The Italian Accounting Review (RIREA PUBLISHER) was founded in Rome in 1901 and it has never stopped publishing in the last 116 years. The most important Professors of Accounting and Accounting history have written for the Journal, such as Fabio Besta (who was also a member of the Review‘s Scientific Committee) and Gino Zappa.
RIREA is a family owned and completely private PUBLISHER, now managed by the fourth generation of the family.
RIREA is awarded by the Italian Presidency of the Council as "Journal with a high cultural value" and is credited by the Italian Academy of Economia Aziendale (AIDEA).
In this long period of time, in addition to publishing articles by the most important Italian Authors, it also gave particular attention to promote the best young writers. Some of them, who have later become important Professors for the Scientific Community of Accounting Studies, have published their first article on the Italian Accounting Review.
Italian Accounting Review is open to international collaborations and submits to double peer-reviewing all the articles of Italian and Foreign Authors who would like to publish on our Journal: it can also examine proposals of scientific collaboration with experts of that field.

REVIEW PROCESS
Each paper (both scientific and professional one) is reviewed by the Scientific Director (and in case of professional paper by the Responsible of Professional Area) and, if it is judged suitable for this publication, it is then sent to at least two independent referees for double blind peer review.
The review process is based on the following principles of conduct:
- anonymity of authors and reviewers;
- reviewers expertise in the specific field of the paper submitted;
- necessary agreement of the judgment of at least two reviewers;
- timely review process;
- rigorous evaluation of the quality of the research products (according to the criteria outlined
above);
- peer review;
- uniformity of judgment (through a detailed specification of the criteria and the evaluation
parameters).
To this aim, the authors are asked to:
- avoid inserting, in the original version of the article and prior to its acceptance, references, direct
and indirect, to themselves, to groups or "schools" to which they are attributable (such References
may be included in the revision phase of the article);
- indicate, during the submission phase, the thematic area (including the above) and the
qualification.
The Scientific Committee annually reviews and updates the database of specialist expertise of each reviewer of the Journal.
The reference grid for the review process is articulated in specific points (illustrated in "Evaluation elements of the review process").
Evaluation elements of the review process
Each paper is preliminarily reviewed by the Scientific Director (assisted by the Scientific Committee) and the Head of the Professional Area (assisted by the Evaluation Committee). If it is judged suitable for publication, according to the following requirements, it is then sent to at least two independent referees for double blind review:
- Relevance of the subject with respect to the aim and scope of the Journal;
- Completeness of the abstract (structured as follows: objective, methodology, results and
originality);
- logic in structuring the paper;
- presence of a good literature review;
- content updates;
- scientific (not merely divulgative or didactic) character of the contribution;
- other elements that do not recommend continuing the referral.
The double blind review process provides scores and analytical comments on 12 specific points:
- originality of the theme discussed in the paper;
- relevance of the contribution to existing knowledge for the evolution of the doctrine (except for the topic has no prevalence or total practical relevance);
- relevance of the contribution to existing knowledge for practice (unless the topic does not
prevalent or total theoretical relevance);
- clarity in the definition of research objectives;
- adequacy in explaining the method/approach used;
- clarity in specifying the limits of the method used;
- coherence between the definition of research objectives and the method/approach used;
- clarity in explaining the results achieved;
- logical coherence between the different parts of the paper;
- completeness of the literature analyzed with respect to the topic investigated;
- adequacy of the specialistic language;
- exhibit clarity.
