Would you do me a real favor and tell me what "case-based research" means? "Publication is the natural target output of the research process, and Chapter 11 addresses the complexity of the publication process. In doing so it recognises that we are working in a dynamic process; what was once acceptable in accounting research is no longer so because of a more appropriate emphasis on research ethics; what is publishable, at all or in specific journals, changes too, both with the passage of time and the passing of particular journal editors. Many journals remain very conservative in the type of research they will publish, often on the grounds that it is difficult to demonstrate that ‘new’ methods constitute ‘good’ research in the same way as the traditional methods. But this situation is changing gradually – the wider opportunities for publishing case-based research in recent years provides evidence of this."
