounting scholarship.
This partnership between Elsevier and the AAA highlights a shared dedication to excellence in academic publishing and the advancement of knowledge in accounting. Authors will benefit from a streamlined submission process, rigorous peer review, and broad visibility within the global research community.
