Abstract

This study utilizes bibliometric analysis to examine the research published by the Journal of International Accounting Research (JIAR). JIAR was established in 2002 to disseminate high-quality accounting research that emphasizes international relevance and implications. First, we perform publication and citation analyses to identify the leading articles, authors, institutions, and geographic affiliations. While US-based authors account for most publications, authorship from Asia, Australia, and Europe is expanding. Second, based on thematic structure analyses, we identify nine key research themes among JIAR publications. Although studies relevant to international accounting remain the mainstay of the journal’s publications, other themes like corporate governance, auditing, and corporate social responsibility are growing. Our findings of successful diversification in authorship and topic areas over time attest to the contributions of past and present JIAR editorial teams in strengthening the research in international accounting and promoting accounting research internationally.
