Abstract
Accounting in Europe (AinE) is an international journal that publishes high-quality articles offering new insights for research, practice, policy and regulation. On the occasion of the AinE 20th anniversary, this study presents a retrospective review of the journal’s contents. We employ scientometrics to analyse the journal’s article impact and co-authorship analysis to depict the collaboration networks of authors and their affiliated institutions and countries. Using bibliographic coupling, we group AinE publications into 11 major thematic clusters. Our study also illustrates the research trends to suggest future research directions and provides valuable insights for the editorial board, scholars, practitioners, and regulators alike.
