Why Do Uk Accounting and Finance Academics Not Publish in Top Us Journals?

Les publications françaises en comptabilité et contrôle de gestion sur la période 1994-2003 : un état des lieux

“…Il est intéressant de noter que plusieurs études (par exemple, Doyle et Arthurs, 1995 ;Brinn et al, 2001), effectuées au Royaume-Uni, mettent en évidence que les chercheurs britanniques publient également très peu d'articles dans les revues « prestigieuses » (classées alpha) -généralement américaines -, en Business and Management, alors que les chercheurs britanniques ne souffrent pas du handicap de la langue. L'hypothèse d'un biais favorable aux chercheurs américains, appartenant à certains réseaux et publiant des résultats obtenus sur données américaines, ne peut donc pas être écartée (Jones et al, 1996a(Jones et al, et 1996b de la diffusion des articles.…”

Quality in the process of scientific production in accounting in Brazil

“…Another example involves a survey of UK accounting and finance academics that analyzes why those academics do not publish in top American journals (Brinn, Jones, & Pendlebury, 2001). That study analyzes respondents' perceptions to present a set of reasons for this failure to publish in such journals, including methodological and research-quality problems.…”

“…Finally, a set of studies explores citation analysis (Brown & Gardner, 1985;Dunbar & Weber, 2014); and perceptions of accounting journals quality, also called peer reviews (Ballas & Theoharakis, 2003;Brinn et al, 2001;Brown & Huefner, 1994;Lowe & Locke, 2005;Lowensohn & Samelson, 2006;Taylor, 2011). Such studies, though not specifically focused on the quality attributes of good research, explore quality criteria and their relationship with productivity and quality evaluation of what is published in scientific journals in the area.…”

“…For example, surveys are used to judge quality in fields such as the humanities (Hug, Ochsner, & Daniel, 2013) and accounting (Brinn et al, 2001;Lowe & Locke, 2005;Lowensohn & Samelson, 2006;Northcott & Linacre, 2010). Another method is to judge the quality of evidence using surveys as the technique for the studies' data collection (Van der Stede, Young, & Chen, 2005).…”

“…This resource reveals important evidence about the average performance of business scholars, such as the number of contributions, citations, and the h-index is much higher when performances are assessed using Web of Science (Amara & Landry, 2012), so, it can be considered useful to identify the best sources. The focus of the selected set of studies covers citation analysis (Aragão et al, 2014;Brown & Gardner, 1985;Dunbar & Weber, 2014); perceptions of the quality of accounting journals, also called peer reviews (Ballas & Theoharakis, 2003;Brinn et al, 2001;Brown & Huefner, 1994;Lowe & Locke, 2005;Lowensohn & Samelson, 2006;Taylor, 2011); productivity and quality in university business departments Doyle & Arthurs, 1995;M.J. Jones et al, 1996;Martins & Lucena, 2014); quality criteria, such as validity (Libby et al, 2002); rigor (Evans et al, 2015;Williams, 2014); relevance (Reiter & Williams, 2002); impact (Carmona, 2006); and integrity (Andrade, 2011;Antunes et al, 2011); and research practices and features (Martins & Lucena, 2014;Mendonça Neto et al, 2009;Miranda et al, 2011;Taylor, 2011;Theóphilo & Iudícibus, 2005).…”
