This annual report describes the operations of The Accounting Review (TAR) during the second year (6/1/2012–5/31/2013) of my three-year term as senior editor with Stacy Hoffman as editorial assistant. The report represents the fifth edition of a new general reporting format adopted by the AAA in 2009 and implemented by former TAR Senior Editor Steve Kachelmeier. Along with summary statistics on TAR operations, I will continue the tradition that Steve started of offering associated commentary that I hope is helpful to our constituents, particularly the AAA Publications Committee and Board of Directors, as well as readers, authors, reviewers, fellow co-editors of TAR, and AAA members. Stacy and I hope that the report gives you an understanding of what we seek to do and how we seek to do it. Your comments and questions are welcome.
The biggest change from our first to second year is that much...
