JAMEELA (Journal of Multiperspectives on Accounting Literature) is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal dedicated to expanding the traditional boundaries of accounting discourse. The journal challenges mainstream paradigms by positioning accounting not merely as an economic and technical instrument, but as a complex social, cultural, and organizational phenomenon.

JAMEELA is established to address the global literature gap currently dominated by positivist approaches and large-scale corporate financial archival research. The journal provides a platform for scholars to publish innovative, interdisciplinary, and critical research exploring the dimensions of accounting at the intersection of sociology, technology, ecology, and behavioral dynamics. We invite literature that offers fresh perspectives on issues that are persistently under-represented in conventional accounting literature.

Coverage includes, but is not limited to:

• Sociology of Accounting Technology: Critical studies on algorithmic accountability, the ethics of artificial intelligence in reporting, professional autonomy in the digital era, and the construction of value in unregulated virtual assets.

• Micro-Sustainability and Grassroots Circular Economy: Environmental and social accounting practices beyond multinational corporate entities, including accounting for local ecosystems, grassroots initiatives, cooperatives, and the recognition of non-human entities.

• Governance and Behavioral Dynamics: In-depth analysis of informal power networks, elite-political connections in emerging markets, and psychological or behavioral studies shaping boardroom decision-making.

• Marginalized Contexts and Alternative Epistemologies: Accountability practices in non-governmental organizations, religious institutions, the informal economy, as well as the deconstruction of global accounting standards through postcolonial and developing-country lenses.

Methodological approaches

JAMEELA strongly encourages methodological diversity, which often lacks sufficient space in mainstream journals. We welcome articles employing qualitative, critical, and interpretive approaches. This includes, but is not limited to: accounting ethnography and netnography, autoethnography, critical discourse analysis, interventionist research, in-depth case studies, and Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR) that offer robust interdisciplinary synthesis. Quantitative approaches offering theoretical novelty through a multidisciplinary lens are also highly considered.

Key journal audiences

• Academics and researchers in accounting, economic sociology, and governance studies.

• Policymakers and regulators interested in the broader social impact of accounting standards and financial technology.

• Practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of behavioral dynamics, local sustainability, and professional ethics beyond traditional financial metrics.

• Postgraduate students exploring alternative literature and methodologies in advanced accounting research.
