# Contemporary Accounting Research (contemporary-accounting-research)
## Journal positioning
CAR is the journal of the Canadian Academic Accounting Association and a North American elite, broad-scope accounting outlet. It is methodologically pluralistic — archival, experimental, analytical, and field/qualitative work all have a home — and spans financial accounting, auditing, tax, managerial accounting, and governance. Its taste rewards a clear contribution and rigorous design without privileging a single method. Readership is the broad international accounting professoriate.
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 CAAA / Wiley site and the submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names CAR (or the North American broad-scope accounting elite) as the venue.
- An accounting paper using any rigorous method needs positioning for a method-pluralistic top outlet.
- A paper that is strong but slightly narrower or method-distinct from the TAR/JAR/JAE core needs an excellent home.
- The author needs CAR's desk-reject risks and a credible TAR / JAR / JAE / RAST / AOS alternative list.
