Scientometric studies provide a picture of the flow of production, dissemination, and utilization of science to managers at different levels of research and implementation to plan accordingly in the relevant field. The purpose of this article was to study the scientometrics of earnings management research in Iran. The research is applied and has been done using the quantitative content analysis method. The statistical population of research includes all scientific journals in the educational disciplines of accounting and finance that have published articles in this field. The research time limit was also 26 years from 1992 to early 2018. The research findings reveal that with a distance of 37 years from other countries, earnings management research in Iran started in 2003. With 14% of the total, real earnings management-related research also has a small share of this type of research in Iran. The modified Jones model (1991) with 56% in the section of accrual earnings management models and the Roychowdhury model (2006) with 55% in the real earnings management models section have been used more by researchers than other earnings management discovery models. From the total of 7012 references cited in the articles, 73% were English, and 27% were Persian. Anyway, given the importance of the issue, the small number of studies conducted in this field, especially in real earnings management, emphasizes the need to pay more attention to this field, which is done to prevent and detect earnings management.

AbstractPurpose: The purpose of this article is to scientometrics study of scientific production of the journal of tax research as the only scientific journal of the field of tax knowledge in Iran. Metholdology: This research is an applied research and is based on content analysis methodology. The data were collected by using checklist tool and statistical analysis has been done via Excel software and the range of research time is 10 years from 2008 to early 2018. Findings: Findings have been showed that during the years studied, 626 authors contributed to the production of 273 articles, of which 484 were men and 142 women. considering the level of education and scientific ranking of the authors, MA degree with 42% and assistant professors with 28% are in the top of the ranking list of authors.

Among the universities and scientific centers, Allameh Tabataba'i University with 27 articles ranked first and Islamic Azad University of Central Tehran Branch, along with the Office of Tax Studies and Research, with 16 papers ranked second. Conclusion: It seems that the main reason for the researchers' of the journal attention to issues such as evaluating staff and tax departments as a research topic, ease of access to their information for researchers, but in contrast to these matters, the subject of the assessment is the taxpayer, whose number of researches in the journal shows that the number of these studies is not even among the top 20 researchers. This is while research in this area has an important role in identifying the barriers and problems of the tax system and will help in the future plans of the state in the field of tax revenues. On the other hand, the topic of tax evasion in the third category of research priorities of researchers, suggests a serious problem in this area.
