Preprint

This section presents the manuscripts that, after evaluation through the double-blind peer review system, have been formally accepted for publication in the Accounting & Finance Review (A&FR).

The texts are previously available via SciELO Preprints and have already been approved by A&FR editors and reviewers. They are currently undergoing the following stages:
- Grammar review and APA formatting;
- Translation; or
- Layout and XML production.

A&FR adopts an early disclosure policy to ensure that relevant research reaches the academic community ahead of the formal issue closing cycles.

Important Information:
1. Although approved, articles should be cited as "In press" or "Forthcoming" until the final volume and pagination are assigned.
2. Once the editing process is complete, the provisional file will be replaced by the final version (Version of Record) and moved to the current issue of the journal.
