The editors of Accounting and Business Research (ABR), together with the Organizing Committee of FMARC, will select a limited number of papers presented at FMARC 2027 for invitation to the FMARC–ABR Special Track.
Authors invited to the Special Track will have three months following the conference to submit their revised manuscript through the ABR online submission system. After this period, the invitation to submit through the FMARC–ABR Special Track will expire. The journal submission fee will be waived for invited papers.
Before submission, authors will be expected to carefully incorporate the feedback received during the FMARC review process and from the conference discussant. Authors should also submit a separate response document explaining how the FMARC feedback has been addressed.
The feedback generated through FMARC will form part of the journal review process. The ABR editors will use an additional reviewer, instead of the two typically used by ABR.
By building on the substantive feedback already provided through FMARC, the Special Track is designed to facilitate a focused and more expeditious review process for invited papers.
