- Before submitting, to understand what to expect at JAR specifically
JAR has no single editor-in-chief. It is run by a panel of Senior Editors (Philip G. Berger, Anna Costello, Luzi Hail, Valeri Nikolaev, Haresh Sapra, Laurence van Lent, Regina Wittenberg Moerman), supported by ~18 Associate Editors and Editorial Manager Lisa M. Heiberger. A submission is assigned to a Senior Editor who, typically with one or more Associate Editors and external referees, runs a double-anonymized review of regular manuscripts. The journal is sponsored by the Chookaszian Accounting Research Center at Chicago Booth and published with Wiley-Blackwell — a single-center "house" identity rather than a scholarly-society journal.
Outcomes range from desk reject, to reject after review, to revise-and-resubmit (R&R), to (rarely on a first round) acceptance. Treat an R&R as a serious invitation: identify which referee concerns are first-order (identification, the channel, sample/measurement) versus second-order (exposition, additional robustness). The Senior Editor's letter is the binding guide — it prioritizes among the referees. First-round accepts are essentially unheard of; multiple rounds are normal.
