The latest volume of Accounting and Business Research has published the findings of an analysis of publications in nineteen leading internationally recognised accounting journals.

Accounting researchers at the School of Management and Business at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth were ranked 16th in Europe during the period 1991 – 2002 and over the more recent period 1997 – 2002 the researchers were ranked 17th.
