ABSTRACT This article provides a descriptive content analysis and citation analysis for the Journal of Management Accounting Research (JMAR) between 1989 and 2013. Adopting the Shields (1997) taxonomy of managerial accounting research, we categorize articles published in JMAR by research method, topic, and underlying discipline (theory) and present information on changes in content over time to identify potential trends. We also collect citations to articles in JMAR and use citation metrics to identify which research methods, topics, underlying disciplines, and specific articles have contributed the most toward establishing JMAR as a premier accounting journal. Finally, we interpret content trends in conjunction with citation results to provide insights for the future of JMAR. Most notably, we report that research methods such as Survey, Literature Review, and Field Study are decreasing in prevalence in JMAR over time, yet these are the research methods that have the greatest impact based on citations collected.

ABSTRACT: 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 non-management accounting journals is also presented. Finally, authorships and editorial contributions by international faculty are compiled and discussed.

ABSTRACT: I argue that the time has come for management accounting researchers to again consider the orientation of our research. Over the past several decades, the focus of research in management accounting has evolved. Initially, research was heavily influenced by the needs of practice. After the Ford Foundation's initiative to professionalize business education, research became more and more theoretical and inward-facing. At a time when practice is in need of assistance, our current focus has led to research that is primarily intended to enhance current models rather than assist in solving the problems of practice. After arguing that there is a need for a change, I offer several examples of new research areas where management accounting research could assist practice.

Wetenschappers in de bedrijfseconomie hebben in dit blad, 75 jaargangen lang, hun researchresultaten gepubliceerd. Met de internationalisering van het onderzoek is ook voor in Nederland werkende onderzoekers de noodzaak toegenomen om in internationale tijdschriften te publiceren. Het aanbod van artikelen over recente onderzoeksresultaten is bij het MAB mede daardoor gedurende de laatste jaren sterk afgenomen. Dat is jammer voor de lezers van dit blad.
