jar-topic-selection

separate

Use when choosing or sharpening a research question for a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript — testing whether it is a real accounting question with a credible setting, JAR fit, and identification potential before any data work begins. Locks the question; it does not build the mechanism (jar-theory-development) or design the test (jar-methods).

When to use

• Choosing a research question for JAR
• Sharpening a research question for JAR
• Testing JAR fit
• Evaluating identification potential
• Deciding between JAR and other journals
• Deciding between Regular Manuscript and Registered Reports
• Checking Ray Ball JAR Annual Conference eligibility

When not to use

• Building the mechanism
• Designing the test
• Collecting data
• Running panel regressions without identifying variation
