Accounting Researchers in Asia Pacific: A Study on Publication Productivity and Citation Analysis

“…In line with chan et al (2005), of the 18 journals, a subset of top five journals was also selected for separate analyses.

On the other hand, university administrators need such data to provide a fair and objective performance evaluation of their academics (Hasselback, Reinstein & Schwan, 2003). Information on research productivity of faculty members also helps potential doctoral candidates to identify research supervisors to provide suitable and relevant mentorship (Pickerd et al, 2011).…”

Cooley and Heck (2005) recognize the prolific authors in the finance literature over a 50-year period, while Chung et al (2001) used patterns in the literature to measure the success of faculty and the strength of journals.…”

“…Similarities versus differences among disciplines Hasselback et al (2003), Cooley and Heck (2005), and Bakir et al (2000) ranked the scholarly output of doctorates in accounting, finance, and marketing (respectively) who were teaching in the United States.
