Qualitative Research in Accounting & Management is an international journal that publishes qualitative research investigating the interface of accounting and management/managerial work in different contexts and from various theoretical perspectives and that contributes to contemporary academic debates.
Aims and scope
Qualitative Research in Accounting & Management (QRAM) is an international journal dedicated to publishing high-quality qualitative research specifically within the field of accounting. While we welcome interdisciplinary studies that explore the interface of accounting and management, our primary focus is on advancing qualitative research in accounting.

We encourage submissions that employ a variety of theoretical lenses and perspectives to investigate practices within the accounting field. Our aim is to challenge and expand the understanding of the accounting-management nexus in diverse contexts, including organizational, historical, social, and political settings.

QRAM invites original research papers, conceptual pieces, substantive review articles, and shorter contributions such as comments or research notes, provided they contribute to the qualitative exploration of accounting.

The following is intended to indicate potential topics, but is by no means prescriptive. These topics can be overlapping rather than discrete subject areas, and researchers should not feel restricted by the scope of the topics listed below.

Management accounting and control
Accountability, transition and organisational change
Performance management and accounting metrics
