# Accounting, Organizations and Society (accounting-organizations-and-society)

## Journal positioning

AOS is the leading outlet for interpretive, critical, and behavioral accounting research — accounting studied in its social, organizational, and institutional context rather than as a purely technical or capital-markets phenomenon. It privileges theoretically rich, often qualitative and historical work, alongside behavioral and field studies, that asks what accounting does to and within organizations and society. Its taste is distinct from the economics-based accounting "big three." Readership is the interdisciplinary, theory-oriented accounting community worldwide.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the AOS / Elsevier site and the submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names AOS (or the interpretive/critical/behavioral accounting tradition) as the venue.
- A qualitative, historical, field-based, or behavioral paper on accounting-in-context needs positioning.
- An accounting paper drawing on sociology, organization theory, or critical theory needs framing for a theory-rich audience.
- The author needs AOS's desk-reject risks and a credible CAR / TAR alternative list (and a clear contrast with the economics-based venues).
