Since its inception in 2015, the Journal of Theoretical Accounting Research (JTAR) has maintained a consistent quarterly publication schedule, releasing two issues per year. This regularity reflects the journal’s commitment to timely dissemination of high-quality theoretical research in accounting.

JTAR publishes issues June and December, ensuring that authors and readers alike benefit from predictable, year-round access to new scholarship. Each issue features a curated selection of peer-reviewed articles that contribute to the advancement of accounting theory and its intersections with economics, finance, governance, ethics, and related disciplines.

In addition to its regular issues, the journal may occasionally publish special issues on emerging topics, landmark theoretical developments, or thematic collections in collaboration with guest editors. These special editions aim to deepen scholarly engagement with timely subjects that shape the evolving landscape of accounting research.

Our publication frequency supports our goal of maintaining a dynamic platform for academic exchange, allowing researchers to stay informed of the latest debates, conceptual advancements, and methodological innovations in the field.

JTAR’s quarterly rhythm also facilitates efficient editorial workflows, upholds publication standards, and strengthens our global presence in the academic community.
