“…This empirical test has been carried out a number of times, and the results favor the hypothesis that editors use their connections to improve the quality of published papers (Laband and Piette 1994;Smith and Dombrowski 1998;Medoff 2003). 12 Note that in the above (qualitative) results, nothing depends on the sizes of the variances r 2 in , r 2 sc , and r 2 rv .…”

“…On the other hand, there is some evidence that connection bias improves the overall quality of accepted papers (Laband and Piette 1994;Medoff 2003;Smith and Dombrowski 1998). Does this mean scientists are misguided in their disapproval?…”

“…Economists have studied models in which editorial decisions play an important role (Ellison 2002;Faria 2005;Besancenot et al 2012), but they have not been concerned with biases the editor may be subject to. Other economists have done empirical work investigating the differences between papers with and without an author-editor connection (Laband and Piette 1994;Medoff 2003;Smith and Dombrowski 1998, more on this later), but they do not provide a model that can explain these differences. This paper thus fills a gap in the literature.…”

Should editors of scientific journals practice triple-anonymous reviewing? I consider two arguments in favor. The first says that insofar as editors' decisions are affected by information they would not have had under tripleanonymous review, an injustice is committed against certain authors. I show that even well-meaning editors would commit this wrong and I endorse this argument. The second argument says that insofar as editors' decisions are affected by information they would not have had under triple-anonymous review, it will negatively affect the quality of published papers. I distinguish between two kinds of biases that an editor might have. I show that one of them has a positive effect on quality and the other a negative one, and that the combined effect could be either positive or negative. Thus I do not endorse the second argument in general. However, I do endorse this argument for certain fields, for which I argue that the positive effect does not apply.

“…Existe un trabajo en el que se muestra que los autores de artículos de auditoría que tienen algún tipo de relación con los editores de las revistas tienen mayor probabilidad de que sus artículos sean citados (Smith & Dombrowski, 1998). Una de las áreas más investigadas en la literatura de auditoría, y que más interesa a los reguladores, son las tarifas que cobran las Big N 4 (Hay & Knechel, 2017).…”

El objetivo de este capítulo es proponer lineamientos para investigaciones contables futuras que les permita a los investigadores colombianos publicar en revistas internacionales indexadas en Scopus. Para esto, se abordaron tres subcampos de la contabilidad: la auditoría, la educación contable y la tributación. En ellos se identificó el estado actual de las discusiones, las preguntas de investigación que continúan abiertas, las características de los trabajos que se publican, los enfoques, los métodos utilizados y las oportunidades para investigaciones realizadas en economías emergentes. Además de proponer estudios en estos tres campos, en este texto se presentan fuentes en las que se pueden encontrar mayores detalles temáticos y metodológicos para cada campo como también posibilidades de publicación.
