car-review-process

Use when you need to understand how Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) evaluates a manuscript — the double-anonymous, two-reviewer process, the role of the subject Editor and the EIC who approves all acceptances, generative-AI rules for reviewers, and CAR's formal appeals process. Explains the process; it does not draft the revision response (car-rebuttal).

# Review Process (car-review-process)

## When to trigger

- Before submitting, to calibrate expectations for CAR's process and timeline
- A decision letter arrived and you need to read its signals before responding
- You are unsure who decides at CAR (reviewers vs. subject Editor vs. EIC)
- You are weighing whether to appeal a rejection

## How CAR review works

- **Double-anonymous (double-blind) peer review.** The manuscript file is blind (no author-identifying information), with a separate title page. *(The "double-anonymous" label is inferred from CAR's documented blind-manuscript and reviewer-anonymity requirements; 待核实 for the exact CAR phrasing.)*
- **Two reviewers.** The Editor normally assigns **two reviewers**, who provide reports and recommendations.
- **Who decides.** The assigned **subject Editor** (one of ~24 handling editors) makes the disposition decision; the **Editor-in-Chief (Anup Srivastava) reviews and approves all acceptance decisions.** Deputy EICs (Demers, Edwards, Stolowy) and Consulting Editors support the team.
