ABSTRACT
Owing to the historical development of modern accounting scholarship, the bulk of internationally respected accounting journals are published in the Anglo-American countries, especially Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and the United States. The aim of this study is to assist non-Anglo American accounting scholars in publishing in such journals. A survey is conducted of 23 successful accounting journal authors of Chinese origin. All of these authors had grown up in either Hong Kong or Taiwan, and are knowledgeable about the current state of accounting education and research in the Asia-Pacific region. Their insights are reported relating to three issues: (1) the critical factors behind their own success in publishing in the internationally respected, English-language accounting journals; (2) the advice they would give to aspiring colleagues of similar origins, and who currently are working in their home countries; and (3) the advice they would give to Asia-Pacific doctoral students studying in their home countries. The paper also relates these findings to several articles with similar objectives, but which have an Anglo-American focus. It concludes with some observations on the role of research and scholarship.
