This analysis ranks journal quality in accounting, showing differences by specialty and faculty type.
ABSTRACT: Magnitude-estimation procedures are used to establish a ratio-scale "quality" ranking of journals in which accounting faculty typically publish. The Journal of Accounting Research and The Accounting Review are the highest-ranked journals. Significant differences were found in the journal rankings across the specialty areas of auditing, financial, managerial, and tax. Substantial differences are observable in comparisons of rankings of (1) faculty at doctoral-granting institutions versus faculty at institutions granting only master's or bachelor's degrees, and (2) assistant professors versus full professors. In comparison to an earlier ranking, the two top journals are identical but several new and accounting-related journals are included in the current ranking.
