members, while ignoring the chairs’ critical role in tenure evaluation. This paper uses department
chairs’ responses to a survey asking to assess relative journal quality, and hence provides quantitative
standards to measure research productivity. The rankings are primarily obtained by the
familiarity-rank position index method. Different sets of rankings for the decision-makers in
universities, with various requirements for research are provide.
Findings – It is found that the rankings in accounting and finance areas are consistent with the prior
research, but the rankings in the IS have changed significantly. This difference to the rapid growth in
the field of IS is attributed. The robustness check also corroborates the ranking lists.
Originality/value – In addition, this paper reports not only a comprehensive ranking list including
most journals in accounting, finance, and IS areas, but also separate rankings in each field.
