Sumario:Colombian accounting research has been an area of interest since its inception in the 1970s; however, the great concern that arises nowadays is the impact of development on a research community and on the international context. A sweep of the different national publications that gather together a large part of the Colombian researchers’ production in accounting, showing that there are still limitations such as the absence of debate among colleagues, lack of institutional support, very little closeness to business reality, among others; which have not allowed a consolidation. Under this scenario, this article addresses some ideas on how to approach for networking and strengthening research capacity, which, if carried out, could significantly enhance the country in terms of international visibility.
