Articles Published in the First 14 Volumes (2006-2019) of the AIS Educator Journal: An Editors’ Classification and Analysis

Abstract

Abstract Accounting information systems (AIS) is a continually changing field driven by business and technological advances. Thus, AIS educators should reflect continually on what topics they should teach, how they should teach them, and what materials will best help facilitate student learning. We first classify and analyze the 60 articles published in the first 14 volumes (2006-2019) of the AIS Educator Journal (AISEJ) to identify trends in AIS topics and teaching strategies over those years. Our analysis draws conclusions about trends in article topics by category, editor, author, and affiliation. We also draw from recent surveys of accounting professionals to learn what topics they believe should be taught in AIS, then review coverage of those topics in AISEJ over the 14 years. Finally, we provide a searchable spreadsheet of articles by category and topic as a resource for AIS educators to use in their courses.
