Quote
        "Some interesting differences however, do arrive from the
partitioned data. First, senior and non-senior staff have significantly
different attitudes to peer reviews; senior staff view them as
significantly more important than non-senior staff, Perhaps senior staff
are more familiar with the journals being ranked and with the strengths
and weaknesses of the two methods. Alternatively being, on average, more
extensively networked, they may have more trust in the judgment of their
peers.
        Second, staff from new universities regard both citation indices and
peer review as being significantly more important than staff from old
universities."

AB This short note adds to the debate on the most effective way in
which to measure research quality. A survey of UK accounting
academics shows that peer reviews are perceived to be more
important than citation indices. This result is also true when
the respondents were partitioned by seniority, institution and
research activity. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights
