Objectives of the Journal Of
Applied Management Accounting Researched (JAMAR)
The objective of the JOURNAL OF APPLIED MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
RESEARCH (JAMAR) is the publication of substantial and
original contributions to knowledge in the areas of
accounting, broadly defined. Articles should be empirical or
analytical; rigorous, yet preferably intelligible to a wide
audience of academics and, where appropriate, practitioners.
All articles are subjected to a double-blind review process.
Presentation should be as elegant and economical as possible,
avoiding unnecessary words, numbers or symbols. Call for papers
The Journal of Applied Management Accounting Research is an
online journal, allowing quick acceptance and publication of
papers. Papers are accumulated ("on line") in each
issue over a six months period after which the journal will be
printed and published conventionally. This also allows the
author to receive comments and feedback from ICMA members and
other researchers in the applied accounting research areas.
The Editorial Board, at appropriate times, may issue a special
collection around a theme, such as e-Commerce, Competition,
Information Technology, etc. Researchers in this area are
invited to submit papers online to the Editor (Editor@cmawebline.org).
Guide for Authors
General
Papers should be as brief as possible consistent with the
journal's objective (see above). They should be in Microsoft
Word format and double-spaced. Papers should be submitted
online (to the editor). In order to ensure an anonymous
review, authors should not identify themselves directly or
indirectly in the paper (contact and authorship details should
be provided as a separate document, see below). Experience has
shown that papers which have already benefited from critical
comment from colleagues at seminars or at conferences have a
much better chance of acceptance.
Presentation
A cover page attachment should show the title of the paper,
the author's name, title and affiliation, and any
acknowledgements. The title of the paper, but not the author's
name, should appear on the first page of the text. An Abstract
of 150-250 words should be provided on a separate page
immediately preceding the text.
Tables and Figures
Each table and figure should bear a number and a title and
should be referred to in the text. Sources should be clearly
stated.
Footnotes
Footnotes should be used only in order to avoid interrupting
the continuity of the text and should not be used to excess.
They should be numbered consecutively throughout the
manuscript with superscript arabic numerals. They should not
be used in book reviews.
References
References should be listed at the end of the paper and
referred to in the text as, for example, (Duval, 1997, p.
124).Wherever appropriate, the reference should include a page
or chapter number. Only works cited in the paper should be
included in the list. Citations to institutional works should
if possible employ acronyms or short titles. If an author's
name is mentioned in the text it need not be repeated in the
citation, e.g. 'Richardson (1996, p. 36) states……’
In the list of references titles of journals should omit an
initial 'The' but should not otherwise be abbreviated. The
entries should be arranged in alphabetical order by surname of
the first author. Multiple works by the same author should be
listed in chronological order of publication. Some examples
are:
Australian Accounting Research Foundation (1985), The
Conceptual Framework.
Perera, D. J. (1996), ‘Accounting for the Mining Industry’,
Journal of Applied Management Accounting Research, Spring.
Beaman, I and Ratnatunga, J. (1998), Financial Modelling,
Quill Press, Melbourne, Australia.
Style and Spelling
Abbreviations should be written as, for example, FASB and not
F.A.S.B. Words such as 'realise' should be spelt with an ‘s’
and not a 'z'. Single quotations marks should be used, not
double.
Mathematical Notation
Mathematical notation should be used only where its rigour and
precision are indispensable, and authors should explain in
narrative form the principal operations performed. Such
notation should be avoided in footnotes. Equations should be
numbered in parentheses, flush with the right-hand margin.
