6. Conclusion
In this paper we have discussed the increased pressure on accounting academics to
publish in highly ranked journals and provide insight into the construction of articles
published in three leading academic accounting journals, namely AAAJ, AOS and
CPA. We discussed the attributes and construction of published interdisciplinary
academic accounting articles. This could inform the approach of both emerging and
experienced scholars, contribute to a discussion of ways authors might adapt their
approach to writing, and potentially influence aspects of future research outputs.
