“…Researchers have shown that a manuscript's topic (Judge et al, 2007;Stremersch et al, 2007), empiricism (Bergh et al, 2006;Judge et al, 2007), use of theory (Aguinis, Dalton, Bosco, Pierce, & Dalton, 2009;Colquitt & Zapata-Phelan, 2007;Judge et al, 2007), length (Bergh et al, 2006;Judge et al, 2007), number of references (Bergh et al, 2006;Judge et al, 2007), and research contributions (Judge et al, 2007;Newman & Cooper, 1993) affect citation outcomes. Germane to the present investigation into the factors that affect journal quality, Judge et al (2007) concluded that a manuscript's methodological rigor, clarity, and coherence predicted journal prestige and journal citation rate.…”
