Are publication requirements for accounting faculty promotions still increasing?

The publication productivity of accounting faculty promoted to associate professor at AACSB-accredited institutions during the 8 year period 1987-1994 is examined. The results indicate some decline in the publication productivity of faculty promoted at doctoral institutions. In contrast, the publication productivity of faculty promoted in nondoctoral institutions increased in the 1990s when compared to the later years of the 1980s. Such increases were observed in public and private nondoctoral schools, with and without a master's program in accounting and doctoral programs in other professional areas, such as business or engineering.
