A taxonomy of content and citations in the journal of accounting education (1983–1989)

This study reports the results of a citation and content analysis of the 187 main section articles and teaching notes which appeared in the first six volumes of the Journal of Accounting Education (JAEd). The study identifies the most common resource citations and classifies the articles and notes by subject topic and research methodology. The study shows that JAEd authors have researched a broad spectrum of topics using a variety of research methodologies. Suggestions for improving the scope and breadth of accounting education research are proposed.
