Selection for membership on the editorial board of an academic journal is recognition of research productivity and achievement. Hence, the research productivity of board members can signal the strength of an underlying journal, the important journals within a discipline and set standards for research excellence. In this study, the research productivity of members of three highly influential academic real estate journals - Real Estate Economics, the Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics and the Journal of Real Estate Research - is evaluated to determine the real estate discipline's preferred publication outlets and to generate benchmarks for real estate research achievement.
