“…Other researchers have focused on the contributors themselves seeking to evaluate both individual productivity (Howard and Nikolai, 1983; Heck, Cooley and Hubbard, 1986; Heck and Bremser, 1986; and Heck, Jensen and Cooley, 1990), and institutional productivity (Klemkosy and Tuttle, 1973; Andrews and McKensie, 1978; Windal, 1981; Dyl and Lilly, 1985; Heck and Bremser, 1986; Heck, Cooley and Hubbard, 1986; Niemi, 1987; Heck, Jensen and Cooley, 1991; Zivney and Bertin, 1992; Hasselback and Reinstein, 1995; Borokhovich, Bricker, Brunarski and Simkins, 1995; and Zivney, Bertin and Gavin, 1995). Still more studies have focused upon other aspects of publication and productivity, such as quality of doctoral programs (Bazley and Nikoloi, 1975); factors contributing to published research (Cargile and Bublitz, 1986); measures of research productivity (Bublitz and Kee, 1984); time‐delay in doctoral productivity (Jacobs, Hartgraves and Beard, 1986); bibliometric distributions (Chung and Cox, 1990); promotion (Schroeder and Saftner, 1989); realistic research expectations (Rouse and Stockley, 1984); origin of research, data and journal (Lukka and Kasanen, 1996); and finance professors’ research standards (Fishe, 1998).…”

Research quality is often measured by the quality of the journals in which articles are published. This article looks at 1,867 articles published in six highly-rated UK and six highly-rated US academic journals from 1996 to 2000. The authors publishing in the UK journals come mainly from UK and US institutions, but just over a third come from other countries. However, almost ninety per cent of authors publishing in top US journals come from US institutions. Contributions from authors from institutions in non-English speaking countries in these top journals are rare. The implications of this research are that although accounting is growing increasingly international, academic research, especially in the top US journals remains stubbornly nationally-orientated.

“…They may be useful to administrators in decisions regarding faculty promotion, tenure, and merit raises (Rouse and Shockley 1984). Regardless of how publications may be viewed by faculty and administrators, to accounting students, publications demonstrate the instructors' dedication to both the teaching and accounting professions.…”

“…Publications are seen as a means to evaluate and rank accounting scholars (Guthrie et al , 2012; Zamojcin and Bernardi, 2013). Discussions concerning the expectations regarding publishing have been ongoing for several decades (de Villier and Dumay, 2013; Rouse and Shockley, 1984). Notwithstanding the debates over journal rankings (Herron and Hall, 2004; Moore, 2015; Sangster, 2015), it is “imperative upon faculty in many countries, to publish in journals which do well in the specific ranking systems that their academic managers recognize” (Marriott et al , 2014, p. 270).…”

Publishing in scholarly journals is a practical necessity for academics. Put simply, this reality can be described as 'publish or perish'. To be treated as a serious contender for tenure and promotion, scholarly research and activities directed toward publication are necessary aspects of faculty life. The purpose of this paper is to provide insights into 'dealing' with the editorial review process of publishing from the perspective of a relatively new author. Design Using the lens of Q and R theory, a case study approach combined with critical reflection provides a documented tour to enable other authors to enhance their understanding of the publication process through including references to associated reviews and correspondence with a journal editor. The review extracts from the editor and authors' responses are discussed within the context of a theoretical schema and timeline. Findings Drawing the theoretical schema the paper identifies 11 lessons learned along the way to publishing, and these are summarised as the 11 commandments of publishing. Research Implications Utilisation of the Q and R theory can assist researchers as they reflect on how to maximise their publication outcomes. Practical Implications The 11 commandments provides a practical approach for those wanting to improve their understanding and likelihood of publishing success. Originality The originality of this paper is that it considers the publication process from a novice author who subsequently draws on the knowledge of more experienced co-authors. The findings are based on a theoretical schema that is transferable and able to be adopted by others to guide publication outcomes.
