Individual skill
tar-writing-style
Use when polishing the prose of a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — front-loading the result, writing for an accounting audience, enforcing Chicago Manual of Style house conventions, the 150-word abstract, and full author anonymization for double-blind review. Polishes prose and style; it does not fix a thin contribution (tar-contribution-framing) or run the submission preflight (tar-submission).

# Writing Style & House Conventions (tar-writing-style)
## When to trigger
- The intro buries the result; the reader cannot tell the finding by the end of page 2
- The prose is passive, jargon-laden, or written for a generic business audience
- References are in APA or a reference-manager default rather than Chicago
- The abstract exceeds 150 words or the manuscript leaks author identity
- A reviewer says "hard to follow," "what did you find?", or flags style issues
## Write for the accounting reader, result first
TAR's audience is accounting researchers, editors, and a minimum of two expert reviewers. The intro
should, within the first page or two, state **the question, the setting/identification, the finding,
