European Accounting Review 2020 Annual Conference

ESMT Berlin

Germany

11–12 September 2020

Call for Papers

We are happy to announce that the 2020 European Accounting Review Annual Conference will be held at ESMT Berlin (Berlin, Germany). The Conference is organized by EAR with hosting and support by the Center for Financial Reporting and Auditing (CFRA) at ESMT Berlin.

We invite submissions of original papers addressing research questions in all areas of accounting research. European Accounting Review emphasizes openness and flexibility, not only regarding the substantive issues of accounting research, but also with respect to paradigms, methodologies, and styles of conducting that research. EAR is global in scope and welcomes submissions relating to any country or region that clearly communicate relevance to an international audience.

In addition, EAR features a (i) ‘Young Scholar Track,’ for submissions by non-tenured faculty, and Ph.D. students, where job market papers are particularly well received, and a (ii) ‘Methods Workshop,’ for shorter papers that discuss important problems in research methods and design across all methods (field, experimental, archival) and paradigms. Submissions that fit either the ‘Young Scholar’ or the ‘Methods Workshop’ track are encouraged and will receive special consideration by the editorial team.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 10 April 2020.

Original contributions should be submitted at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/rear.

Submissions are treated as submissions to EAR, and should not be under review at any other journal. All papers will be refereed and decisions should be conveyed to authors by the middle of June 2020. Subject to satisfactory revision, accepted conference papers will be published in the conference issue of EAR in 2021.

Conference attendance is by invitation. EAA members interested in attending should request an invitation at https://faculty-research.esmt.berlin/ear-2020. The Conference will start in the evening of 10 September 2020. Hotel accommodation will be provided for one author of each selected conference paper. Conference participants are responsible for making their own travel arrangements.
