Publications by years after graduation for promotion to associate professor for lower and middle tercile performers.
Lower Tercile
To determine the publication rates per year, we first determined the time elapsed between the publication date and the Ph.D. granting date (Publication Date – Ph.D. date) for each article. We then totaled the number of articles by the time period for each ranking pool of 15 schools (university rankings, journal category). This quantity was then divided by the number of professors in each ranking pool of 15 who were in the lowest one third in terms of publication totals.
Professors were excluded from this table if they took less than five years or more than seven years to receive the associate rank advancement. We also excluded the two years after graduation since they do not differ significantly from two years after graduation.
We only present Top 6, Top 25, and Other for these charts to keep them reasonably uncluttered. Publication totals are cumulative through columns and through groups (i.e., Top 6 includes Top 3 and Top Bus).
