Description:
This paper provides an insight into the nature and the extent of social accounting research being undertaken within Australasia. It demonstrates that Australasian researchers account for a significant amount of internationally published social accounting research, but emphasises that the research effort seems to be confined to a limited number of researchers perhaps reflecting a lack of 'take-up' in this area in terms of the scale of participation. Information is also presented about the relative propensity of journals within the sample to publish social accounting research, and identifies that 'top tier' accounting journals historically have not published social accounting research. The paper also considers various factors which seem to be impeding the 'recruitment' of new social accounting researchers.
