Special Issue of the Journal of Accounting Education

The Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum Section of the American Accounting Association is pleased to announce its 2nd Midyear Colloquium to be held in Tampa, Florida at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay, November 16 -18, 2017. We thank KPMG for its generous sponsorship of this meeting.

This Midyear Colloquium will have two special sessions featuring 5-7 education manuscripts. The presentation of the manuscripts will illustrate how the authors developed their paper and why the reviewers evaluated the manuscript as worthy of potential publication. Subject to editorial review and approval, accepted manuscripts will be published in the Journal of Accounting Education(http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-accounting-education).  Special Guest Editors are: Tracy Manly, University of Tulsa and Norbert Tschakert, Salem State University.

We invite: (1) authors to submit complete journal ready accounting education related research papers, case studies, teaching notes, or best practices and (2) reviewers (willing to present their reviews of the chosen manuscripts) to volunteer. Reviewers must be willing to complete initial reviews within 30 days. Authors and reviewers are expected to register for the TLC Midyear Colloquium within two weeks of acceptance.

Submissions will open in April. Submission deadline is June 30, 2017: Submitted papers will be subject to blind peer review by academics. Notice of acceptance for the TLC Midyear Colloquium will be in early August 2017. Acceptance to the conference serves as an initial review for the journal. Authors may choose to revise their manuscripts according to the review comments for potential publication. Successful revisions will be included in a late 2018 or early 2019 Special Issue of the Journal of Accounting Education. All participating reviewers will also be recognized in the special issue.
