The purpose of this study was to update previous work, determine changes in publication patterns, identify music scholars of research productivity (as determined by publication rate), and identify the most productive institutions by examining the most recent 21 years of first-tier research publications in music education and music therapy. Results indicated that many researchers listed for their work ending in 1992 do not appear in the 1993-2013 period, though there were five notable exceptions. The main reason behind this change in productivity might be the passage of time (e.g. retirements, changes in position or administrative responsibilities). Patterns were noted in the most active / highest ranked institutions. Twelve institutions were on the lists in 1992 and in the current list. The ranking of the top three remained exactly the same, while the positioning of the other nine seemed to represent more fluidity of publication rate. All institutional data varied with their parallel changes in individual faculty.
