Abstract: This article contributes to and develops the discussion initiated by Doyle and Arthurs [Omega, 23, 257-270 (1995)] on the publishing patterns of UK academics. We briefly discuss a research critical of citation analysis and show that, in the accounting domain, peer review studies have been used frequently. The results from accounting confirm Doyle and Arthurs' findings that UK academics fail to publish in US journals. We argue this is because UK academics are primarily networked into a UK academic environment and UK academics work primarily on material of UK interest. These factors present a barrier to achieving publication in US journals.
