Abstract

This study presents a retrospective review of the Australian Accounting Review (AAR) across its first 30 years of publication, 1991 to 2020. AAR’s academic contributions have grown by 17.01% year‐on‐year over this period, while its level of academic influence has risen by 20.21%. Authorship numbers have grown by 16.10% annually, from 11 authors in the year of inception to 969 individuals in 2020. Emerging initially as an important regional resource, the AAR has evolved to become an internationally renowned academic outlet with contributions sourced from 44 different countries. Emergent themes in the journal include integrated reporting, corporate social responsibility, investor protection and comprehensive income.
