THE ACADEMY OF ACCOUNTING HISTORIANS
2006 VANGERMEERSCH MANUSCRIPT
AWARD
In 1988, The Academy of Accounting Historians established an annual
manuscript award to encourage academic scholars new to the field to pursue
historical research. An historical manuscript on any aspect of the field of
accounting, broadly defined, is appropriate for submission.
ELIGIBILITY AND GUIDELINES
FOR SUBMISSIONS
Any accounting faculty member, who holds a full-time appointment and
who received his/her masters/doctorate within seven years previous to the
date of submission, is eligible to be considered for this award. Coauthored
manuscripts will be considered (if at least one coauthor received his/her
master/doctorate within the last seven years). Manuscripts must conform to
the style requirements of the Accounting Historians Journal. Previously
published manuscripts or manuscripts under review are not eligible for con-sideration.
Each manuscript should be submitted by June 16, 2006 in a Word file as an
e-mail attachment to the chair of the Vangermeersch Manuscript Award
Committee, Professor John Richard Edwards (edwardsjr@cardiff.ac.uk).
A cover letter, indicating the author’s mailing address, date masters/
doctoral degree awarded, and a statement that the manuscript has not been
published or is not currently being considered for publication should be in-cluded
in the submission packet.
REVIEW PROCESS AND AWARD
In addition to the chair, the Vangermeersch Manuscript Award Committee
includes:
Richard Fleischman
Marc Nikitin
David Oldroyd
The committee will evaluate submitted manuscripts on a blind-review basis
and select one recipient each year. The author will receive a $1,000 (U.S.)
stipend and a plaque to recognize his/her outstanding achievement in his-torical
research. In the case of coauthored manuscripts, only the junior fac-ulty
member(s) will receive prizes. The winning manuscript will be pub-lished
in the Accounting Historians Journal after an appropriate review.
The award will be given annually unless the Manuscript Award Committee
determines that no submission warrants recognition as an outstanding
manuscript.
