This study explores the reach and impact of Internet Financial Reporting (IFR) research using various metrics, including citations, Altmetric Attention Scores (AAS), Mendeley readers and X (Twitter) mentions. Citation patterns reveal significant influence from publications on corporate governance and bibliometric analyses, with IFR research impacting areas such as commerce and management. Influential papers, especially from high-impact journals like the Journal of Accounting & Public Policy and Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah Teoridan Terapan, show high Altmetric scores, reflecting strong online engagement and discussion. A comparison of attention scores highlights works like “The determinants of Internet financial reporting” as highly regarded compared to similar research. Mendeley reader demographics indicate a global readership, predominantly from business and economics, including a range of professional statuses from students to professors. X (Twitter) engagement reveals contributions from the public and science communicators, particularly in Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, emphasising broad interest in IFR research. Overall, these metrics demonstrate the substantial impact and relevance of IFR studies in both academic and professional circles.
