“…The trade-off adopted in this study was to utilize the same timeframe as Marriott et al (2014) and gather citations for the six years from 2006-2011 to papers published in the six accounting education journals during the first year of their study: 2005. 4 Google Advanced Scholar was selected as the source for the citations used, with duplicate versions of papers combined and all self-citations eliminated, because it, "is likely to provide a more comprehensive source for citation-based journal rankings for the accounting discipline" (Rosenstreich & Wooliscroft, 2009, p. 233) and because it includes details of citations to articles in all six of the specialist accounting education journals.…”

“…Much of the impact of this work will, therefore, never be reported in publicly available outlets. Good education scholarship has value in its use and implementation, which makes the devaluation of teaching cases and classroom resources in some surveys of work in this area (as reported by Marriott et al, 2014) mystifying at the very least, and misguided at best.…”

“…A further issue highlighted in Marriott et al (2014) relates to the difference in treatment by journals of classroom material papers, such as teaching cases and teaching notes, as compared to research papers. For many years, the former appeared to being treated as 'second class' citizens in this field, something that was done, and published, but not of primary interest to researchers.…”

“…What guidance do the results of this analysis provide for accounting education journal editors? Marriott et al (2014) presented an analysis of publications in the six principal accounting education journals. 3 The purpose of that paper was to provide insight and direction for future accounting education research, identify key areas of interest, note those where less activity had occurred and, overall, to formulate a map of the nature and characteristics of research in this field worldwide.…”

This paper presents an exploratory study into the nature and patterns of usage of accounting education research. The study adopts the most accessible metric, Google Advanced Scholar citations to analyse the impact of research published in the six principle English language accounting education journals. The analysis reveals a global readership for these journals but evidence of relatively low citation levels. However, papers tended to be cited more than expected in cross-disciplinary education journals, discipline-specific education journals, and non-education journals. Guidance is offered to authors seeking to maximise the impact of their research and issues of concern are identified for editors and publishers. This is the first paper to look beyond content at the usefulness of research in accounting education as indicated by citations. In doing so, it contributes to the current debate on the quality of this research, and of research in accounting and finance in general.

“…They can, however, publish in one specialist accounting education journal: the 'A'-ranked Issues in Accounting Education. In the UK journal ranking list, no accounting education journal is ranked highly enough to be considered an acceptable outlet in many universities, so publication of accounting education research must be targeted at mainstream education journals (that do not accept discipline-specific research -see Sangster, 2011) or generalist journals (that do not typically publish education papers -see Marriott et al, 2014). Collaboration between UK and Australasian researchers in this field is impossible unless at least some of the research team are willing to put in the effort for no reward.…”

Nowhere is the impact positive. It ranges from slight constraints on academic freedom to admonition, censure, reduced research allowances, non-promotion, non-short-listing for jobs, increased teaching loads, and redesignation as a non-researcher, all because the chosen research specialism of someone who was vocationally motivated to become a teacher of accounting is, ironically, accounting education. University managers believe that these journal ranking lists show that accounting faculty publish top quality research on accounting regulation, financial markets, business finance, auditing, international accounting, management accounting, taxation, accounting in society, and more, but not on what they do in their 'day job' -teaching accounting. These same managers also believe that the journal ranking lists indicate that accounting faculty do not publish top quality research in accounting history and accounting systems. And they also believe that journal ranking lists show that accounting faculty write top quality research in education, history, and systems, but only if they publish it in specialist journals that do not have the word 'accounting' in their title, or in mainstream journals that do. Tarring everyone with the same brush because of the journal in which they publish is inequitable. We would not allow it in other ...
