This section of the periodical The Accounting Review is devoted to matters of particular interest to accounting instructors. What is the value or usefulness of academic writing? There are probably few words that create as much difficulty and disagreement as the word "value." As a group, accountants are pragmatists (i.e. if it is useful and works, it is good; if it is not useful or does not work, it is not good); therefore, useful could be substituted for "Value." Now to rephrase the question into two parts: Is writing by the academician useful to him? Is writing by the academician useful to the reader? Each of these questions can be broken into two parts what the writer or reader thinks he will get out of a particular article and what in fact he actually does get out of it. This paper will attempt to give a preliminary answer to one part of the questions raised. It will try to say what the academic writer think he wilt get out of publishing an article. To attempt to answer this question a survey was made asking why teachers of accounting write articles.
