JBAO invites the submission of papers for publication consideration for the Spring or Fall issues. JBAO publishes both empirical and conceptual research. Articles in JBAO examine emerging trends and concerns in the areas of accounting, finance, economics, business law, marketing management, and data analytics.
Manuscripts: The Journal accepts unsolicited manuscripts. All articles are blind peer-reviewed. The Journal reserves the right to make all decisions regarding the acceptance or rejection of an article for publication. All editing decisions reside with the Journal's editorial board.
Submission: Manuscripts must comply with the Journal's specified format and style and must be submitted in Microsoft Word format to jbao@atu.edu with a letter indicating the appropriate track for your paper. If your paper is accepted, a $200 publication fee will be assessed.
Review: Each manuscript will be evaluated by at least two independent reviewers chosen by the Journal in a blind peer-review process. Submissions may be rejected if deemed inappropriate for the Journal. They may be returned to the author(s) for revision prior to acceptance. Reviewer suggestions should be incorporated into revised manuscripts prior to final publication. The goal of JBAO is to provide feedback to all authors within six weeks of the first submission of a manuscript.
Deadline: The respective submission deadlines for the Fall and Spring issues are September 1st for the December issue and March 1st for the June issue.
