REVIEW
AMERICAN ACCOUNTING ASSOCIATION
“Introduction”
* Not a literature review. It may cite
things that motivate, but should
never review them.
* Is a statement of the problem, its
background and importance.
“Theory”
٠ To show something new, not to
show you can repeat others.
¢ To derive or motivate your
empirical work
* To clarify your idea in readers’
minds
صفحه 14:
“Data”
٠ Longer if novel; shorter if data are well الب شخ
known face
& Economics
٠ Descriptive statistics—often can make
main point here.
“Results”
٠ The results must be discussed at lengt
* Stress/discuss the original; spend no
time on standard results.
* Results must be linked to theoretical
derivation—and vice-versa

“Conclusions/implications”
۰ NOT just a repeat of what you did. That should
be = 2 paragraphs of a conclusion that is at
least 3 paragraphs.
* Should put in context of literature—what you
have added.
* Should say something about w
go—but should be general; shc
modifications of yours.
* Policy implications ONLY if they
relevant.
& Economics
صفحه 17:
“Abstract”
1. Write this AFTER the paper is drafted.
2. Should NOT be a paragraph from intro
or conclusion
3. Should summarize what you did, both
theoretical (if any), and empirical
(including data used). Should entice the
reader.
4. Stick to any space limitations

English Writing
صفحه 19:
WRITING ENGLISH PROPERLY
¢ Why this matters?
+ Readers’ time is scarce
* Readers infer substantive carelessness from written
carelessness
¢ English is easy at one level, very difficult at
another; and it can be bad at several levels
* Lowest level—so bad that reader cannot infer what you
are doing. Reader infers you do not know either.
+ Next level—repeated subject-verb disagreements,
incorrect pluralization and possessives, etc.
+ Next level
* Left-out articles—a common problem for Asian-
language speakers, Russians.
* Incorrect prepositions.
* Incorrect gerunds and participial phrases
صفحه 20:
SOLVING ENGLISH PROBLEMS
¢ What to do about the writing?
* Get a native English speaker to 10 aaa
you. 9
+ Always read word-for-word before sé “ACCOUNTING
* Have your spouse/friend read it—if F & FINANCE
understand intro/concls, probably ur = ِ
¢ Publicity as an improving devi :
+ Use your PR office z
٠ This helps your University.
* Your Dean loves it.
* Enhances your usefulness to societ'
* Provides a good check on your work—can you explain
it to the press layperson? ©

PUBLISHING STRATEGIES
= 'Shot gun' or 'sniper'? i.e. large
number of papers but lower
quality (easier) journals? 9 —
taking far longer, fewer paper to
carefully target highest ranking
journals?
= Both strategies have
costs/benefits
= Shot gun: benefits - you get the
numbers, a mass of publications
(useful for some promotion
panels/external funders who
don't know about journal
quality!). You start to get your
name known.
صفحه 23:
PUBLISHING STRATEGIES
Benefits: easier journals to get into so often less
work per paper. Some of lowest journals are
desperate for papers! BUT
= Shot gun: costs - you are not hitting the best
journals. Your international peers know this.
Lowest ranked journals can be seen as waste of
time by govt research committees etc.
= Since it is so easy: can feel less rewardifR0 CON
صفحه 24:
PUBLISHING STRATEGIES
= Sniper: benefits - publication
in the most prestigious
journals can open doors for
funding, promotion.
= You are in company of top
international academics in
your field: it shows your
quality.
= Top journals are often more
referred to by peers,
researchers etc since better
circulation internationally ©
صفحه 25:
PUBLISHING STRATEGIES
= Benefits - if the top journals reject your paper you
can use the referees' comments & submit to
lower ranked journal.
= The reverse doesn't work!
= Personally can be very rewarding & hugely
satisfying to publish your work in the best
journals

PUBLISHING STRATEGIES
= Sniper: costs - slow & difficult process (top
journals have extremely high rejection rates) so
papers need to be best you can get them to have
any chance
= Fewer papers produced in same time you could
have turned out more papers for low rank journals

Why?
© Evaluate the scholarly worth of a journal
۶ Rank journals within a discipline
۶ Help you decide where to publish your

Impact factors are listed in fjournal Citation Reports (J/CR)
Thomson Reuters (formerly ISI) has one, huge database,

6 What is the Journal Impact Factor? 5
© How is it calculated? © 1
E.g., the 2009 Impact factor for the journal Ce// =
Number of times ai
2007 & 2008 were
Number of “
les or other items published in Cel/ during
din indexed journals* during 2009
table” articles** publishe
2007 & 2008
“Only references in articles within the ~13,000 journals indexed in Web of
Science are counted; does not include citations that may cite the articles in
Cell from book chapters, proceedings, or other journals that are not indexed
in Web of Science
**Citable articles are just research articles and reviews - not news articles, @
‘commentary, etc.

JOURNAL IMPACT FACTORS:
WHY? WHERE?
For example:
Cites in 2009 to items published in 2008 + 2007 = 9533+
12554 = 22087
Number of items published in Ce// in2008 + 2007 = 343 +
366 = 709
Impact = Cites to recent items .........

CRITICISMS OF JOURNAL IMPACT
FACTORS...
© Only a limited subset of journals is
indexed by ISI
© Biased toward English-language
journals
© Short (two year) snapshot of journal
© Includes self-citations, that is
articles in which the article cites
other papers in the same journal
© Only includes “citable” articles in
the denominator of the equation,
i.e., articles and reviews
© It is expensive to subscribe to the

submission. Often quite

PERSISTENCE IS A VIRTUE

© Revise, but don’t simply resubmit
© Most manuscripts submitted for publication in
refereed journals get rejected at one time or
another before achieving publication

IMPROVING THE ODDS OF
ACCEPTANCE
© Maintain a stock of 5 or 6 papers under review at
all time
© Diversify your research as well as your
publication portfolio
© Balance between quality and quantity of
publications
صفحه 41:
IMPROVING THE ODDS OF
ACCEPTANCE
© If you have 2 good ideas about a topic, develop
them into 2 manuscripts instead of putting them
into one paper
9 The longer a manuscript, the more likely that
referees will either misunderstand it or find
something wrong with your reasoning or
interpretation of results
صفحه 42:
THE RIGHT OUTLET
© Research and select a journal that best fits
your research and intended audience before
submitting a manuscript
© Match your manuscript with the scope of the
target journal and improve on presentation,
which can easily increase your odds of
acceptance by 20%

PEER REVIEW: A TRUST
° Journals provide a forum to:
® communicate new findings
® disseminate new knowledge to a wide audience
© inform public policy
© Peer review ensures scientific quality of
publications by asking other scholars to assess
the value and merit of the research and the
accuracy of its results
