Submission fee at each round=750. 450 goes to referee. Good business. Dissertations from Rochester, MIT, Stanford get in with 95% unless you pissed of somebody.
You are either clueless, or (less likely, bro) 99% of graduates from these same programs pissed off somebody.
Lol. I can think of two potential explanations:
1. Accountants are too narrowly focused and can't public in non-accounting journals.
2. Accountants are retards and can't publish in non-accounting journals (alternatively, they are retards and retards put a lot of weight on simple signals of quality, like being at a top school...)
I think the issue is that most, but not all, of the issues in accounting are particularly boring, and the quality of scholarship is a notch below finance or economics. Still, our highly rated acct dept counts five (!!) journals as A journals, including two most people outside of accounting have never heard of (CAR and RAS). I can't think of a single important paper that either of these journals has ever published.
Do good work and it will get published, it isn't any harder in accounting than in other fields.
Fenance bro here.
Weren't several Ohlson's papers related to residual income valuation models published in CAR? (that is the only paper I know from CAR, though)

Those papers are basically the only publications that drive CAR close to being A- material. Exclude those and CAR articles have very few citations.
They also had s**t load of other stuff and it is those stuff that made them nobel-worthy. Go work with your club connections. Everyone knows accountants work on crappy ideas and they publish crappy research.
^ You'd prob be surprised to learn 3 nobel winners in econ have articles on accounting topics IN accounting journals
Trivia can you guess the three?

Probably buy lots of crappy things with their much larger paychecks though, right? Enjoy the Toyota Camry econ bro.
I have to say as a finance AP I have had more pubs and R&R's at top 3 accounting than in finance. Maybe this is because what I do is in the intersection of finance and accounting. Maybe accounting journals are more open to finance researchers. I don't know which one it is.
I think there are good articles in the top 5 accounting journals that are very interesting to read from a finance person's perspective. But about 50% of the articles require too much institutional knowledge and peculiarities of accounting to be interesting. Nevertheless I don't think lowly of top accounting journals
