Abstract

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.
