- The intro buries the result; the reader cannot tell the finding by the end of page 2
TAR's audience is accounting researchers, editors, and a minimum of two expert reviewers. The intro should, within the first page or two, state the question, the setting/identification, the finding, and the contribution — do not make the reader wait for the result. Use the standard archival structure (introduction, hypothesis/model development, research design, results, conclusion) and keep terminology precise: "discretionary accruals," "abnormal audit fees," "cash effective tax rate," "cost of equity capital" mean specific things — use them exactly.
tar-submission).Double-blind review means the prose itself must not identify the authors. Write self-citations in the third person ("consistent with prior work (Author 2020)"), not "in our earlier study"; remove acknowledgments, funding, institution names, and data-provider thank-yous from the manuscript body; neutralize tell-tale phrasing that points to a known research group.
