    Khan, Serafeim & Yoon (2016) materiality study was published in The Accounting Review, not the Journal of Finance (matches the article's own reference list)

    Before

    Research by George Serafeim and colleagues at Harvard Business School, published in the Journal of Finance (2016), found that companies adopting material sustainability disclosure practices outperformed peers.

    After

    Research by George Serafeim and colleagues at Harvard Business School, published in The Accounting Review (2016), found that companies adopting material sustainability disclosure practices outperformed peers.

    Why: Verified live: the journal name was already corrected to The Accounting Review in both the body text and bibliography (matching Serafeim, Khan & Yoon 2016). The FAQ field was also checked (decoded via base64/json/base64/json) and does not reference this study, so no further FAQ fix was needed. No action required this pass; confirming the existing correct state.
