Reflections on a journey with Accounting History as an international refereed journal, 1995–2019

Abstract

Accounting History is the journal of the Accounting History Special Interest Group of the Accounting and Finance Association of Australia and New Zealand. My journey as the Founding Editor (1995–2007) and as Joint Editor (from 2008) of the New Series (NS) of Accounting History, as an international refereed journal, commenced on 1 January 1995 and will conclude on 31 December 2019. The first issue of the NS was published in May 1996, with 1995 being devoted to relaunching the journal for international leadership in the field. The journal’s development has been supported by periodic conferences, colloquia and symposia, namely the Accounting History International Conference, the Accounting History Doctoral Colloquium, which was later replaced by the Accounting History International Emerging Scholars’ Colloquium, and the Accounting History Symposium. This contribution provides personal reflections of this journey from 1995 to 2019, a consecutive period of 25 years, and comprises four sections: Introduction, Looking back, Looking ahead and Conclusions.
