XBRL Research

Several years ago, Dr Saeed Roohani of Bryant University in Rhode Island established the XBRL Educational Resource Center at that University. Since then, the Center has held annual conferences on XBRL and also an annual contest for students' research papers.

The results of the latest student competition, the 2008-09 Global XBRL Academic Competition have been announced and are available at the Center's site. A team from Iran won the contest this year with a paper entitled "Company Performance Analysis Using XBRL, Intelligent Visual Fraud, and XBRL Surveillance and Analysis Desktop".

Other research and educational activities of the Center are available at that site. The Center has made and is making a significant contribution to research in XBRL.
