The influence of co-authorship on article impact in OR/MS/OM and the exchange of knowledge with Finance in the twenty-first century

Abstract

The article is motivated by two related research questions about research activity in the Operations Research / Management Science / Operations Management (OR/MS/OM) and Finance disciplines. highlights the potential for a wider collaboration among researchers, particularly Finance academics exploring how various OR/MS/OM techniques can be adopted or adapted. We discover that the ranking of OR/MS/OM journals is determined more by the extent they are cited in other disciplines, and observe a gradual rise in self-perpetuating behavior in OR/MS/OM. JEL classification: C00; G00

Data envelopment analysis in financial services: a citations network analysis of banks, insurance companies and money market funds

“…Since the work of Garfield et al (1964), the study of citations to scientific publications has received increasing attention from network analysts, and the network analysis literature includes a growing number of contributions on identification of the so called main path, that is, the main flow of ideas underlying the field of analysis (Necmi Kemal Avkiran and Alpert 2015;Nerur et al 2008;Whitley and Galliers 2007); technological developments and trajectories in various scientific fields (Barberá-Tomás et al 2011;Bekkers and Martinelli 2012;Bhupatiraju et al 2012;Breschi and Lissoni 2003;Epicoco 2013;Fontana et al 2009;Martinelli 2012;Mina et al 2007); and emerging knowledge trends within disciplines (Ding et al 2013;Emrouznejad and Marra 2014;Fan et al 2014;Lampe and Hilgers 2014; J. S. Rotolo et al 2013). Network analysis assumes that, in a citations network (see Figure 1), document B cites document A, in other words, B relies on A to some extent.…”
