“…Few, if any, such studies could be found in management literature, though there are similar studies in other disciplines (Johnson, 1997;Laband & Sophocleus, 1985;Peters & van Rann, 1994). This study aims to fill this gap and provide a new direction for future citation analyses in the area of international management.…”

“…There are citation analyses in other disciplines that attempt to find the determinants of citations as an endogenous variable on an article level (Johnson, 1997;Laband & Sophocleus, 1985;Leimu & Koricheva, 2005;Peters & van Rann, 1994). While Leimu & Koricheva (2005) studied the correlation between various determinants and citations, others (Johnson, 1997;Laband & Sophocleus, 1985;Peters & van Rann, 1994) used regression methods to identify the importance of various determinants given the whole set of determinants.…”

“…Lovaglia (1989) found that the quality of the publishing journal was the strongest predictor of citations. Laband & Sophocleus (1985) investigated 5880 articles published between 1974 and 1976 and found that journal quality was a significant determinant for citations. Johnson (1997) drew the same conclusion using economics papers authored by Yale faculty for the entire 1976-1987 period.…”

Variables not included here include author gender, paper length, number of references, years of experience of authors, and affiliated university, among others (Johnson, 1997;Laband & Sophocleus, 1985;Leimu & Koricheva, 2005;Peters & van Rann, 1994).…”

Existing and potential scholars often ask whether it is possible to predict which articles will ultimately have large impact. A series of hypotheses were considered based on a citation analysis of 65 articles published from 1980 to 2003 regarding international joint ventures. It was found that a paper will tend to receive more citations as its age and the number of performance measures increases. Theory building papers tend to have more citations, followed by descriptive papers and finally hypothesis testing papers. Papers that appeared in tier 1 journals, and that considered theory in any way, explained a larger amount of the variance. Sample size was not an important predictor and explained little variance. Number of authors played no role. Collectively, the seven variables considered explained slightly less than two thirds of the total variance. Copyright Springer Science + Business Media, Inc. 2006

This article analyses the research productivity of more than 200 individuals in academe with a PhD in economics and finance from (mostly) Australian universities. We find the number of publications accumulates linearly with experience, while citations increase exponentially, pointing to network effects. Panel regressions indicate: (1) the key role of experience in determining research outcomes; (2) the usual quadratic approach substantially under‐estimates the role of diminishing returns to experience; (3) the university where an individual works is mostly unimportant for publications and citations. ‘Prime academic age’, when research has maximum impact, is attained about 11 years after the PhD.
