I see how it works--you mention JFR 3 times on this site, and they send out an update. From here, pasted below with names initialized:
A Journal of Financial Reporting Update for FARS Members,
These are exciting times at Journal of Financial Reporting! We’d like to share some recent developments and encourage you to let others know about them as well.
First, HF (UCLA) and CW (Colorado) are joining the team of Editors. RB (Cornell) and AJ (Cambridge) are continuing in their roles, while SM is moving on to become AAA Vice President of Research & Publications.
We are also making several changes that reflect our transition from a start-up journal to an established one. We will soon be bringing in many new editorial board members who are committed to doing the hard work of not only reviewing manuscripts, but of scouting for promising opportunities. We’ve revised our mission and strategy to reflect our current vision of our original focus: expanding the boundaries of financial reporting research and advancing
editorial practices. You can read more at the JFR home page,

Finally, the website now has two new Calls for Proposals, which join our open-ended invitation for Pre-registered re-examinations (p-rex).
• Improving Financial Reporting invites proposals for work that will inform the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s agenda and standard setting activities, as well as contribute to the financial reporting literature. The May 2020 submission deadline is preceded by three conference sessions on November 4 and 12, 2021 and January 27, 2022, in which FASB Board and Staff members will discuss their agenda and insights from the comment letters they’ve received, while leading researchers will talk about the opportunities and challenges of standard setting research.
• Insights & Observations is an open-ended invitation for proposals that offer important insights and observations regarding financial reporting issues, but don’t meet the typical definition of “original research”. Possibilities include but are not limited to literature reviews; ‘thought pieces’ that reinterpret past research findings or suggest directions for new work; empirical analyses that describe interesting patterns or phenomena; reexaminations of previously published work; historical analyses; and scholarly evaluations of financial reporting practices or policies.
We’ve received some very promising submissions for our March 2022 “Settings” conference, to follow up on our well-received “Methods” conference from last Spring. Look for more conference announcements in the near future. And please consider submitting a paper or proposal of your own!
