Effective factors on the Output of Iranian Researchers' Accounting Research at the Level of International journals

Research is the heart of knowledge creation in the world and the main axis of scientific development of any country. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the effective factors on the output of Iranian accounting researches at the level of international journals. The data was collected by a questionnaire. The statistical population of this study is accounting faculty members of universities across the country. The data of the questionnaire were collected in 2019. In total, 53 questionnaires were collected, of which 50 questionnaires could be used for analysis. The results of 50 collected questionnaires show that national factors are the most important factor influencing the output of accounting research at the level of international journals. The findings of this study indicate that Iranian academics have the necessary motivation to research at the level of international journals. However, the low wages and prejudices of the editorial board of international journals make it impossible for academics to publish papers internationally. Of course, statistical expertise, understanding the literature of the specialized field and promotion also affect the motivation of academics to publish papers at the level of international journals. The results of this study also show that the necessary institutional pressure on faculty members to publish the paper in international journals has not been sufficient. The results of this study could be an important step in improving the publishing status of Iranian researchers' papers at the level of international journals.
