British Accounting Review

The British Accounting Review is BAFA's official journal, currently jointly edited by Mike Jones (University of Bristol) and Howard Mellett (Cardiff Business School).

The British Accounting Review is an international journal that publishes high-quality articles across the whole spectrum of topics and methodologies in accounting and finance. The journal acts as a forum for communication throughout the world between members of the academic and professional community concerned with the research and teaching, at degree level and above, of accounting, finance, and cognate disciplines.

The British Accounting Review carries three types of articles: main articles, review articles, and book reviews. Main articles are research reports, polemi ca l articles, and stat e-of-the- art papers. Book reviews are commissioned by the book review editor, and notes and comments on the published articles are welcomed.

Editorial Policy

The British Accounting Review is pleased to publish original scholarly papers across the whole spectrum of Accounting and Finance. The Journal is eclectic and pluralistic and contributions are welcomed across a wide range of research methodologies and topics. Each paper will be judged according to international standards within its topic area, the originality of its contribution, its relevance to development of the subject and its quality of exposition. Published papers will normally be expected to be informed theoretically and empirically. Authoritative state-of-the-art reviews that provide significant insight for future research progress are also welcome. Papers should be comprehensible to colleagues with a specialist or informed interest in the general area to which the paper relates but who may, however, not be experts in the specific issues dealt with in the paper.

The editors welcome the submission of manuscripts in the areas of financial accounting, management accounting, finance and financial management, auditing, public sector accounting, social and environmental accounting; accounting education and accounting history. All methodologies are also welcomed, including analytical, archival, experimental, survey and case methods.
