“…To establish the suitability of some of the articles, a cursory review of their introduction was also carried out. To ensure that the publications are of acceptable quality, publications found in lesser known journals based on their low impact factor (Franke, et al, 1990) were excluded, after which full texts were obtained by downloading soft copies. Much as journal impact factor is not an absolute measure of the quality of an academic paper, an article with a high impact factor suggests that it has been cited by many researchers, who themselves are prime consumers of the articles (Saha et al, 2003).…”

Research into Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Ghana generally, has seen increased scholarly attention but same cannot be said of the specific area of CSR and International Business (IB), ironically though much of the data on CSR research comes from IBs. This paper therefore reviews existing literature on CSR in Ghana with the objective of identifying gaps and developing a framework to guide future research in CSR and IB because of the peculiarities. The paper underscores the varying and conflicting interests of host and home nations as well as international standards that IBs must navigate in their CSR activities, and applies Impression Management theory to develop a framework for future studies in the subject area in Africa and emerging economies.

“…There have already been some research in this area. Most researchers aggregate determinants of citations to different categories such as author level (Allison and Long 1990;Long et al 1998), institution level (Stahl et al 1988;Trieschmann et al 2000) or journal level (Franke et al 1990;Podsakoff, Mackenzie et al 2005). Generally, these researchers start with a collection of papers selected from particular journals in particular disciplines -law (Ayres and Vars 2000), marketing (Stremersch et al 2007), management (Judge et al 2007), ecology (Leimu and Koricheva 2005) and chemical engineering (Peters and Van Raan 1994) -and then analyse the roles of various factors on influencing number of citations.…”

Abstract:The number of citations is becoming an increasingly popular index for measuring the impact of a scholar's research or the quality of an academic department. One obvious question is: what are the factors that influence the number of citations that a paper receives? This study investigates the number of citations received by papers published in six Management Science journals. It considers factors that relate to the author(s), the article itself, and the journal. The results show that the strongest factor is the journal itself but other factors are also significant including the length of the paper, the number of references, the status of the first author's institution, and the type of paper, especially if it is a review. Overall, this study provides some insights into the determinants of a paper's impact which is helpful for particular stakeholders in making important decisions.

“…Importantly, although the relative merits of these two approaches are the subject of considerable dispute (e.g., Bensman, 2007;Tahai & Meyer, 1999), the correlations between journal rankings based on these different measures are generally large (> .50) and positive (Franke, Edlund & Oster, 1990;Lewis, Hodge & Lacasse, 2011;Lewis, Templeton & Luo, 2007;Saha, Saint & Christakis, 2003). This suggests that they tap into common underlying constructs (although the extent to which the constructs in question reflect journal quality is highly contestable).…”

ABSTRACTMany lists that purport to gauge the quality of journals in management and organization studies (MOS) are based on the judgments of experts in the field. This paper develops an Identity Concerns Model (ICM) that suggests that such judgments are likely to be shaped by the personal and social identities of evaluators. The model was tested in a study in which 168 editorial board members rated 44 MOS journals. In line with the ICM, respondents rated journal quality more highly to the extent that a given journal reflected their personal concerns (associated with having published more papers in that journal) and the concerns of a relevant ingroup (associated with membership of the journal's editorial board, or a particular disciplinary or geographical background). However, judges' ratings of journals in which they had published were more favorable when those journals had a low quality reputation and their ratings of journals that reflected their geographical and disciplinary affiliation were more favorable when those journals had a high quality reputation. Our findings are thus consistent with the view that identity concerns come to the fore in journal ratings when there is either a need to protect against personal identity threat or a meaningful opportunity to promote social identity.

This suggests that in spite of the debate over whether the journal can be regarded as a meaningful unit of analysis (Starbuck, 2005) there is a degree of consensus in MOS th...
