Accounting History
Unique attributes
As a major international research journal, Accounting History serves to advance an understanding of the interaction of accounting and its socio-economic and political environments within historical contexts. It promotes the study of accounting as a social practice as well as a technical practice and encourages the identification of the impacts of accounting and accounting change on organisational and social functioning and development. Therefore, the use of an array of theoretical perspectives drawn from relevant disciplines such as sociology, economics and political theory is encouraged in conducting critical and interpretive studies of accounting's past. Papers accepted for publication are subject to double-blind review to ensure academic rigour and robustness and to ensure integrity.
Topics
Papers that are suitable for publication in Accounting History span a wide range of topics and periods, and a variety of methodological approaches, including biography, prosopography, institutional history, public sector accounting history, business history through accounting records, comparative international accounting history, as well as innovative research methods. Such studies may involve commercial and public institutions as well as social institutions of any genre, including the family home, charities and religious institutions. Studies set firmly in the archive, comprising written or oral sources, and that span both time and space are particularly encouraged. Thematic special issues are regularly published in order to encourage innovative and relevant research in underdeveloped fields of enquiry or within emerging or re-emerging topics in contemporary accounting.
Key benefits
The broad scope and strong international focus of Accounting History makes it relevant to the accounting profession internationally, as well as a contributor to informing research, public policy setting and regulation, and to augmenting knowledge in other fields such as business, management, finance and economic history. Appreciated internationally as a leading journal in its field, Accounting History continues to provide historical perspectives on current issues and may inform or guide contemporary and future decision makers on accounting, organisational and social policy and associated regulatory developments.
