# Review of Accounting Studies (review-of-accounting-studies)

## Journal positioning

RAST is a top-tier accounting journal known for rigorous analytical and empirical research, with particular depth in valuation, disclosure, and the information economics of accounting. It is receptive to both well-built analytical models and strong empirical work, and prizes methodological care. Its taste sits close to the economics-based accounting tradition while remaining open across financial-accounting topics. Readership is the research-active financial-accounting and accounting-finance community.

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 RAST / Springer site and the submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names RAST (or the analytical/empirical financial-accounting elite) as the venue.
- A valuation, disclosure, or information-economics accounting paper — analytical or empirical — needs positioning.
- An analytically grounded empirical paper whose strength is methods and modeling needs framing.
- The author needs RAST's desk-reject risks and a credible TAR / JAR / JAE / CAR alternative list.
