RESUMEN

Este trabajo efectúa un análisis descriptivo de la producción científica de los investigadores españoles en contabilidad basado en ciertas características de los mismos, tales como la universidad que actualmente les emplea, su doctorado de procedencia o su categoría académica. Este estudio realiza asimismo una investigación exploratoria de los factores que están ligados a la producción científica, centrando particularmente su atención en los incentivos. Para ello se han realizado una serie de tareas: en primer lugar, ha sido necesario construir una base de datos que recoge los investigadores contables. En segundo lugar, se han examinado las características de las revistas que publican artículos contables para seleccionar aquellas que sirven para difundir la investigación. En tercer lugar, se ha cuantificado la producción científica. El trabajo concluye que el factor institucional parece estar ligado al nivel de producción científica, en tanto que los incentivos profesionales no parecen ser determinantes en el conjunto.

ABSTRACT

This paper accomplishes a descriptive analysis of scientific production in the context of Spanish accounting research, based on researchers' characteristics such as their current employing university, where they obtained their doctorate or in what academic level they actually are employed. This study also carries out an exploratory investigation of the determinants of scientific production, focusing on incentives. With this aim, a number of tasks have been accomplished: first, it was necessary to build a database that contains the Spanish researchers. Second, in order to select those journals that are useful for accounting research diffusion, their qualities were examined. Finally, scientific production was quantified using the conventional variables. The paper concludes that the institutional factor seems to be linked with scientific production, while the professional incentives do not seem to be determinant in the whole.
