About the journal
Aims and Scope
Since 1965 Abacus has consistently provided a vehicle for the expression of independent and critical thought on matters of current academic and professional interest in accounting, finance and business. The journal reports current research; critically evaluates current developments in theory and practice; analyses the effects of the regulatory framework of accounting, finance and business; and explores alternatives to, and explanations of, past and current practices.

4. Place name of author in BLOCK capitals above title of the article. give author's present position at the foot of the first page.
5. Use footnotes sparingly. Place them at the end of the manuscript, double spaced with an extra line between entries. Number footnotes consecutively throughout the text; use superior numbers without point, thus: '?money'.?Place footnote reference numbers in text outside comma or full stop.
6. Cite books and articles in the text thus:... (Jones, 1962, p. 21). When citations are grouped within a set of parentheses, give them in chronological rather than alphabetical order. Co-authored publications with three or more authors should be cited by first author and 'et al.'.
For page reference numbers use p. 21, pp. 423-32, pp. 406-571, but pp. 11-13, pp. 115-119.
7. In References section, list books and articles cited by author in alphabetical order at the end of the manuscript. When listing books and articles use the following forms:
Jones, A., Depreciation of Assets, Publisher & Co., 1962.
Morrissey, L., 'Intangible Costs', in Morton Backer (ed.), Modern Accounting Theory, Prentice-Hall, 1966.
Easton, P. D., 'PE Ratios, PEG Ratios, and Estimating the Implied Expected Rate of Return on Equity Capital', The Accounting Review, Vol. 79, No. 1, 2004.
Shand, D., 'Public Sector Accounting Standards - Progress on Implementation in Australia', Accounting Research Journal, Spring 1989.
Do not use parentheses; use short titles for publishers unless it is essential to tracing.
8. For quotations within the text use only single quotation marks, and double marks for quotes within quotes. Where quotations exceed four lines inset quoted material three spaces, but do not use quotation marks.
9. Do not use a point in standard abbreviations such as CPA, SEC but use points in national and personal initials - U.K., U.S.A., R. J. Chambers., G. W. Dean. Date style e.g. 19 February 1966.
10. Use 'z' for such words as capitalize; 's' for the smaller number of words such as advise, analyse, comprise, enterprise (see Oxford English Dictionary).
11. Use the simplest possible form for mathematical symbols.
12. Keep tables to a minimum, but do not try to convey too much information, at the cost of simplicity, in any one table.
13. Author Services enables authors to track their article, once it has been accepted, through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated emails at key stages of production so they do not need to contact the production editor to check on progress.
