Abstract:
In the realm of accounting and finance, publishing research stands as a pivotal yet challenging endeavor. Scholars face numerous hurdles, including the need to navigate complex and evolving regulatory landscapes, integrate interdisciplinary perspectives, and adhere to stringent journal standards. We explore the multifaceted challenges of publishing in accounting and finance, such as the increasing demand for rigorous empirical evidence, the influence of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain, and the pressure to address contemporary issues like sustainability and corporate governance. By examining current trends and successful strategies employed by researchers, this seminar aims to provide valuable insights for academics and practitioners seeking to contribute meaningfully to the literature.
