“…The instruments used by editors to attract the best papers are the reputation of the journal, the reduction in transaction costs involved in the publication process, but also favoritism for individuals or institutions (Laband and Piette 1994;Medoff 2003). Editors can also have some power in determining their own citation rates (Campanario 1996;Lange and Frensch 1999).…”

The exploratory analysis developed in this paper relies on the hypothesis that each editor possesses some power in the definition of the editorial policy of her journal. Consequently if the same scholar sits on the board of editors of two journals, those journals could have some common elements in their editorial policies. The proximity of the editorial policies of two scientific journals can be assessed by the number of common editors sitting on their boards. A database of all editors of ECONLIT journals is used. The structure of the network generated by interlocking editorship is explored by applying the instruments of network analysis. Evidence has been found of a compact network containing different components. This is interpreted as the result of a plurality of perspectives about the appropriate methods for the investigation of problems and the construction of theories within the domain of economics

“…La participación de miembros de los equipos editoriales en la publicación de artículos en las revistas de las que forman parte es un hecho evidente, si bien ésta es muy dispar entre los miembros de una revista y otra, variando desde apenas un 1% de la revista Spanish Journal of Psychology a un 47,6% de la revista Behavioral Psychology -Revista de Psicología Conductual-, porcentajes que se encuentran dentro de lo apuntado por otros trabajos (Campanario, 1996;Fuentes y otros, 2012;Kawano y otros, 1993). Además, esta participación se mantiene estable a lo largo de los años estudiados, en torno al 16,5% aproximadamente.…”

Resumen: El objetivo del presente trabajo es profundizar en los hábitos de publicación de los miembros de los comités editoriales de las revistas iberoamericanas de psicología recogidas en la Web of Science (WoS) entre los años 2013 y 2015 a través de diferentes indicadores bibliométricos. Los resultados revelan una disparidad en la participación de los miembros del comité editorial de una revista a otra, un menor tiempo de aceptación de los artículos y un mayor número de citas, principalmente en las bases de datos Web of Science y BIOSIS, por parte de los miembros del comité editorial. Muchos de los miembros de los equipos editoriales son investigadores de reconocido prestigio en su disciplina, por lo tanto, su participación a través de la publicación de artículos en las revistas de las que forman parte es un aval de éxito para la publicación, dado el número de citas que reciben sus trabajos.Palabras clave: Revistas de psicología; Web of Science; comités editoriales; producción científica; revistas iberoamericanas. Benefits of the relations between editorial board members and scholarly journals. The case of IberoAmerican journals of psychologyAbstract: The objective of the present work is to delve into the publication habits of members of editorial committees of Ibero-American journals of psychology, collected in the Web of Science (WoS) between the years 2013 and 2015. Different bibliometric indicators were used and the results reveal a disparity in the participation of editorial board members from one journal to another, including a shorter article acceptance time and a larger number of citations, mainly in Web of Science and BIOSIS. Many of the editorial board members are researchers of recognized prestige in their discipline; therefore, by publishing articles in the journals in which they play a role, they offer a guarantee of success, given the number of citations that their works receive.

“…In the five years after publication, 69 percent of authors with editorial connections were cited whereas 63 percent of those with no editorial connections were never cited. Campanario (1996) Why does special treatment work? Editors can invite papers from researchers who have been successful in the past, perhaps asking them to study designated topics.…”

The Ombudsman: Reaping Benefits from Management Research: Lessons from the Forecasting Principles Project

It is often claimed that managers do not read serious research papers in journals. If true, this neglect would seem to pose a problem because journals are the dominant source of knowledge in management science. By examining results from the forecasting principles project, which was designed to summarize all useful knowledge in forecasting, we found that journals have provided 89 percent of the useful knowledge. However, journal papers relevant to practice are difficult to find because fewer than three percent of papers on forecasting contain useful findings. That turns out to be about one useful paper per month over the last halfcentury. Once found, the papers are difficult to interpret. Managers need low-cost, easily accessible sources that summarize advice (principles) from research; journals do not meet this need. To increase the rate of progress in developing and communicating principles, researchers, journal editors, textbook writers, software developers, web site designers, and practitioners should make some changes. Some examples: Researchers should directly study forecasting principles. Journal editors should actively solicit papers -invited submissions were about 20 times better than standard submissions at producing useful findings that were often cited, and does so at a lower cost. Web-site and software developers should provide practitioners with low-cost ways to use principles. Practitioners should apply the principles that are currently available.
