As shown in Table 2, we found 29 Journals that published XBRL related articles.
From these ones, 2 seemed to play a key role in XBRL academic research
publications: International Journal of Accounting Information Systems (Srivastava
and Kogan, 2010; Alles and Pietchocki, 2010; Debreceny and Gray, 2010) and
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (Bao et al., 2010; Lara et al., 2006, Hou et al.,
2006). The diversity of academic journals that published articles related to XBRL
suggest that academic community is engaged in the development and implementation
of web-technology for financial reporting disclosure and business data extraction, the
improvement of financial information transparency, real-time disclosure and real-time
audit.
