Contributions to financial crisis research: an assessment of the literature in Social Science Citation Index journals from 1990 to 2008

Abstract

Research in the field of financial crisis has generated a considerable amount of literature in the past, yet there has neither been any study to assess the contributions to the literature made by individuals or institutions, nor any to measure the impact of the articles and researchers. This study represents an attempt to: (1) investigate the major journals in publishing financial crisis research, (2) assess the contributions of individual researchers and institutions using the credited contribution approach and (3) measure the impact of individual publications and individual researchers on the financial crisis literature through citation analysis, based on the publications in Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) journals from 1990 to 2008. The findings provide a useful benchmark for assessing individual and institutional research productivity, and trends for future research and venues for publications are identified

A Scientometric Overview of Global Dinoflagellate Research

“…It is likely that this divergence may have been induced by the financial crisis of 2008. The implemented interventions by public authorities to alleviate the consequences of the financial crises resulted in multiple financial cuts for scientific research of several countries [31] with a presumably time delayed effect on dinoflagellate research output. In summary, a linear regression model expressed well the growth of the number of research papers on phytoplankton between 1991 and 2013 [32].…”

Local government actors’ making sense of the financial crisis

“…Nevertheless, the crisis is often described as unexpected, although it could be more accurately said that those who did warn of it were simply not heeded. Much has been written since the crisis about possible explanations of it (Moh et al, 2012), its connection with accounting research and models (Arnold, 2009;Bezemer, 2010), the challenges it poses to auditors (Sikka, 2009), and how the media used rhetoric to describe it (Riaz et al, 2011). Mainstream economists and their simplified models have also been criticized for their inability to predict what happened (Agarwal et al, 2009;Bezemer, 2011).…”
