Statement of Purpose

Advances in Accounting Education: Teaching and Curriculum Innovations is a refereed academic journal whose purpose is to help meet the needs of faculty members and administrators who are interested in ways to improve teaching, learning, and curriculum development in the accounting area at the college and university level. We publish thoughtful, well-developed articles that are readable, relevant, and reliable.

Articles may be either empirical or non-empirical and should emphasize innovative approaches that inform faculty and administrators as they seek to advance their classrooms, curricula, and programs. All articles should have well-articulated and strong theoretical foundations. Establishing a link to the non-accounting literature is desirable. Further, we expect all manuscripts to address implications for the scholarship of teaching and learning.

Normally, articles that emphasize pedagogy and classroom innovation (e.g., cases, exercises, specific approaches to teaching a topic, etc.) must demonstrate efficacy in a college setting. That is, the authors offer evidence to show that the innovation has been tried and it is effective.

Non-empirical manuscripts should be academically rigorous. They can be theoretical syntheses, conceptual models, position papers, discussions of methodology, comprehensive literature reviews grounded in theory, or historical discussions with implications for efforts to enhance teaching, learning, and curriculum development. Reasonable assumptions and logical development are essential.

Sound research design and execution are critical for empirical reports. Reviewers focus on the quality of method, data, results, and analysis as well as the implications for teaching, learning, and curriculum development.

Review Procedures

Advances in Accounting Education: Teaching and Curriculum Innovations provides authors with timely reviewer reports that clearly indicate the status of the manuscript. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two reviewers. Authors receive initial reviews normally within eight to twelve weeks of manuscript submission.
