Productivity in Top-10 Academic Accounting Journals by Canadian Accounting Researchers since 2001

What is it about?

We assess the research publication productivity of Canadian-based accounting researchers in highly ranked accounting journals for the 2001–13 period. Our research provides important benchmarks for use by individual researchers and universities for matters such as promotion and tenure decisions. We also compare and contrast the productivity of the 15 male and 15 female academics that publish most in top-10 accounting journals to assess the breadth of outlets being used beyond top-10 outlets (including FT 45 journals, accounting journals ranked “A”, “B”, and “non-A/B”; non-accounting outlets). The supplemental analysis sheds light on the finding from this paper, and prior research, that women are less likely to be represented on lists of those with most publications in highly ranked accounting journals, by comparing the two groups of researchers across a wide range of factors.

Why is it important?

This research is important as it provides benchmarks to compare Canadian vs. International researchers, and female vs. male accounting academics. It will assist in promotion and tenure decisions, and the choice of outlets for research.
