Abstract:
The paper aims to analyze the state of the accounting
research in Romania, as compared to the other
countries in Eastern Europe, as well as to identify the
causes of the observed situation and its possible
deviations in the research activity, respectively in the
field of research evaluation. The Scimago database was
used to carry out the research, which allowed the
analysis of Romania's position in Eastern Europe in
terms of the number of published articles, average
number of article quotes and self-citations. The study of
the specialized literature and the direct knowledge of
some aspects specific to the Romanian academic life
allowed to identify possible causes of the current
situation, and also some behaviors, not always normal,
generated by the enforcement of certain criteria for the
occupation of didactic functions without a sufficient
analysis of the Romanian realities, and even without any
care to restore the traditional social role of the
universities.
