Abstract
* Thanks are due to AE 's Associate Editors for their helpful inputs to this first AE Editorial Essay . The usual caveat applies. It could be seen as being almost tautological to assert that the scope and nature of an academic discipline plays a significant role in both research and teaching within that academic discipline. The importance of this viewpoint was captured by Becher ( 1989 ; 1994 ) who compared academic disciplines to tribes, which provide: the life-blood of higher education … its main organizing base and its main social framework (1994, p. 151). Within any discipline, a key unifying characteristic of those who undertake research is to be found in their role as educators, hence one might suppose that research in the field of education - the endeavour which unites all researchers - would be of widespread interest and would be held in high esteem by all members of the academy. Within the academic discipline of accounting, however, it would appear that research in the field of accounting education is often not considered to be of comparable standing to research in other branches of the accounting domain.
