Overview

Neil J. Douglas was affiliated with the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom. Their research contributions spanned multiple disciplines within the social sciences, particularly focusing on taxation, child welfare, and family support.

Their main fields of study included Social Sciences, with specific work in subfields such as Economics and Econometrics, Safety Research, Clinical Psychology, and Sociology and Political Science. These areas reflect a multidisciplinary approach to examining complex social and economic issues.

Douglas's research topics consistently addressed Taxation and Compliance Studies as well as Child Welfare and Adoption. Additionally, their work involved Family and Disability Support Research and Family Support in Illness, indicating a concentration on social policies and wellbeing related to families and vulnerable groups.

The scientist published in various venues, most notably the ANAN Journal of Accounting and Public Health Research. Their recent publications included:

  • EFFECT OF MULTIPLE TAXATION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF SMALL AND MEDIUM SCALE ENTERPRISES: LOGIT AND PROBIT APPROACH, 2024, ANAN Journal of Accounting
  • Well-being package for foster carers and teachers of looked-after children aged 8 to 11 years: the STrAWB feasibility RCT, 2025, Public Health Research

Douglas collaborated with several co-authors throughout their career. Frequent co-authors included:

  • NNACHI JUSTINA AKOYEYEKE
  • ONYEBUCHI EZE MICHAEL
  • AGBAFOR MICHAEL O
  • ORJI OGBONNAYA
  • Nikki Luke

The combination of research topics and co-authors indicates interdisciplinary collaboration, especially bridging accounting, public health, and social welfare domains. The presence of work published as late as 2025 suggests ongoing involvement in research projects possibly posthumously published or finalized before passing.
