CALL FOR PAPERS
The 2027 JBFA Conference will once again be held overlooking picturesque Lake Windermere in the English Lake District. We are grateful to the International Centre for Research in Accounting at Lancaster University and Wiley Publishers for their sponsorship of this annual event.
JBFA publishes papers in the areas of financial and non-financial reporting and performance measurement, corporate finance and accounting-based asset pricing, corporate governance, and their interfaces. We invite submissions of high-quality research papers addressing topical research questions in any of these areas.
Submissions of papers employing novel research methods or data will be particularly welcomed. Preference will be given to submissions that take an international perspective or exploit international institutional differences. We are open to theoretical papers that have clear predictions motivating new empirical tests and/or explanations of existing empirical regularities. We are also interested in comprehensive critiques and reviews of international research literatures within our areas of interest.
Original papers should be submitted no later than December 10, 2026. Conference submissions will be treated as submissions to JBFA. Papers will be reviewed and decisions on accepted papers will be conveyed to authors before the end of March 2027. Subject to satisfactory revision, papers accepted for the Conference will be published in JBFA and in a Virtual Special Issue.
Papers should be submitted online following the guidance at the following link: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/14685957/homepage/forauthors.html. Please check the Special Issue (2027 Conference) option and indicate your paper is a Conference submission in your covering letter.
Conference attendance is by invitation only. The Conference will start in the evening of May 17, 2027, with an Early Bird reception and end at lunchtime on May 19, 2027. There is no registration fee. JBFA will cover the costs of lunches and dinner for all participants and accommodation costs for presenting authors. Detailed arrangements will be provided when invitations are sent out in early April 2027, as soon as the conference programme has been finalised.
