Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to provide a general view of Turkish Finance and Accounting (F&A) literature in the context of journals that are indexed in SSCI (Social Science Citation Index) of Web of Science. Results show that; total 398 F&A articles were published in 75 different journals. We observe a high level of concentration in terms of journals. Top four journals published; 88, 76, 34 and 17 papers respectively. That is 4 out of 75 journals account for more than half of the academic work. We also observe a high level of concentration in terms of publication years as well. 316 out of 398 academic works were published in the last 6 years. There is an upwards trend in the number of publications in SSCI. One of the interesting findings of the study is that there is not even a single study from 1980 to 1994. When we look at the number of authors; we see that academic works in Turkey were done mostly by 2 authors and academic works done by 4 or 5 authors are rare.
