Series description

Advances in Accounting Education: Teaching and Curriculum Innovations publishes articles that explain how teaching methods or curricula/programs in accounting can be improved.

The series includes both non-empirical and empirical articles. Non-empirical papers are academically rigorous, and specifically discuss the institutional context of a course or program, as well as any relevant trade-offs or policy issues. Empirical reports exhibit sound research design and execution, and develop a thorough motivation and literature review, including references from outside the accounting field, where appropriate.

The Editors welcome high quality manuscripts and volume proposals of relevant topics. In particular, they encourage submissions related to new and innovative teaching methods in accounting, current trends in accounting education, including on-line education, student recruitment and retention into the accounting major, and accounting faculty development.

Research areas include:

  • Thought pieces that share anecdotal experiences with various pedagogical tools.
  • Comprehensive literature reviews grounded in theory.
  • Historical discussions with implications for current and future pedagogical efforts.
  • Methodology discussions.
  • Research studies with implications for improving accounting education

Submissions are invited for forthcoming volumes of Advances in Accounting Education (AIAE).  AIAE publishes a wide variety of articles dealing with accounting education at the college and university level.  AIAE encourages readable, relevant, and reliable articles in all areas of accounting education including auditing, financial and managerial accounting, forensic accounting, governmental accounting, taxation, accounting systems, etc.  Articles from authors outside the U.S. are encouraged. Papers can focus on:

  • Innovation in teaching and learning, with evidence to demonstrate effectiveness.
  • Research studies with implications for improving accounting education.
  • Efficacy of technology in teaching and learning. 
  • Disruptive technologies, emerging business models and implications for accounting education.
  • Assessment of learning and continuous improvement.
  • Pedagogical implications of regulation.
  • Administrative and leadership issues related to innovation and effective teaching and learning.
  • Global challenges, constraints and opportunities for accounting education.
  • Critical reviews of the domain of accounting with implications for curriculum innovation.
  • Conceptual models, methodology discussions, and position papers on particular issues. 
  • Historical discussions and literature reviews with implications for pedagogical efforts.

AIAE provides a forum for sharing ideas and innovations in teaching and learning ranging from curricula development to content delivery techniques. Pedagogical research that contributes to more effective teaching and learning in colleges and universities is highlighted.  All articles must include a discussion of implications for teaching, learning and curriculum improvements.  Non-empirical papers should be academically rigorous, and specifically discuss the institutional context of a course or program, as well as any relevant tradeoffs or policy issues.  Empirical reports should exhibit sound research design and execution, and must develop a thorough motivation and literature review, possibly including references from outside the accounting field.

Submission Process
Send two MS Word files by email: 
(1)    a manuscript with an abstract and any research instruments used, with no information to identify authors; and
(2)    a cover page with a list of all authors’ names, institutional affiliations, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. 
Two reviewers assess each manuscript submitted and reviews are completed in a timely manner, usually 60-90 days.

Send manuscripts to Thomas Calderon, editor, aiae@uakron.edu

Writing Guidelines
1.    Write your manuscript using active voice. Therefore, you can use the pronouns "we" and “I”.  Also, please avoid using a series of prepositional phrases. We strongly encourage you to use a grammar and spell checker on manuscripts before you submit to AIAE. Parsimony is a highly desirable trait for manuscripts we publish. Be concise in making your points and arguments.

2.    Each paper should include a cover sheet with the names, addresses, telephone number, and email address for all authors. The title page also should include an abbreviated title that you should use as a running head (see item 7 below). The running head should be no more than 70 characters, which include all letters, numbers, punctuation and spaces between words. 

3.    The second page should consist of an abstract of approximately 150 words and up to five key words.

4.    You should begin the first page of the manuscript with the manuscript's title. DO NOT use the term "Introduction" or any other term at the beginning of the manuscript. Simply begin your discussion.

5.    Use uniform margins of 1.5 inches at the top, bottom, right and left of every page. Do not justify lines; leave the right margins uneven. Do not hyphenate words at the end of a line; let a line run short or long rather than break a word. Type no more than 25 lines of text per page.

6.    Double-space all lines of text, including titles, headings and quotations.

7.    Place each figure, table and chart on a separate page at the end of the manuscript. Include a marker in the body of the paper to show approximately, where in the final manuscript each figure, table or chart will appear.

8.    After you have arranged the manuscript pages in correct order, number them consecutively, beginning with the title page. Number all pages. Place the number in the upper right-hand corner using Arabic numerals. Identify each manuscript page by typing an abbreviated title (header) above the page number.

9.    Format all citations within your text with the author(s) name and the year of publication. An appropriate citation is Catanach (2004) or Catanach and Feldmann (2005), or Catanach el a1. (2006) when there are three or more authors. You do not need to cite six or seven references at once, particularly when most recent references cite earlier works. Please try to limit yourself to two or three citations at a time, preferably the most recent ones. Use APA 6.

10.    You should place page numbers for quotations along with the date of the material being cited.  For example: According to Beaver (1987, 4), “Our knowledge of education research …and its potential limitations for accounting ...”

11.    List at the end of the paper the full bibliographic information (e.g., author, year, title, journal, volume, issue and page numbers) for all references cited in the body of the paper. List references in alphabetical order by the first author’s last name. 

12.    Center, capitalize each word and bold main headings; capitalize the first letter in each word, italicize and bold and center sub-headings; capitalize the first word, italicize and center the next level headings; capitalize the first word, italicize and left justify next level headings. 

Authors may contact the editor, Thomas G. Calderon at aiae.uakron.edu, for further guidance. Members of the editorial review board, listed below, may also be contacted for information about the submission and review process.
