Since its inception in 2005, the Journal of Theoretical Accounting Research (JTAR) has adhered to a consistent biannual publication schedule, releasing two issues each year. This regularity reflects the journal’s commitment to the timely dissemination of high-quality theoretical research in accounting.

JTAR publishes issues in June and December, ensuring that authors and readers benefit from predictable, year-round access to new scholarship. Each issue features a carefully 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 focused on emerging topics, landmark theoretical developments, or thematic collections in collaboration with guest editors. These special editions aim to foster deeper scholarly engagement with timely subjects that shape the evolving landscape of accounting research.

Our biannual publication frequency supports JTAR’s goal of maintaining a dynamic platform for academic exchange, keeping researchers informed about the latest debates, conceptual advancements, and methodological innovations in the field.

This regular rhythm also enables efficient editorial workflows, upholds rigorous publication standards, and reinforces our growing presence within the global academic community.
