Since its establishment in 2005, the Journal of Theoretical Accounting Research (JTAR) has maintained a strong commitment to regular and timely publication. For many years, the journal published two issues annually, providing scholars with consistent access to high-quality theoretical research in accounting.

Each issue features carefully selected, peer-reviewed articles that advance accounting theory and explore its connections with economics, finance, corporate governance, ethics, and related fields. Our goal has always been to provide a reliable platform for meaningful academic discussion and innovation.

Starting in 2026, JTAR will publish on a monthly basis (12 issues per year). This transition reflects the journal’s continued growth and increasing engagement from the research community. Moving to a monthly schedule will allow us to publish accepted papers more quickly while maintaining our rigorous peer-review and editorial standards.

In addition to regular issues, JTAR may also publish special issues dedicated to emerging research areas or focused themes under the guidance of guest editors.

By expanding our publication frequency, we aim to strengthen our role as a dynamic forum for theoretical accounting research and to better serve authors, readers, and the broader academic community worldwide.
