Drivers of research impact: evidence from the top three finance journals

We study the characteristics of all published papers in the top three finance journals (JF, JFE and RFS), and how these paper characteristics affect the number of citations in Google Scholar and the Web of Science database. First, we find the characteristics in the universalist perspective remain constant while the characteristics in the constructivist and presentation perspectives increase over time. Second, some characteristics are significantly different between the high-impact and the low-impact papers. Third, paper quality, research method, journal placement and paper age are the most important drivers. Last, different drivers play different roles in different journals.     

GRADING JOURNALS IN ECONOMICS: THE ABCS OF THE ABDC

Many institutions and governments grade academic journals for the evaluation of research. In this paper, we implement a multi-bibliometric methodology for the evaluation of such a list of journal grades. We examine the grades assigned by the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) for over 750 journals in the fields of economics and statistics. Firstly, we generate up to 48 bibliometric-based grades for each journal based on the grade distribution implied by the ABDC. Secondly, we categorize the bibliometrics employing a cluster analysis of an interrater agreement statistic. Thirdly, we present a visualization of the consistency of the grading by journal. Finally, we list those journals where the majority of the matched bibliometrics indicate a higher or lower grade than their ABDC grade.     

Key institutions in business and management education research

The authors investigate institutional productivity in business and management education (BME) research based on the analysis of 4,464 articles published by 7,210 authors across 17 BME journals over a 10-year period, involving approximately 1,900 schools worldwide. Departing from traditional disciplinary silos, they examine the BME research field as a whole by including all traditional business disciplinary areas and producing two top 100 rankings, one based on raw number of author publications and the other based on weighted scores reflecting journal quality and coauthorship.     

Academic labour,journal ranking lists and the politics of knowledge production in marketing

In this paper, we engage with the rising importance of journal ranking lists. We explore the pressure these place on marketing academics and the politics of knowledge production, stressing academic game-playing, careerism, and paradigmatic homogeneity. We appreciate that scholars are disciplined by these lists, their line managers, and reaffirm list power through their own patterns of self-management. Nonetheless, marketing academics should avoid making the naïve assumption that the appearance of a paper in a highly rated journal necessarily serves as a proxy for ‘quality’. Publication in a particular outlet does not transform the ultimate contribution being made in any substantive fashion. We provide an extensive critique of the function and impact of journal lists. However, it is also recognised that these are very important for members of the marketing community. As such, we explain our reasons for contesting the recent regrading of the Journal of Marketing Management (JMM) by a prominent journal list and underline the changes that have been made to the Journal since the beginning of the current editorial term. Finally, the support of prominent scholars among our thought community for the policies being implemented is highlighted and we underscore the rigour of contributions to the Journal, the review process, the rising citations, downloads and truly global readership of the JMM.     

中西文化心理差异与期刊论文摘要翻译中的语篇重构

汉英两个不同的民族,由于其地理生活环境,宗教信仰,生活方式的巨大差异,在漫长的历史发展过程中,逐渐形成了各自不同的思维模式。从期刊论文摘要的翻译来看,其最大的障碍就是思维差异所导致的语篇特点的不同。本文分析了中西思维模式的差异及其在汉英摘要语篇中的体现,包括语篇结构,语篇衔接手段和语篇的文体色彩三个方面,探讨期刊论文摘要翻译中语篇重构这一翻译方法,以期保证摘要译文的质量。     

《广西财经学院学报》特色栏目学术影响力分析

为了了解《广西财经学院学报》特色栏目刊登的文章的学术影响力，笔者选取2010年发表在两个特色栏目内的文章为对象，在一年多的时间内，分别在不同的时点对其被引频次和下栽量进行了统计分析。结果发现，从稍长时期来看，这两个特色栏目对提升本学报影响力的作用有限。如何进一步提高学术刊物的质量，需更多的思考。     

论全媒体对传统期刊的影响

全媒体时代已经到来，传统期刊的编辑、销售、市场定位、整体传播等各方面要与新媒体进行联合。全媒体时代的期刊经营要与当前的技术创新紧密结合，从而增强期刊核心竞争力。面对期刊全媒体的表达形式，我们不仅要做好人才储备，也要处理好新媒体运作和传统纸质媒介的关系，并进行必要的技术革新，同时还要防范一些升级的误区。     

The UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008) and retail research output

The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise in the United Kingdom provides a further opportunity to consider changing trends and patterns in retail research, following on a previous commentary in this journal. This comparison shows that pressures continue to mount and are impacting retail knowledge creation and dissemination practices, not least in terms of those engaged in retail research, the topics and approaches utilised, the publication tactics and strategies and thus the standing of retail research in the United Kingdom and its reputation internationally.
