Use when deciding which jar-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

# Journal of Accounting Research Workflow (jar-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you **which jar-* skill to use right now** for your JAR manuscript.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as the **Journal of Accounting Research (JAR)** — one of the "top three" accounting journals, founded in 1963, sponsored by the **Chookaszian Accounting Research Center at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business** and published with Wiley-Blackwell (five issues a year). JAR publishes original research in all areas of accounting drawing on finance, economics, statistics, psychology, and sociology, using analytical, empirical-archival, experimental, and field-study methods. Its defining identity is rigorous **empirical-archival capital-markets** research in the **Ball-Brown** lineage. The non-negotiable bar: a clean **identification** strategy answering a question that matters for how accounting information is produced, disclosed, audited, or used in markets — credible causal inference and an economic story weigh as heavily as a sound regression.

> Governance is by a panel of **Senior Editors** (Berger, Costello, Hail, Nikolaev, Sapra, van Lent, Wittenberg Moerman), not a single editor-in-chief; Editorial Manager Lisa M. Heiberger. Fees, the conference theme, and the masthead change — verify on the Chookaszian Center JAR pages. Three things make JAR distinctive: a **tiered submission fee** ($750/$500/$50), a **mandatory data-and-code sharing policy**, and the **Ray Ball JAR Annual Conference** with its June conference issue. Impact factor (~4.9, 2023) is **approximate**.

## When to trigger

- "What should I do next?" with a half-built JAR manuscript
- You have an archival result but no clean identification or economic story
