Journal of Management Accounting Research: Content and Citation Analysis of the First 20 Years

This article provides a content and citation analysis of 186 articles published in the Journal of Management Accounting Research (JMAR) between 1989 and 2008. We first examine JMAR's national and international presence. Then an analysis of JMAR is structured by a taxonomy used by Hesford et al. (2007) to classify the articles into content, source disciplines, research methods, and contributors. Articles and citations in JMAR are analyzed and the most-cited authors, articles, journals, and books are presented. The extent to which JMAR authors are cited in leading nonmanagement accounting journals is also presented. Finally, authorships and editorial contributions by international faculty are compiled and discussed.
