As the Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting (JETA) celebrates its 20th anniversary, a recent analysis sheds light on its significant impact beyond the realm of accounting. In their paper, Impact of JETA As Measured by an AI Generated Taxonomy: Reaching Beyond Accounting, authors Yu Cong and Hui Du utilize OpenAlex, a comprehensive bibliometric database, alongside an AI-generated taxonomy and topic classification system supported by large language models (LLMs) to assess the journal’s influence.
The findings reveal that JETA’s reach extends into various disciplines, including computer science, engineering, social sciences, and even medicine. This analysis is grounded in an extensive review of articles from journals other than JETA that have cited JETA publications, showcasing the diverse applicability of concepts introduced within its pages.
The study emphasizes how JETA has successfully bridged gaps between accounting and other fields, fostering interdisciplinary research and innovation. By employing advanced analytical tools powered by artificial intelligence, the authors provide a nuanced understanding of how emerging technologies in accounting are shaping and influencing a broader academic landscape.
This exploration not only highlights the journal’s contributions to the field of accounting but also underscores its pivotal role in advancing knowledge across multiple domains. As the field continues to evolve, the implications of JETA’s impact serve as a testament to the importance of integrating technological advancements into accounting practices and research.
