"name": "tar-submission",
"description": "Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — the Editorial Manager portal, double-blind anonymization, AI disclosure statement, ORCID and Conflict-of-Interest forms, data-authenticity files, the submission caps, and AAA\/Chicago formatting. Checks readiness to submit; it does not handle the post-decision response (tar-rebuttal)."

Pre-Submission Preflight (tar-submission)
When to trigger
- "We're submitting this week" — the last check before hitting submit on Editorial Manager
- Unsure what TAR requires (anonymized manuscript, AI disclosure, ORCID, COI, code/data)
- Verifying double-blind anonymization is complete in both file and prose
- Confirming you are within the per-author submission cap and the byline cap
Always re-verify current limits, the fee, and required files on the official TAR Editorial Policy, Guide for Authors, and the AAA Manuscript Preparation Guide before submitting — specifics change. As of 2026-06-01 the verified key specs are below; the fee and roster are flagged 待核实.
Verified TAR/AAA specs (confirm current values)
- Submission portal: Editorial Manager at editorialmanager.com/accr.
- Length: initial submissions should not exceed 55 pages, including references, figures, tables, and appendices.
- Format: 12-pt Times New Roman, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, serially numbered pages.
- Abstract: no more than 150 words, beginning the article file.
- AI disclosure statement: required — tools used, extent, and reasons — placed immediately after the abstract and before the body; must be updated on resubmission.
- Style: The Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed.) for citations/references; Webster's Collegiate Dictionary for spelling.
- Review: double-blind — an editor plus a minimum of two reviewers; anonymity of authors and reviewers is a critical goal (among AAA journals, only the Journal of Financial Reporting is single-blind).
- ORCID: required for all authors.
- Conflict of Interest form: completed COI form (each author) at submission.
- Plagiarism screening: applied to all manuscripts.
- Submission caps: an individual author is limited to eight (8) first-round submissions over a rolling 24-month period (R&R papers do not count); no more than 10 authors on the byline.
- Fee (verified 2026-06-22): non-refundable submission fee of $285 AAA members / $680 non-members per the current Guide for Authors, paid via the AAA portal at submission (this is separate from the optional open-access Article Publishing Charge) — re-confirm the current amount before submitting.
- IRB: human-subjects documentation required for experimental/survey work.
- Data authenticity: code/data package per data type (see below) is part of submission.
Pre-submission checklist
Anonymization (double-blind)
- Manuscript file has no author names, affiliations, or acknowledgments
- Self-citations are third-person ("prior research (Author 2020)"), not "our earlier work"
- Acknowledgments, funding, and data-provider thanks are removed from the manuscript body
- File metadata/properties and file names scrubbed of author/institution identity
Format & front matter (AAA Manuscript Preparation Guide)
- Abstract ≤ 150 words begins the article file
- AI disclosure statement placed immediately after the abstract, before the body
- Chicago (16th ed.) citations and reference list; spelling per Webster's
- 12-pt Times New Roman, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, serially numbered pages
- Initial submission ≤ 55 pages including references, tables, figures, appendices
Data authenticity & code access (by data type)
- Public databases: precise data description + processing computer code prepared
- Abstracted public data: abstraction methodology + code prepared
- Privately collected data: sufficient detail / corroborating third parties documented
- Variable-definitions appendix and reproducible sample-selection steps included
Forms, ethics & caps
- ORCID linked for every author
- Conflict of Interest form completed for each author
- IRB/human-subjects documentation ready (experiments/surveys)
- Within the 8 first-round submissions / 24-month per-author cap
- ≤ 10 authors on the byline
- No concurrent submission; prior working-paper/conference versions disclosed
References & consistency
- Every in-text citation appears in the reference list and vice versa
- Hypothesis/prediction labels, variable names, and table/figure numbers consistent throughout
Editorial Manager operation notes
- Create/keep your Editorial Manager account and ORCID current; upload files into the slots the system designates and preview the built PDF before final submission.
- Select the article type and the keywords/area that route the paper to a fitting editor (a single Senior Editor oversees the process, with Lead Editors assigning editors and handling desk rejections; Ad hoc Editors cover specialized topics/methods).
- Pay the submission fee through the AAA portal at submission.
Anti-patterns
- Self-identifying language ("in our 2019 study") left intact, defeating double-blind review.
- AI disclosure missing or placed in the wrong location (it must follow the abstract).
- Reference list in APA or a reference-manager default rather than Chicago (16th ed.).
- No processing code prepared, violating the data-authenticity policy.
- Exceeding 55 pages by forgetting references/tables/figures/appendices count toward it.
- Submitting past the 8-in-24-months cap or with more than 10 authors.
