Research classified under Academia are concentrated on extending the current literature through addressing research gaps and suggesting implications for future research (Leoni and Florio, ; Siboni et al ., ). A few articles extended methodology or theory (Coad et al ., ; Abrahamsson et al ., ), or suggested how future accounting research may benefit from alternative research methods (Turner and Coote, ).…”

This study examines recent accounting research published in 10 journals led by New Zealand and Australia based Qualitative Research in Accounting and Management. The paper identifies the most cited recent articles (2015)(2016)(2017), and the most prolific authors, universities and geographical regions. It then reveals trends in research areas and relevance of recent accounting articles. The paper discusses the importance of the Australian Business Deans Council journal quality list in facilitating novel and relevant research, and recommends the integration of citation metrics into its ratings methodology.

“…Like in India, women are discriminated against in the workplace based on social class, gender, religion, and ethnicity, but Indian women are influenced by feminist movements (Haq, 2013). Siboni, Sangiorgi, Farneti, and de Villiers (2016) proposed that future research should focus on organizational type and occupational segregation, which are potential ways to remove career barriers and negative experiences for women at accounting workplaces, transitions of accounting information, and perceptions of gender in accounting firms.…”

This paper examines the effects of organizational culture, society, and masculinity on women's skills in accounting workplaces and the influences of workplace norms, culture, and organizational structure on women's leadership qualities and behaviours towards their work. Based on previous studies, we link the theory with professional skill and career advancement of women. We argue that a gender imbalance has prevailed for centuries affecting women's careers; and, the transformation of accounting technologies, corporate structures, and the amalgamation of cultures have exacerbated gender inequality. Women's lack of self-motivation and men's dominance in accounting contexts keep women subordinate to men in accounting workplaces. We propose that offering courses on gender issues to business and accounting disciplines taught at university would subsequently shift the paradigm of hegemony and subordination in an accounting workplace.

Background: This study analyses the accounting research articles published by South African journals.Aim and setting: A review of accounting research in internationalising journals in the South African region that publish accounting research.Methods: The characteristics of accounting articles were analysed. Five journals were analysed, including the four internationalising journals, Investment Analysts Journal, Meditari Accountancy Research, South African Journal of Business Management, and South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences and one local journal, South African Journal of Accounting Research (SAJAR).Results: The findings of this study will be of interest to journal editors, authors who would like their research to make an impact and be cited, as well as university research administrators and government higher education policy-makers.Conclusion: The analyses show that many of the highly cited articles have been published recently, boding well for the citation statistics of these journals in future and indicating some success in their efforts to internationalise. The citations of SAJAR lag behind the citations of the internationalising journals. Each journal publishes articles that cover different subject area(s). Within accounting research, accounting education and social and environmental accounting are popular areas of research, whereas taxation; the public sector; and management accounting are not well represented among published articles during 2015–2016 in these five journals. About half of all accounting articles claim their insights will contribute to the accounting literature, with much smaller percentages claiming to contribute to management, policy-making and practice. The most prolific authors and most prominent universities to some extent follow the most popular subject areas, with a social and environmental researcher, Warren Maroun, featuring strongly, and his university, the University of the Witwatersrand, being prominent. Large proportions of authors of 2015–2016 articles are from outside of Africa, speaking to the success of the internationalisation efforts of the internationalising journals, whereas SAJAR mostly publishes articles by African authors.
