- Title
The Place Of Ethics Scholarship In The U.S. Accounting Academy: Accounting Doctorates' Research Productivity In Ethics Journals.

- Abstract
While there has been research that assesses the research productivity of doctoral programs, the existing research uses journals that do not include ethics as a principal area of interest for manuscripts (Bernardi, 2004). In an era that witnessed the Enron/Arthur Andersen scandal, among other publicized ethical lapses, the resultant expectation would be for an increased focus/emphasis on ethics in mainstream accounting research. Given the hue and cry about ethics and the acknowledged/conferred responsibility of academia for the development of ethical graduates, perhaps ethics should be one of the primary research themes and paradigms in accounting scholarship. To the extent that this is an acknowledged and accepted destination, it is essential to know where we currently stand on this important journey. This research provides data on the level of productivity in accounting ethics research for the graduates of doctoral programs in accounting from 1969 through 1998. We rate this productivity using the research published in 21 ethics journals, which were analyzed for the 35-year period (1968-2002). The study identifies the doctoral programs graduating the largest number of scholars publishing ethics research.
