Call for Papers
28th Contemporary Accounting Research Conference

October 25-26, 2013, Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront Hotel, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
(plus Doctoral/Junior Faculty Consortium on October 24)

Celebrating a Decade of Diversity

A little over a decade ago, Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) made explicit a commitment that had long been implicit, to celebrate the diverse traditions that make up accounting research and to expand them to new vistas. Hence, this 28th CAR Conference to be held in Kingston, Ontario, will celebrate diversity and hopefully will feature some new vistas that have yet to be properly explored. Further, the current Editor (in-Chief) and his Editorial Team will be hosting their last CAR Conference. We invite you to come and celebrate the diversity of accounting research that is CAR's tradition. From financial markets to societal implications; from analytical modeling to case studies; from economics through to sociology; all researchers and formats of research are welcomed to this conference. While others talk about the need to create "more innovative" accounting research and researchers, CAR does it!

Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) is the premiere research journal of the Canadian Academic Accounting Association, which publishes leading-edge research that contributes to our understanding of all aspects of accounting's role within organizations, markets or society. Canadian-based, increasingly global in scope, CAR seeks to reflect the geographical and intellectual diversity in accounting research. To accomplish this, CAR will continue to publish in its traditional areas of excellence, while seeking to more fully represent other research streams in its pages, so as to continue and expand its tradition of excellence. Therefore, CAR welcomes interesting and intellectually rigorous work in all areas of accounting (including audit, financial, government and nonprofit, information systems, managerial and tax) using relevant methods (including but not limited to analytical, archival, case study, empirical, experimental, or field); based in economics, finance, history, psychology, sociology, or any cognate disciplines that help illuminate the role of accounting within organizations, markets or society.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: As submissions to the conference also constitute submissions to CAR, submissions should follow CAR's editorial guidelines. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically using CAR's online submission and peer review system at https://www.editorialmanager.com/car. Authors should submit the appropriate submission fee using the online fee payment form at http://www.caaa.ca/CAR/SubFees/index.php. Payment may be made by VISA, MasterCard, or cheque. Submission fees are $125 for CAAA members and $200 for non-members (dollar amounts are in Canadian funds in Canada and in U.S. funds elsewhere). Submission fees are non-refundable.

Submissions must arrive at the CAR EM system no later than April 19, 2013.

Papers not accepted for the conference (and submissions that come in after the deadline) will be treated the same as non-conference submissions. Papers accepted for the conference are generally published in CAR; however, the ultimate disposition of each manuscript depends on the normal review procedures employed by the journal. Authors will be notified of the decision regarding the conference agenda by late July 2013 and of the outcome of the editorial process for publication in CAR in the normal course. Submissions should be directed to Professor Steven Salterio, Editor (in-Chief), Contemporary Accounting Research, Via the CAR EM system at: https://www.editorialmanager.com/car

Questions about the submission process should be addressed to Mary Lui at car@caaa.ca or by phone at (+1) 416-486-5361 or via fax at (+1) 416-486-6158.
