car-literature-positioning

separate

Use when positioning a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript within the accounting literature — identifying the conversation it joins, distinguishing it from closely related accounting/finance/economics work, and disclosing overlap with the authors' own related papers as CAR's author declaration requires.

When to use

• Positioning a CAR manuscript within the accounting literature
• Identifying the accounting conversation the paper joins
• Distinguishing the paper from closely related accounting, finance, or economics work
• Disclosing overlap with the authors' own related papers
• Defending the accounting locus of the contribution
• Mapping incumbent conversation and unresolved tension
• Testing whether the manuscript addresses accounting reviewers
• Comparing against neighboring outlets like TAR, JAR, and JAE

When not to use

• Gap-spotting without joining a debate
• Citation dumping without explaining contributions
• Hidden overlap with authors' concurrent papers
