2. INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS
Issues In Social and Environmental Accounting (Issues in SEA) is an international journal pub-
lished biannually in July and December. Issues in SEA is networking and dissemination means
of practices and theory of social and environmental accounting by people concerned with that
field. In the journal, prospective authors can view the company's social and environmental
performance from management or financial accounting perspective. The parties involved in this
journal are scholars from so many countries, including: Indonesia, USA, Canada, UK, Mexico,
Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Ireland, Korea, Jordan, Mexico, Hong Kong, China, Austria,
Malaysia, Japan, and India.
Problems of social and environmental in general and in accounting context in specific are not
only local problem, but they have also embraced all over the world. It is necessary for us to
share and cooperate to make better the corporate financial, social and environmental perform-
ance reflecting the three Ps: profit, people, and Planet. We highly hope you, as one of people

Issues in SEA is a peer-reviewed or refereed journal. All articles submitted by potential con-
tributors from all over the world to the Centre (Indonesian Centre for Social and Environmental
Accounting Research and Development (ICSEARD)) are administered by editors. They are
then evaluated using the blind review method. From the result of peer-reviewing process the
articles could be categorised as accepted for publication, accepted with revision, or rejected for
publication. The Centre then produces the refereed articles by editorial boards and approved by
editors advisors in form of the internationally accepted journal.
