Accounting professor citation-based research rankings by topic area and method

What is it about?

This study pulls together research productivity rankings for accounting researchers over the past six, 12, and 20 years. The rankings are computed by common topics in accounting journals namely: AIS, audit, financial, managerial, and tax. These research rankings are furthermore disaggregated by their method of research, i.e. analytical, archival, and experimental. This paper provides pre-doctoral students an insight into professor's work and allows administration an easier way of comprehensively evaluating faculty research performance. This paper may also be of interest to researchers interested in accounting rankings.
