Editorial Notes

Abstract

Journals play an increasingly important and complex roles in the academic endeavour. There is even now a considerable and growing journal literature that explores the journals themselves.  For a long time in accounting and finance, there were very few journals (in the English Language at least) and one could, as a consequence, relatively easily become a master of that literature. Now the CSEAR website1 lists 150 Engish Language accounting and finance journals and there are well over a thousand business and management journals2. There are benefits and problems with this growth.
