Contemporary Accounting Research
CAR is the world-renowned quarterly journal of the Canadian Academic Accounting Association. Published since Autumn 1984, it provides a forum for the publication of high quality research of interest to the Canadian accounting community. A two-day conference is held each year. |
Who We Are
Contemporary Accounting Research is the journal of the Canadian Academic Accounting Association (CAAA). Since its inception in Autumn of 1984, CAR has grown both in size and in popularity, and now finds itself ranked in the top handful of academic accounting journals worldwide. Serving a global audience, CAR is of particular interest to accounting academics, PhD students, and practitioners.
What We Do
CAR is an academic research journal published under the auspices of the CAAA. We publish one volume per calendar year, each volume consisting of four issues. Occasionally special issues and/or monographs are released which are dedicated solely to a project of research. These issues supplement the regular annual issues.
What We Publish
CAR is a multi-focus journal that accepts and publishes academic papers from any area of accounting, auditing, and tax research. As dictated in the "Aims and Scopes" of the journal, CAR is dedicated to the advancement of accounting knowledge and provides a forum for the publication of high quality manuscripts with original theoretical/empirical analyses, either basic or applied in nature, that are of interest to the Canadian accounting community. Creative interdisciplinary papers and articles stemming from research paradigms rooted in various disciplines, that advance the understanding of accounting phenomena, are also encouraged. Please see the submission guidelines for detailed information.
Where We Came From
The first issue of Contemporary Accounting Research was published in 1984 under the capable direction of founding editor, Haim Falk (University of Calgary/McMaster University). Starting off small, the first volume numbered only 273 pages, but already boasted an impressive list of papers accepted for subsequent issues. As interest in the journal grew, so did the volume of papers both submitted to, and accepted by, CAR. By the time Haim Falk's term was up in 1989, the journal had secured the position of Canada's foremost academic accounting journal. So great was the interest in CAR, that Volume 6 (co-edited by Haim Falk and the new editor William Scott [University of Waterloo]) numbered 961 pages and had to split into three issues.
Bill Scott carried on the tradition of furthering the scope and reputation of the journal until the reins were passed, in 1992, to the third editor, Michael Gibbins (University of Alberta). Dr. Gibbins, supported by a 45 person editorial board added two new divisions to the journal between 1992 and 1995; a section dedicated to the research of accounting education (Education Research), and one to replications, reanalyses, and updates of previous works (Improvements and Updates). 1994 marked the ten-year anniversary of Contemporary Accounting Research and was "celebrated" with an article in the journal which showed recent research studies placing CAR among the top four leading accounting journals worldwide.
The reins were passed in May of 1995 to the next editor, Lane Daley, from the University of Alberta. Dr. Daley had to resign in April 1997, because of ill health. Dr. Michael Gibbins served as interim editor until July 1, 1997, when Dr. Gerald Feltham and Dr. Dan Simunic of the University of British Columbia took over. Dr. Gordon D. Richardson, then of the University of Waterloo, assumed the editorship of CAR on January 1, 2001; as of September 2002, he is of the Joseph Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto.

- author¡¯s name and affiliation;
- address, phone, fax, and email numbers of the person to whom correspondence should be addressed; and
- acknowledgements and information on grants received.

- If you use Microsoft Word¡¯s Track Changes function, before submitting your electronic files, please ensure that you accept all changes and turn off Track Changes in your files.
Disclosure
Together with the paper being submitted, authors are asked to include a copy of any other paper, whether or not published elsewhere, that shares data or modeling analysis with the submitted paper. The contribution of the submitted manuscript must be clearly distinguishable from other such papers. If the submitted paper is based on an experiment, survey, or other data manipulations, participants, or variables involved in that collection are reflected in the paper, authors are asked to include a memo describing and explaining the circumstances and estimating any effects on the results. The memo may be sent to reviewers. All reviews are blind reviews.
