| Abstract: | The article deals with if codes of ethics are needed to guide author, editor and reviewer publishing practices in accounting journals ? What practices are considered not ethical, and to what extend do they occur ? A survey of 95 journal editors publishing accounting articles rated author, editor and reviewer practices as ethical or unethical, and estimated the frequency with which these practices occur. Respondents also commented on current publishing practices regarding the double-blind review process, payments for reviews, confirmatory bias, and whether codes of ethics are needed for the publication process. More than half of the editors supported the status quo. They also felt that codes were not necessary for editors and reviewers. They were evenly split on the question of an author code of ethics. |
