Use when setting expectations for how Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) review and decisions work, or when reading a JAR decision letter — the Senior-Editor-panel structure, double-anonymized review, the desk-screen and tiered-fee gate, and the distinctive Ray Ball Conference and Registered Reports tracks. Explains the process; it does not draft the R&R response (jar-rebuttal).

# Understanding the JAR Review Process (jar-review-process)

## When to trigger

- Before submitting, to understand what to expect at JAR specifically
- A decision letter arrived and you need to read it correctly
- You are deciding between the regular track, a Registered Report, or the conference
- You are unsure how the editor-panel structure assigns and decides papers

## How JAR is governed and decides

JAR has **no single editor-in-chief**. It is run by a panel of **Senior Editors** (as of 2026-06-22: Philip G. Berger, Anna Costello, Luzi Hail, Valeri Nikolaev, Haresh Sapra, Laurence van Lent, Regina Wittenberg Moerman; Christian Leuz stepped down June 30, 2025 and Hans B. Christensen joins July 1, 2026 — re-verify the masthead), supported by ~18 Associate Editors and Editorial Manager Lisa M. Heiberger. A submission is assigned to a Senior Editor who, typically with one or more Associate Editors and external referees, runs a **double-anonymized** review of regular manuscripts. The journal is sponsored by the **Chookaszian Accounting Research Center at Chicago Booth** and published with Wiley-Blackwell — a single-center "house" identity rather than a scholarly-society journal.
