Advances in Accounting Behavioral Research
Advances in Accounting Behavioral Research (AABR) publishes articles encompassing all areas of accounting that incorporate theory from and contribute new knowledge and understanding to the fields of applied psychology, sociology, management science, and economics. The journal is devoted to original empirical investigations and reviews that synthesize a specific body of literature; however, theoretical analyses, and methodological contributions are welcome. AABR is receptive to replication studies, provided they investigate important issues and are concisely written. The journal especially welcomes manuscripts that integrate accounting issues with organizational behavior, human judgment/decision making, and cognitive psychology.
Manuscripts will be blind-reviewed by two reviewers and reviewed by an associate editor. AABR accepts electronic submissions and all manuscripts should be forwarded to the Editor. The manuscript will then be forwarded to an associate editor and reviewers via e-mail. Please incorporate all text, tables, and figures into a Word document before submitting. Also, include a separate Word document with any experimental materials or survey instruments. Please send the electronic documents to the editor at the following e-mail address: Vicky.Arnold@bus.ucf.edu.
