Elsevier and American Accounting Association announce launch of new journal

The American Accounting Association (AAA) announced today their affiliation with Accounting Open, a newly launched journal published by Elsevier. Accounting Open is a fully open access journal dedicated to publishing theoretical and empirical research contributing to the description, understanding, and prediction of accounting phenomena.

The journal aims to publish all research that adheres to accepted ethical standards, is rigorous, and addresses an important question even if narrow. The journal does not evaluate manuscripts based on their novelty or potential impact, and therefore strongly encourages the submission of replications and studies reporting negative/null results.

“The American Accounting Association is very excited about this opportunity to partner with Elsevier,” said Dr. Yvonne Hinson, AAA CEO. “Quality publishing is at the heart of what we do, and we believe Accounting Open will expand the number of avenues available for our researchers through this fully open access journal. We are proud to collaborate with Elsevier on this new journal.”

Professor Kris Hardies, Editor-in-Chief of Accounting Open, commented "I’m very interested in how science is done, and I think we can improve how we do accounting research ─ our research practices and the review process. While many recognize this need for improvement, established journals face barriers to innovation. By fostering a culture of experimentation and embracing new approaches, I envision Accounting Open playing a key role in advancing how we conduct and evaluate research in our field."

The collaboration between the AAA and Elsevier underscores a shared commitment to excellence in scientific publishing and the advancement of knowledge in accounting. Authors will benefit from a streamlined submission process, rigorous peer review, and the opportunity to publish their work in a prestigious, widely recognised platform.
