AHJ embraces all subject matter related to accounting history, including but not limited to research that provides an historical perspective on contemporary accounting issues. Authors may find the following guidelines helpful. 1. Authors should provide a clear specification of the research issue or problem addressed and the motivation for the study. 2. Authors should describe the method employed in the re- search, indicating the extent and manner in which they intend to employ the methodology. Manuscripts are encouraged that draw on a variety of conceptual frameworks and techniques, including those used in other social sciences. 3. Manuscripts that rely on primary sources should contain a statement specifying the original materials or data collected or analyzed and the rationale used in selection of those source materials. Authors should provide the reader information as to how these source materials may be accessed. 4. Authors who use a critical or new theoretical framework to examine prior historical interpretations of the development of accounting thought or practice should include a discussion of the rationale for use of that framework in the manuscript. 5. In performing all analyses, authors should be sensitive to and take adequate account of the social, political, and eco- nomic contexts of the time period examined and of other en- vironmental factors. 6. While historians have long debated the ability to assign causation to particular factors, we encourage authors to ad- dress and evaluate the probable influences related to the prob- lem or issue examined. 7. Authors should clearly state all their interpretations of re- sults, and the conclusions they draw should be consistent with the original objectives of and data used in the study. Interpreta- tions and conclusions should be clearly linked to the research problem. Authors also should state the implications of the study for future research.
