“…The research intensity of institution peer group is also unrelated to the ASB publication benchmark, a finding which is inconsistent with US research and research from other disciplines that finds the promotion hurdle to be higher at more research-intensive institutions (Glover et al, 2006;Seggie and Griffith, 2009). The government research ranking of the unit is also unrelated.…”

This study investigates the publication profiles of 140 accounting and finance faculty promoted to the senior rank of professor at UK and Irish universities during the period 1992 to 2007. On average, approximately 9 papers in Association of Business Schools (ABS) (2008)-listed journals, with 5 at the highest 3*/4* quality levels in a portfolio of 20 outputs are required for promotion to professor. Multivariate analysis provides evidence that publication requirements in terms of ABS ranked journal papers have increased over time, an effect attributed to the government research assessment exercise. There is no evidence that requirements differ for: internal versus external promotion, male versus female candidates; accounting versus finance professors, research intensity of institution peer group; or government research ranking of unit. There is also no evidence of a substitution effect in relation to increased recent publication history, quantity of non-ABS outputs or soleauthorship, all of which show a significant complementary effect. It is noted that there is very limited overlap in the UK and US publication journal sets, suggesting underlying geographically-based paradigm differences. The benchmarks provided in this study are informative in a range of decision settings: recruitment; those considering making an application for promotion to a chair and those involved in promotion panels; cross-disciplinary comparisons; and resource allocation. The evidence presented also contributes to the emerging policy debates concerning the aging demographic profile of accounting faculty, the management of academic labour and the Research Excellence Framework.

“…In order to find individual and institutional productivity studies in the field of communication or any of its disciplines, one must seek in the English-speaking world (recent examples are Hickson et al, 2009;Seggie & Griffith, 2009, Ford & Merchant 2008West, 2007;Zou, 2005;Hickson, Bodon & Turner, 2004).…”

This article presents the results of a study on the individual and institutional research productivity in Zer Journal of Communication Studies, during its first ten years of history (1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005). This journal has been chosen for four reasons: it is the highest ranked publication; it is the journal in which most researchers want to publish their latest work; it is one of the top three journals in terms of impact in the field of communication; and it is one of the twelve Spanish journals of communication indexed in international databases. This is the first study on research productivity carried out in Spain to offer a ranking of authors. In order to identify and rank the most productive authors and universities, quantitative content analysis was conducted on the 220 research articles published by Zer from 1996 to 2005. The findings reveal that research productivity is low; that three universities produce more than half of the articles; that collaboration between universities is low; and that international collaboration is moderate.

“…This is a potentially important finding, in so far as it relates to the debate about the functionality of existing academic assessment systems. The focus on academic publication, as the single metric of performance (Adler & Harzing, 2009;Seggie & Griffith, 2009), is further exposed as an inadequate way of encouraging and rewarding scholarship in a field such as management where the theory-practice link is so much a part of what makes it distinctive (Tranfield & Starkey, 1998).…”
