ABSTRACT
The perceived quality of risk management and insurance publications is important to professors who publish in these journals. It is also important to deans, chairpersons, colleagues, and others who evaluate research productivity. Through a survey of business college deans and their representatives at schools offering risk management and insurance coursework, quality ratings and rankings were obtained for risk management and insurance journals. In addition, relative value scores for presentations of research results at regional and national meetings were obtained. Based on the journal and conference presentation ratings, overall measures of research productivity for tenure and promotion were established.
