Journals usually have specific style requirements. Therefore, submissions should
adhere to the style guidelines as published on journal web sites or risk an early
rejection. For example, CPA not only publishes an extensive webpage for prospective
authors[4], it also has a PDF publication called the Author Information Pack as a
resource available from a link on the same webpage. Notably, the CPA guidelines even
contain specifications for the article structure, offering a “standardised structure” for
publishable articles. AOS has a similar guideline, but does not offer a standard format
for articles. AOS does offer advice on attributes such as “Abstracts”, “Footnotes”, and
“Referencing”.
But following specific journal guidelines does not guarantee success for two key
reasons. First, because of increasing submissions to top tier journals, the competition
for a limited number of places is fierce, especially as these journals continue to serve a
growing community of global academics (Guthrie and Parker, 2012). As Primack (2009)
outlines, articles may be publishable, but if there is no room for them in the journal, the
article may still be desk rejected and an alternative journal for publication of the article
sought.
