Qualitative Research in Accounting & Management is an international journal that publishes qualitative research at the interface of accounting and management.
The journal encourages interdisciplinary research of practices in the accounting field through a variety of theoretical lenses and perspectives. In doing so, it seeks to challenge and add to our knowledge of the accounting-management nexus in various (e.g., organisational, historical, social and political) contexts.
QRAM welcomes submissions of original research papers, conceptual pieces, substantive review articles, and shorter papers such as comments or research notes.
The following is intended to indicate potential topics, but is by no means prescriptive. These topics can be overlapping rather than discrete subject areas, and researchers should not feel restricted by the scope of the topics listed below.
• Management accounting and control
• Accountability, transition and organisational change
• Performance management and accounting metrics
