Editorial data
The Journal of Accounting & Economics provides a responsive editorial process by
compensating referees if their report is returned within three weeks. Normally, authors are
notified of the publication decision within seven weeks of our initial receipt of the manuscript.
The following table summarizes the distribution of manuscripts received for the twelve months
ending December 2009. Turnaround time is the number of weeks from our receipt of the
manuscript and submission fee to notifying the author of the publication decision.
