European Accounting Review is classified as 3* (out of 4) in the Association of Business Schools Academic Journal Quality Guide Devoted to the advancement of accounting knowledge, it provides a forum for the publication of high quality accounting research manuscripts. The journal acknowledges its European origins and the distinctive variety of the European accounting research community. Conscious of these origins, The European Accounting Review emphasises openness and flexibility, not only regarding the substantive issues of accounting research, but also with respect to paradigms, methodologies and styles of conducting that research. Though The European Accounting Review is a truly international journal, it also holds a unique position as it is the only accounting journal to provide a European forum for the reporting of accounting research. The advent of e.g. the single European market and the consequent harmonisation of accounting standards and regulations has shown the need for a European forum for accounting research. The European Accounting Review has already become indispensable as such a forum. With an internationally renowned new editorial team and leading contributors, The European Accounting Review is an increasingly important arena for the development of accounting theory and practice. Reviewing Statistics SSCI Inclusion - A note from the Editor: We take this milestone as recognition of our on going effort to position the Journal as one of the leading journals in the accounting field. We also take this opportunity to thank all the people involved in the process who through their tireless efforts and dedication have contributed and will contribute to make The European Accounting Review a high quality academic Journal.

The Journal of Zoology publishes high-quality research papers that are original and are of broad interest. The Editors seek studies that are hypothesis-driven and interdisciplinary in nature. Papers on animal behaviour, ecology, physiology, anatomy, developmental biology, evolution, systematics, genetics and genomics will be considered; research that explores the interface between these disciplines is strongly encouraged. Studies dealing with geographically and/or taxonomically restricted topics should test general hypotheses, describe novel findings or have broad implications. The Journal of Zoology aims to maintain an effective but fair peer-review process that recognises research quality as a combination of the relevance, approach and execution of a research study. The journal also welcomes reviews and forum papers on current issues, particularly where topics of a complex or poorly understood field are synthesized. Prospective authors should submit a 300-word abstract, a list of up to 20 key references, and a cover letter (two pages maximum) outlining what will be discussed in the article. Proposals for reviews should be submitted to journalofzoology@zsl.org. The submission of completed review manuscripts without prior consultation with the Editor is discouraged. The Journal of Zoology is a member of and subscribes to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics. Papers that report experimental work must comply with the standards laid down by British national or equivalent legislation and the research permit number must be stated in the acknowledgments section of your manuscript.
