  • Second Call for Papers
    SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd FRENCH CONFERENCE ON SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTING RESEARCH (3rd CSEAR France Conference) June 11-12, 2015 ESSEC Business School, France The Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research (CSEAR) has held an annual conference in the UK (often referred to as the Summer School) for more than two decades, as well as in other parts of the world for several years in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and in both North and South Americas. Similar to other CSEAR conferences, the 3rd CSEAR France Conference will be a deliberately informal discussion forum gathering researchers, teachers, students and practitioners at all levels of experience to further enhance research in new instruments, policies and strategies related to social and environmental accounting in the very widest sense. The spirit of the conference is interdisciplinary and focuses on a high level of interaction, discussion and debate in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. As such, research papers from perspectives beyond accounting and management control such as organizational theory, marketing, finance, strategy, etc., are welcome. The conference will provide participants an opportunity to present their research projects, ranging from discussing preliminary findings to full papers. Submissions are welcome in either French or English. For this 3rd CSEAR France conference, we are pleased to welcome Professor Brendan O’Dwyer, Professor of Accounting at the University of Amsterdam, as our plenary speaker. For the practitioner forum, we are equally pleased to welcome Adam Koniuszewski, Chief Operating Officer at Green Cross International. There will also be a Special Issue of Advances in Environmental Accounting and Management on the “Current Developments in Social and Environmental Accounting” (a call for papers has been issued and is available on the conference website).

  • On the Necessity of Multiple University Rankings
    COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management ISSN : 0973 – 7766 (Print) 2168 – 930X (Online) DOI : 10.1080/09737766.2018.1550043 On the necessity of multiple university rankings Lefteris Angelis Nick Bassiliades Yannis Manolopoulos Nowadays university rankings are ubiquitous commodities; a plethora of them is published every year by private enterprises, state authorities and universities. University rankings are very popular to governments, journalists, university administrations and families as well. At the same time, they are heavily criticized as being very subjective and contradic- tory to each other. University rankings have been studied with respect to political, educational and data management aspects. In this paper, we Lefteris Angelis* focus on a specific research question regarding the alignment of some School of Informatics well-known such rankings, ultimately targeting to investigate the use- Aristotle University of fulness of the variety of all these rankings.

The results show that despite their statistically signifi- [email protected] cant correlation, there are many cases of high divergence and instability, which can be reduced by ordered categorization.
