The Department, based on a study by <a href=\"https:\/\/public.tableau.com\/app\/profile\/w.p.carey.business.intelligence\/viz\/FinanceRankings\/Fin-Rankings\">Arizona State University<\/a> for publications in the top academic journals in the field of Finance, is ranked 187 (50) worldwide (in Europe) for the period 2010-2020.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Also, a study conducted by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.byuaccounting.net\/rankings\/profile\/sandlogin.php\">Brigham Young University<\/a> on the quality of research in Accounting based on the number of publications in the leading academic journals in the industry, the Department is ranked 186 (17) worldwide (in Europe) for the period 2000-2020, in Financial Empirical Accounting research (archival financial research in accounting).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is clarified that these studies rank the universities based on the absolute number of publications and not on the number of publications per staff, ie without any adjustment based on the size of the Department. This fact works in favor of the large Departments, which makes the success of the University of Cyprus even greater, given we are a small Department, with 11 members of academic staff. Also, the distinction of the Department of Accounting and Finance is even more important since the academics of the Department carry out their research along with a high teaching load.<\/p>\n<p>Publication output aims the top-tier international journals such as those on the Financial Times list.
