An analysis of accounting history research in Portugal: 1990—2004

University of Algarve, arfaria{at}ualg.pt

This study analyses and reports on the development of accounting history research in Portugal across a period of 15 years spanning 1990 to 2004. In so doing, it builds a database of all the contributions on accounting's past appearing in Portugal and those of Portuguese authors disseminated abroad over this period. The study further explores publishing patterns in the Portuguese accounting journals, providing an array of evidence such as the number of accounting history articles per journal, the gender of authors and the time spans and subject areas examined. While the results indicate that there are topics and periods still unexplored or deserving wider examination in Portuguese accounting history, they also reveal a significant extension of the work in this field, especially from 2002 to 2004. This increasing trend is particularly visible in the number of articles published in international journals and the number of papers submitted to international congresses, providing Portuguese accounting history research with a growing international visibility.
