Call for Papers

Submissions are invited for forthcoming volumes of Advances in Accounting Education (AIAE).  AIAE publishes a wide variety of articles dealing with accounting education at the college and university level.  AIAE encourages readable, relevant, and reliable articles in all areas of accounting education, including auditing, financial and managerial accounting, forensic accounting, governmental accounting, taxation, accounting systems, etc.  Articles from authors outside the U.S. are encouraged. Papers can focus on:

•    Innovations in teaching and learning, including cases with teaching notes and evidence to demonstrate effectiveness (see the note on cases below).
•    Research studies with implications for improving accounting education.
•    Emerging technologies that offer opportunities to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning.
•    Disruptive technologies and business models with implications for accounting education.
•    Assessment of learning and continuous improvement.
•    Pedagogical implications of regulation.
•    Administrative and leadership issues related to accounting education.
•    Issues related to the demand for and supply of accounting graduates and professional credentials in accounting.
•    Health and well-being of accounting students and professionals in accounting.
•    Global challenges, constraints, and opportunities for accounting education.
•    Critical reviews of the domain of accounting with implications for curriculum innovation.
•    Conceptual models, methodology discussions, and position papers on particular issues. 
•    Historical discussions and literature reviews with implications for pedagogical efforts.

AIAE provides a forum for sharing ideas and innovations in teaching and learning, ranging from curricula development to content delivery techniques. All articles must include a discussion of implications for teaching, learning, and curriculum improvements.  Non-empirical papers should be academically rigorous and specifically discuss the institutional context of a course or program, as well as any relevant tradeoffs or policy issues.  Empirical reports should exhibit sound research design and execution and must develop a thorough motivation and literature review, possibly including references from outside the accounting field.

SUBMISSION PROCESS

Send two MS Word files by email: 
(1)    a manuscript with an abstract and any research instruments used, with no information to identify authors; and
(2)    a cover page with a list of all authors’ names, institutional affiliations, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. 

 

Abstracts should contain about 175 words followed by a list of six keywords. Authors should include the following statement at the bottom of the cover/title page:

 

This paper is the authors’ original work; all figures and tables are the authors’ original work; the paper has not been previously published; and it is not currently under review at any other journal.

WRITING GUIDELINES

  1. Write your manuscript using active voice. Therefore, you can use the pronouns "we" and “I”.  Also, please avoid using a series of prepositional phrases. We strongly encourage you to use a grammar and spell checker on manuscripts before you submit to AIAE. Parsimony is a highly desirable trait for manuscripts we publish. Be concise in making your points and arguments.

  2. Each paper should include a cover sheet (the title page) with the names, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses for all authors. The title page also should include an abbreviated title that you should use as a running head (see item 7 below). The running head should be no more than 70 characters, which include all letters, numbers, punctuation and spaces between words. 

  3. The second page should consist of an abstract of approximately 150 words and up to six key words.

  4. You should begin the first page of the manuscript with the manuscript's title. DO NOT use the term "Introduction" or any other term at the beginning of the manuscript. Simply begin your discussion.

  5. Use uniform margins of 1.5 inches at the top, bottom, right and left of every page. Do not justify lines; leave the right margins uneven. Type no more than 25 lines of text per page.

  6. Double-space all lines of text, including titles, headings and quotations.

  7. Place each figure, table and chart on a separate page at the end of the manuscript. Include a marker in the body of the paper to show approximately, where in the final manuscript each figure, table or chart will appear.

  8. After you have arranged the manuscript pages in correct order, number them consecutively, beginning with the title page. Number all pages. Place the number in the upper right-hand corner using Arabic numerals. Identify each manuscript page by typing an abbreviated title (header) above the page number.

  9. Format all citations within your text with the author(s) name and the year of publication. An appropriate citation is Catanach (2004) or Catanach and Feldmann (2005), or Catanach et a1. (2006) when there are three or more authors. You do not need to cite six or seven references at once, particularly when most recent references cite earlier works. Please try to limit yourself to two or three citations at a time, preferably the most recent ones. Use APA 6. For examples, see https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples.  

  10. You should place page numbers for quotations along with the date of the material being cited.  For example: According to Beaver (1987, 4), “Our knowledge of education research …and its potential limitations for accounting ...”

  11. List at the end of the paper the full bibliographic information (e.g., author, year, title, journal, volume, issue and page numbers) for all references cited in the body of the paper. List references in alphabetical order by the first author’s last name. For examples, see https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples. 

  12. Center, capitalize each word and bold main headings; capitalize the first letter in each word, italicize and bold and center sub-headings; capitalize the first word, italicize and center the next level headings; capitalize the first word, italicize and left justify next level headings. ​​
     

A Note on Cases

AIAE welcomes and encourages submission of cases, but suggests the following format for case manuscripts: 

 

  1. A section that contains (a) a brief motivation for the case; (b) a brief overview of similar published cases; (c) a brief synopsis of the case, how it was developed, and its learning value; and (d) a short paragraph to describe how the manuscript is organized. No heading is required for this section. 

  2. A section labeled “The CASE” that offers the full description of the case as it might be distributed to students. Authors should include a list of questions/requirements for the case.  

  3. A section labeled “LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE,” which describes the authors’ learning objectives, guidance for instructors to implement the case, and a brief description of and justification for the authors' artificial intelligence policy pertaining to the case. 

  4. A section labeled “EVIDENCE OF EFFICACY” to describe the authors’ evidence that the case is a valuable learning innovation. Evidence might include an analysis to assess cognitive impact (based on evaluation of actual learning artefacts produced by students such as exams, quizzes, essays etc.), an analysis of affective impact (based on surveys and interviews of students’ opinions and attitudes related to the case), and an analysis of perceived impact by professionals and faculty peers (based on structured or unstructured feedback obtained from independent peers about the learning value of the case). 

  5. A section labeled “CONCLUSION” that offers closing remarks about the case, its learning value, and classroom implementation, opportunities for portability to other settings, limitations, and opportunities for further case research related to the topic. 

​

Authors should submit teaching notes and suggested case solutions in a separate document. Teaching notes and solutions will not be published. 

 

All case submissions should include an abstract of no more than 175 words along with six keywords.
