Mapping the Research Landscape on Technological Innovations in Accounting Systems Automation: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Technological advancements are profoundly transforming accounting systems and practices. This bibliometric analysis maps the scholarly landscape within this domain through publication, citation, and other quantitative measures. Findings reveal an increasing focus on artificial intelligence and sophisticated data-driven techniques. The United States stands out as the top knowledge producer and influencer judging by its high volume and impact of publications. Global collaboration networks are expanding but remain uneven. An assessment of leading academic journals disseminating influential work offers additional insights into progress shaping automated accounting systems. Journal metrics, including CiteScore, SNIP, and SJR, provided further insight into the influence and prestige of the academic outlets leading the discussion on technological advancements in accounting systems. These metrics also illuminated the roles of various journals in shaping the trajectory of the field. This study offers a vital understanding of the current state of technological innovations in automated accounting systems, contributing to the strategic direction of future research and offering a metric-based evaluation of academic influence and collaboration in this rapidly progressing field.
