“…In order to analyze the citation patterns of previous scholarly research, citation analysis creates research mosaics that, in turn, reveal a previously invisible disciplinary network. Hence, citation analysis essentially tracks the intellectual footprint of prior research to establish its intellectual heritage (Tahai and Rigsby, 1998).…”

“…Objectivity is typically regarded as the major strength of citation analysis (see [BROWN & GARDNER, 1985A;JONES & AL., 1996;TAHAI & RIGSBY, 1998;BALLAS & THEOHARAKIS, 2003]). In addition, citations reveal researchers' preferences for individual journals as sources of information and the fact that researchers cite specific journals also suggests that they are familiar with these journals [TAHAI & RIGSBY, 1998].…”

A comparison of overall and sub-area journal influence: The case of the accounting literature

2008

In most scientific disciplines, a number of divergent and often highly specialized research areas are examined, which is reflected in substantial differences among journal scopes. Using the accounting literature as an example, we argue that this diversity in scopes should be considered when assessing journal influence. Concretely, we examine a citation-based structural influence measure for a sample of 41 accounting journals. Next, we identify sub-areas in the accounting literature and we explore journal influence in these sub-areas. Our results clearly demonstrate the importance of distinguishing between overall and sub-area influence. In addition, we show that sub-areas should be identified using a fuzzy clustering procedure.

“…One common method is to calculate an impact factor which measures the average number of times a journal's typical article is cited from a specified set of journals over a specified period of time. Prominent examples of citation based rankings include the following: Laband and Piette (1994) rate 130 journals in economics and finance; Tahai and Rigsby (1998) rate 49 accounting-related journals; Tahai and Meyer (1999) rate 65 management-related journals; and Baumgartner and Pieters (2003) rate 49 marketing-related journals. Of course, many journals have such little impact that they do not make it onto these lists of rated journals.…”

In this paper I analyze representations of scholarly output for the purpose of identifying corrupt practices. Accordingly, the components of output-price, quantity, and time-are examined. A key part of the analysis is recognizing the unique role that the scholarly community plays in scholarship and the implications this has for the roles of groups other than the scholarly community. Finally, a survey of students indicates that particular representations of scholarly output are viewed by students as unethical.
