Journal Article
University chancellorship and research productivity: An investigation of the number of published articles
2025
Overview
With the growth of knowledge and increasing competition, the assessment of scientific articles has become a challenging issue. Previous research suggests that multiple variables influence the number of academic articles. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the beginning of chancellorship in top-ranked universities and the number of chancellors’ articles. Chancellors of 200 top universities worldwide were randomly selected from the top 1,000 universities listed on the topuniversities.com profile page. Data were collected through the Scopus Database using a checklist that contained variables such as gender, age, being active or nonactive, and continent. The mean number of articles during the period of three years before the beginning of the chancellorship until three years after that was compared using the Friedman test. Considering the starting point of the chancellorship, the data showed that the mean number of published articles per year decreased significantly after beginning the chancellorship. Among the chancellors, active chancellors (having a minimum of one article each year), male chancellors, and those from North America indicated a decrease in the number of publications. A major limitation was that in some universities, governance falls under vice-chancellor(s) rather than chancellor (s). The study underscores the difficulty of balancing administrative responsibilities, such as university chancellorship, with academic pursuits. For the first time, the results revealed that beginning chancellorship negatively impacts publication output.
