About the journal
The Journal of Business Finance & Accounting exists to publish high quality research papers in Finance and economic aspects of Accounting. The scope of the Journal is broad. It includes studies of the functioning of security and exchange markets through to the economics of internal organisation and management control. It also includes research papers relating to market microstructure, asset pricing, and corporate financial decision making. A distinctive feature of the Journal is that it recognises that adverse selection and moral hazard issues are pervasive in financial markets and business organisations, and that Accounting (both financial and managerial) plays a part in ameliorating the problems arising from such informational problems. Thus the editors see Accounting and Finance as being conceptually inter-linked. These linkages are especially apparent in the areas of corporate governance, financial communication, financial performance measurement, and managerial reward and control structures.
The Journal welcomes both theoretical and empirical contributions, especially theoretical papers that yield novel testable implications, and empirical papers that are theoretically well motivated. The Journal is not a suitable outlet for highly abstract mathematical papers, or empirical papers with inadequate theoretical motivation. The editors view Finance and Accounting as being closely related to Economics, and look for theoretical contributions and theoretical motivations that are based in economics. This includes mainstream neo-classical economics, as well as game theory and transaction costs economics. The Journal also welcomes papers in behavioural finance, which seek to advance our understanding of how the limits to human information processing ability influence financial decisions and the framing and completeness of financial contracts.
The majority of empirical papers in the Journal employ econometric or related empirical methods as a central feature of their research design. However, the editors welcome contributions that employ alternative empirical research methods, such as case studies, where these are appropriate for the problem at hand. For example, where economic behaviours are discovered that deviate markedly from the norm predicted by the conventional research paradigm, case studies might be used to investigate the causes of such apparent deviations. One issue each year is a special issue containing selected papers from the annual Capital Market Based Accounting Research conference.

OnlineEarly
Journal of Business Finance and Accounting is covered by Blackwell Publishing's OnlineEarly Service. OnlineEarly articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. OnlineEarly articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the author's final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changed can be made after online publication. The nature of OnlineEarly articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so OnlineEarly articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
Author Services
NEW: Online production tracking is now available for your article through Blackwell's Author Services.
Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
