Social and Environmental Accountability Journal (SEAJ) is the official Journal of The Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research. It is a predominantly refereed Journal committed to the creation of a new academic literature in the broad field of social, environmental and sustainable development accounting, accountability, reporting and auditing. The Journal provides a forum for a wide range of different forms of academic and academic-related communications whose aim is to balance honesty and scholarly rigour with directness, clarity, policy-relevance and novelty. SEAJ welcomes all contributions that fulfil the criteria of the journal, including conceptual papers, empirical papers, essays, manuscripts reporting or proposing engagement, commentaries, polemics, and reviews of articles or books. A key feature of SEAJ is that papers are shorter than the word length typically anticipated in academic journals in the social sciences. A clearer breakdown of the proposed word length for each type of paper in SEAJ can be found here.
" SEAJ is unique in the social and environmental accounting literature. From emerging issues, to policy engagement, to cutting edge ideas, it leads the way...for research and practice engagement in the latest social and environmental developments, SEAJ is the journal."

Peer Review Policy for Research Articles
Social and Environmental Accountability Journal is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality, original research. All submitted manuscripts (conceptual, empirical, essay, reporting or proposing engagement) are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double-anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
Policy for the Reviews of Articles and Books
Article and book reviews published in SEAJ are handled by the Reviews Editors and are not sent out for independent, anonymous peer-review. Authors are invited to review articles or books for the Journal. By their very nature, reviews express a matter of opinion about previously published work. They are intended to provide an overview of the current literature in the field and help foster engagement and debate. In particular instances, should a reviewed author wish to respond to his/her article' s review or book’s review in a constructive and collegial manner, and with the aim of contributing to the academic debate and providing an additional perspective on his/her work, the author(s) may write a short reply. In such circumstances, the author(s) are invited to contact the Reviews Editors prior to writing a response. The ultimate decision to publish a response to a review remains with the Review Editors.
Review Policy for Commentaries and Polemics
All submitted commentaries and polemics are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, will be editorially reviewed.
