Journal
Accounting And The
Public Interest
An Academic Journal published by the
Public Interest Section of the American Accounting Association
Accounting and the Public
Interest is the first exclusively online journal in the American Accounting
Association's (AAA) current stable of academic journals and the only one that
has as its primary focus the public interest. The purpose of the journal is to
provide a forum for academic research addressing the public interest. The first
volume will appear in 2000. The journal, envisioned as innovative and eclectic,
welcomes alternative theories and methodologies as well as the more traditional
ones. The common element in this diversity is the requirement that a study and
its findings be linked to the public interest by situating the findings within
the economic, social, ethical, and political context, and ultimately providing
guidance for responsible action. Responsible action can be promoted through
research in all areas of accounting including, but not restricted to, financial
accounting, auditing, accounting in organizations, social and environmental
accounting, government and professional regulation, taxation, gender issues,
professional and business ethics, information technology applications,
accounting and business education, and governance of accounting organizations.
Theoretical and empirical contributions, as well as literature reviews
synthesizing the state of the art in specific areas, are considered
appropriate. Replications and reinterpretations of previous work will also be
considered. This editorial policy provides a publication outlet within the AAA
for accounting research taking a socially responsive, and responsible,
perspective. Our goal is to communicate a decision to the author within four to
six weeks of receipt of a manuscript. We hope the new journal, and its
constructive and responsive editorial procedures, will render research efforts
relevant and rewarding for all concerned.
