AJAR maintains a strong interest in research related to Asia and international studies. The journal particularly encourages research that examines the institutional, regulatory, economic, social, or cultural contexts in which accounting and finance phenomena occur, as well as comparative and cross-country studies that contribute to international debates and understanding.
AJAR primarily emphasizes rigorous quantitative research in accounting and finance. The journal particularly welcomes studies employing empirical approaches such as archival research and experimental designs. Mixed-method approaches and other qualitative-oriented studies may also be considered when they provide strong theoretical and practical contributions.
