This study examines recent accounting research published in 10 journals led by New Zealand and Australia based editors, namely: Abacus ; Accounting and Finance ; Accounting Forum ; Accounting History ; Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal ; Australian Accounting Review ; International Journal of Auditing ; Meditari Accountancy Research ; Pacific Accounting Review ; and Qualitative Research in Accounting and Management . The paper identifies the most cited recent articles (2015–2017), and the most prolific authors, universities and geographical regions. It then reveals trends in research areas and relevance of recent accounting articles. The paper discusses the importance of the Australian Business Deans Council journal quality list in facilitating novel and relevant research, and recommends the integration of citation metrics into its ratings methodology.
