The scope of acceptable articles should embrace any research methodology and any accounting-related subject, as long as the articles meet the standards established for publication in the journal … No special sections should be necessary. The primary, but not exclusive, the audience should be—as it is now—academicians, graduate students, and others interested in accounting research.” The primary criterion for publication in The Accounting Review is the significance of the contribution an article makes to the literature.

The journal is also open to all rigorous research methods.
