Commentary on Endenich and Trapp’s article: Openness and signaling in accounting research

Author

  • Hermanson, Dana R.

Abstract

This commentary develops some perspectives about openness and signaling in accounting research and offers thoughts about Endenich and Trapp’s analysis and findings. I discuss the typical thought process that my coauthors and I often use when considering target journals for our work. I also comment on Endenich and Trapp’s scope, key insights, conceptual model, and analysis. I believe that Endenich and Trapp’s analysis provides important insights about the accounting research domain, and I hope that my comments will encourage additional discussion.
