The Australian Accounting Review (AAR) is the pre-eminent, peer-reviewed journal published four times a year on behalf of CPA Australia. AAR is positioned at the intersection of business and academe and features articles by leading practitioners and researchers. It aims to provide in-depth discussion and critical analysis of developments affecting professionals in all areas of finance, accounting and business. Articles published in Australian Accounting Review should be relevant to the journal's primary readership: the Australasian and international academic, professional, business, government and regulatory communities. Review articles on issues relevant to AAR's primary readership are also favourably received. Motivation for articles should be located in current events/problems that affect the business and professional communities, and in the literature. Articles must display a high level of critical analysis, employ an appropriate research approach, provide empirical evidence to support conclusions, and establish the local and international significance of their findings. Replications of international studies that simply apply an accepted methodology to a data set in a different context are not acceptable unless the broad implications of conclusions are articulated, and are of relevance to a wider set of circumstances. Data that purport to be contemporary need to be so. Papers must be scholarly and have the authority of academic rigour yet be accessible to non-academic readers. Papers are subject to a double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality of their underlying research methodology and argument.

Bioorganic Chemistry publishes accounts of research that provide mechanistic insight inspired by Biology. The guiding principle that the Editorial Board will follow in accepting manuscripts for publication is that the research uses the principles and techniques of organic and physical organic chemistry in attempting to solve some problem of relevance to biology or that are directly inspired by some biological observation.Within this context, manuscripts suitable for submission are ones that deal with such topics as enzymology and biocatalysis (including the study of ribozymes and catalytic antibodies), closely-relevant enzyme models, biosynthesis and combinatorial biosynthesis, and biomimetic synthesis. In addition, the theoretical treatment of any of these topics is appropriate, as is the application of biophysical and analytical techniques to advance our understanding of one of these topics. The Journal publishes regular articles, preliminary communications, reviews and mini-reviews.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
