DAAJ accepts manuscripts in the field of digital accounting and auditing, including studies that examine accounting and auditing transformation through digital technologies, data analytics, information systems, and emerging financial technologies.
Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published, must not be under review in another journal, and must not be submitted simultaneously to another publication.
Empirical articles should contain the following components:
The title should be concise, informative, and no more than 12 words. The title is written in capital letters, centered, and bold. The title should avoid unnecessary methodological terms such as “analysis,” “effect,” “influence,” “test,” or similar wording unless essential.
Author names, affiliations, and complete mailing addresses are entered only in the OJS metadata during submission. The manuscript file must not include author identities to ensure the blind-review process.
The abstract is written in English and should contain 100–150 words in one paragraph. The abstract should include the purpose of the study, method, main findings, theoretical and practical implications, and novelty. Keywords should consist of 3–6 terms.
The introduction presents the research problem, relevant background, state of the art, research gap, novelty, and research objectives. The introduction should clearly explain the relevance of the research issue to current accounting and auditing challenges in the digital era. The recommended proportion of the introduction is 15–20% of the total article length.
The method section explains the research design, data sources, population and sample if applicable, research instruments, operational definitions, data collection procedures, and analysis techniques. The method must be written clearly to allow replication. The recommended proportion of the method section is 15–20% of the total article length.
Results and discussion contain data analysis that answers the research questions. Tables, graphs, or figures may be used when they support critical and in-depth explanation. The discussion should not merely repeat tables or figures, but should interpret, compare, and explain findings in relation to relevant theories and previous studies. The recommended proportion of results and discussion is 60–75% of the article length.
The conclusion contains the essence of the findings and discussion. It should be written narratively and include the main findings, implications, limitations if relevant, and suggestions for future research. The conclusion should be concise and preferably no more than two paragraphs.
References should contain only cited sources. At least 80% of references should be primary scholarly literature, preferably from credible journals, proceedings, research reports, theses, or dissertations published within the last ten years.
Conceptual papers and literature review articles should contain the following components:
The title should be concise, informative, and no more than 12 words.
The abstract should contain 75–100 words and include the purpose, core argument, and main contribution of the article.
The introduction consists of 4–5 paragraphs presenting the issue, state of the art, theoretical discourse, novelty, and article purpose. The recommended proportion of the introduction is 10–15% of the total article length.
The discussion contains logical, critical, reflective, and scientific arguments on the issue being examined. The author’s position must be supported by strong and relevant academic arguments.
The conclusion presents the essence of the discussion and emphasizes the ideas or contributions proposed by the article.
Citation style within the body text and in the reference list must follow American Psychological Association (APA) 7th Edition.

Every submitted article will undergo a blind-review process by a minimum of two reviewers. The editor may revise spelling, grammar, and language clarity without changing the substantive meaning of the manuscript.
Manuscripts must be submitted directly through the DAAJ OJS platform. Authors must ensure that the manuscript file has been anonymized according to blind-review requirements.
After the article meets the structural and formatting standards, the editorial team will conduct similarity screening using plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin, PlagScan, or equivalent tools.
Authors should not conduct similarity checks in a manner that violates journal policy or causes duplication in similarity databases. Manuscripts exceeding the journal’s similarity threshold may be returned for revision or rejected.
DAAJ recommends a maximum similarity threshold of 20%, excluding references, quoted text, and standard methodological phrases, subject to editorial judgment.
Acknowledgements to sponsors, funding bodies, institutions, or peer discussions should be placed in the acknowledgement section when applicable.
Articles resulting from studies conducted in particular research sites, institutions, organizations, or involving human participants, informants, confidential data, or sensitive information should include an ethical clearance statement or confirmation that the institution or informants have approved the research process.
Digital Accounting and Auditing Journal (DAAJ) is published two times a year:
Manuscripts should be submitted at least one month before the intended publication period to allow sufficient time for editorial screening, review, revision, layout, and final production.
