Aim To analyse research publication performance of Australian and New Zealand professors and associate professors of nursing and midwifery, and compare with 2016 data. Methods A search of university websites was conducted to identify all nursing and midwifery professoriate in Australia and New Zealand. Each individual was then searched in the Scopus database to identify individual total citations, h-index, number of publications, first author Field Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) and overall FWCI. Comparisons with 2016 data were also undertaken. Results A total of 304 academics were included, comprising 270 from Australia and 34 from New Zealand, and 169 full professors and 135 associate professors. Overall, total publications and citations had increased. Maximum h-index had increased; however, median only changed slightly. Conclusion The study provides contemporary data that can support cases for academic promotion along with other benchmarking activities. Impact Findings reflect the current research publication performance of the Australian and New Zealand professoriate and provide invaluable data for academic benchmarking in those countries and also in many others. Patient or Public Contribution No patient or public contribution.
