Many of our accounting journals participate in the Article Transfer Service, designed to help you find the best home for your research. Choosing the right journal can be challenging, and your initial submission may not always be the perfect fit.

If your paper is not accepted, whether before or after peer review, Elsevier’s Article Transfer Service can suggest alternative journals that may be more suitable for your work. You can learn more about how the service works here.
