Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, 2019, vol. 32, issue 8, 2193-2210

Abstract: Purpose - Expanding upon the special issue entitled “The special issue:AAAJand research innovation”, published in 2012, this introduction to the second special issue of the genre is concerned with selected thematic special issues ofAAAJappearing during the second decade of publication from 1998 to 2007. The paper explores research innovation by means of the thematic issues addressed from this decade. Design/methodology/approach - This paper provides a background to this special issue and an outline of the articles included. The issue features seven retrospective/prospective articles written by the guest editors of special thematic issues published during 1998 to 2007, supplemented where appropriate by other co-authors or, in one instance, by a new author team. Findings - The guest editors and other contributing authors sought to identify and discuss the progression of each field since theAAAJspecial issue was published, and to assess the impacts of the special issues to this progression, and to propose future research developments in the designated fields. Research limitations/implications - This commentary on articles published is no substitute for carefully reading these contributions. The papers provide a comprehensive review of key developments in the literature until most recently and explore the opportunities for further innovative interdisciplinary accounting research. Originality/value - ThisAAAJspecial issue, and the earlier 2012 prototype, constitute a different approach to producing special issues, where the original special issues are revisited with a view to assessing research trends and impacts and to identifying research developments which are ripe for pursuing in each of these interdisciplinary accounting fields.
