On Communicating the Results of Research.
The article focuses on the issue of communicating accounting research results. With the research into the accounting literature, it has been asked whether the findings of the research are being transmitted effectively to those who would endeavor to understand the implications of the research for the future of the discipline. It may be urged that a disservice would be done to the cause of path-breaking research if its results must be seen to be conveyed in the same widely understandable terms as might be found in the more familiar applications. Journals do not perform the same role as seminars or colloquia to which only a small circle of highly trained researchers might be invited. Authors of frontier research may communicate among themselves at such gatherings and through the circulation of working papers. Those who would seek publication in a journal are assumed to be prepared to make their research accessible to a wider audience, and it is the responsibility of a journal editor to facilitate this dissemination by encouraging authors to remove the unnecessary obstacles.
