The composition of editorial boards in accounting: a UK perspective

---

Purpose – The purpose of this research is to examine the composition of the editorial boards of 60
academic accounting journals with a particular focus on the university affiliations of editorial board
members. The role of ad hoc reviewers is then analysed. Design/methodology/approach – A detailed content analysis of the members of the 60 editorial boards was conducted. The authors concentrated on UK universities and journals, but also provide some data on non-UK schools and journals.
Findings – There were six main findings. First, editorial appointments were normally held by
nationals of the country where the journal was published. Second, US academics had a significant
presence on all boards. Third, there was a lack of penetration of UK academics, particularly on US or
high quality boards. Fourth, overseas academics were present in significant numbers on UK boards.
Fifth, editorial board appointments tended to be concentrated in a limited number of institutions and
individuals. Sixth, journals, particularly generalist journals, used reviewers extensively.
Practical implications – This research will inform the debate about the degree of influence which
UK academics have on journal research agendas and on the international stage. The findings show
that journal editorial boards do not capture all high ranking institutions and individuals. Editors could consider widening the scope of their editorial board opportunities. Originality/value – This is the first comprehensive study into the editorial boards of accounting journals. It shows the presence of an editorial board elite.
