Accounting Education: New Pedagogies and Digital Approaches Based on the Research Agenda

Abstract

This article aims to review, summarize, and map the scientific production on accounting education for the period 1957–2020, to identify some scientific paths for the future. The systematic literature review was conducted through research in all indexers of the Web of Science Core Collection. We chose the open-source statistical software R to operationalize bibliometric analysis and used Bibliometrix R 3.0.1 in the Biblioshiny version. For network visualization and mapping, we opted for Vosviewer software. A dataset of 415 articles were analyzed, covering 732 authors, 127 journals, and 376 institutions from 50 countries, and indexed with 1,166 keywords. Accounting Education magazine has the most significant cumulative growth. The studies were conducted mainly in Australia. The theoretical contribution of this review is to identify existing research on accounting education. It is useful for the scientific community, editors of scientific journals, professors, and researchers. It reviews and summarizes scientific literature, characterizes trends, and identifies future directions and the results are a basis for future research.
