Authors : Moses Olayinka, FJ Mohaimen, and Mofoluwaso Emmanuel

Abstract : Social and Environmental Accountability Journal (SEAJ) made notable progress as a specialist journal for disseminating social and environmental accounting research (SEAR) over the past 26 years. This study reviews SEAJ’s published papers to establish the journal’s achievements and to suggest possible areas to address heading into the future. We analyse the volume, methodology, impact (citation) of articles and jurisdictions represented in SEAJ. The findings show that original articles employing qualitative methods have the most representation in SEAJ. While there is a reasonable spread of published research focusing on the UK, the US and Australia, the results indicate a paucity of research emanating from developing countries. The projections herein are in line with the intent of SEAJ to advance the journal’s goals by 2020 and beyond. Consequently, we call on SEAJ contributors to consider research that accounts for the underrepresented jurisdictions and the extant SEAR gaps, as well as the emerging issues affecting social and environmental accounting (SEA).
