Abstract
ABSTRACT In these editorial reflections, we revisit the main developments of the last year with a particular emphasis on themes of inspiration and orientation. In doing so, we pay tribute to one of SEAJ’s longstanding contributors, Conny Beck, who sadly passed away at the end of last year. Then, the evolution of the sustainability accounting field leads us to revisit the current and future orientation of SEAJ, in light of its ongoing and explicit commitment to the development of a new literature in social and environmental accounting. We discuss the implications for the type of work we welcome to the journal, as well as for areas of work that are no longer compatible with the journal’s aims and scope. Ultimately, we invite submitting authors to be bold, to dare, to challenge, to take us into unchartered areas. This will not only help keep SEAJ distinctive, but most importantly this is how, as a community, we will take our field further.
期刊介绍:
Social and Environmental Accountability Journal (SEAJ) is the official Journal of The Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research. It is a predominantly refereed Journal committed to the creation of a new academic literature in the broad field of social, environmental and sustainable development accounting, accountability, reporting and auditing. The Journal provides a forum for a wide range of different forms of academic and academic-related communications whose aim is to balance honesty and scholarly rigour with directness, clarity, policy-relevance and novelty. SEAJ welcomes all contributions that fulfil the criteria of the journal, including empirical papers, review papers and essays, manuscripts reporting or proposing engagement, commentaries and polemics, and reviews of articles or books. A key feature of SEAJ is that papers are shorter than the word length typically anticipated in academic journals in the social sciences. A clearer breakdown of the proposed word length for each type of paper in SEAJ can be found here.
