# Journal of Accounting Research (journal-of-accounting-research)
## Journal positioning
JAR, published out of Chicago Booth, is one of accounting's "big three" and the standard-bearer for economics-based, empirically rigorous accounting research. Its core is archival capital-markets and analytical work judged on the strength of the research design and identification, with a famously high empirical bar. JAR runs an annual conference issue that publishes new, discussant-vetted research. Readership is the economics-oriented 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 JAR / Chicago Booth / Wiley site and the submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names JAR (or the economics-based accounting top tier) as the target venue.
- An archival capital-markets or analytical accounting paper with a clean design and strong identification needs positioning.
- An accounting paper whose strength is its identification strategy needs framing for the highest empirical bar.
- The author needs JAR's desk-reject risks and a credible JAE / TAR / RAST alternative list, or wants to consider the annual conference issue.
