| Abstract: | In this study, journal influence (hereafter as: j-i.) using the principles of knowledge capital (here as: knw-cap.) and social networks is measured. In order to evaluate knw-cap. flows in a network of 22 accounting research (as: acc-res.) journals from 2000 to 2006, the structural index measure is used. The influence measure is a function of both the quantity and quality of citations resulting in j-i. rankings reflecting each journal's contribution to the acc-res. context. It is shown that although some journals are highly cited, they may be less influential. Publishing research of high value is one key to increasing the influence of a journal in the network. Moreover, the analysis of a well-defined journal network provides a view of the distinct contribution of individual journals. |
