Abstract

This study explores the composition and variability of journal lists currently used for research productivity assessments at AACSB accounting program-accredited schools in the United States and internationally. Results include the number ranges of journals on journal lists, the treatment of practice-focused journals, journal list sources; differences in journal list compositions based on accounting program size, AACSB faculty classifications, as well as programs with and without doctoral programs, and differences in journal list usage for promotion and tenure. Thus, we compare what is currently being done at quality accounting programs. We find meaningful variations among AACSB accredited accounting programs within and among Carnegie Classifications in both the quality and quantity of journals used as measures of research productivity. Our results will be of interest to administrators who are undergoing AACSB accreditation review, to job applicants, to current accounting faculty, and to those in the process of developing or revising journal lists.
