An Examination of the Globalisation of Authorship in Publishing in 20 Leading Marketing Journals
No full textPurpose of this paper is to examine the global contribution of academics to marketing literature between 1999 and 2003, based on an examination of the location of academics institution of employment, as reported in published works. The data is used to evaluate the global dispersion of publishing.\ud
Design/approach. The paper uses the method of content analysis where the authorship of all articles in 20 leading marketing journals between 1999 and 2003 is examined. An empirical examination of performance was undertaken across geographic regions. There was also an examination of whether the quality of journal affected regional performance.\ud
Findings. The research found that there is a significant "bias" of authorship within the 20 journals examined, with the majority of works published by academics at institutions in North America. There is some variation in regional performance based on the type of journal examined. Limitations. There was no attempt to empirically examine why differences might exist. The study only focused on a sample of 20 English language journals over 5 years. These journals have been included in studies that list the leading marketing journal for US and European academics. Practical Implications. The research suggests that there may in fact be regional differences in publishing behaviour. It is unclear if these differences relate to variations in the "objectives" of institutions within each country or other factors, such as the North American publish-or-perish mentality. The research posits that a marketing knowledge may be unnecessarily restricted, if there is a bias against non-North American perspectives. Originality. While there have been other works examining research performance of institutions, there has been limited examination in marketing on the nation in which authors work and none have used a broad cross-section of journals. This work takes a global "snapshot" of national research performance within marketing
An Evaluation Of SFAS No. 71: Regulated Enterprises
No full textIn December 1982, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 71 which became effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1983. This statement regulates the accounting practices of regulated enterprises. The major controversial aspects of SFAS No. 71 are: (1) requiring special accounting for regulated industry, (2) capitalization of future revenues, (3) treatment of refund, and (4) impacts of SFAS No. 71 on financial reporting and rate cases. Given these controversies and new developments in the electric utility industry, the FASB has issued an exposure draft to revise some of the provisions of SFAS No. 71. The revisions as stipulated in December 19, 1985 exposure draft amend the accounting treatment of phase-in-plan, abandonments, and disallowances of costs of newly completed plants. Questions such as, whether Generally Acceptable Accounting Principle (GAAP) should be formulated for each industry (e.g. regulated/nonregulated), impact of SFAS No. 71 on financial reporting and rate cases, and accounting treatments of refund are not forcefully addressed in the exposure draft. As an input to current deliberations on SFAS No. 71 this study explores investor owned utility company’s opinions concerning the controversial aspect of the statement specified above. In addition, the study reviews major issues addressed in the exposure draft amending SFAS No. 71
Effectiveness of technical analysis on Singapore stock market
No full textSince the bullish sentiment beginning in 1992 in the Singapore stock market, investment in equity has been a popular topic. The lure for quick profit had attracted many new and less experienced investors to the stock market. Most of these investors are rather unsophisticated in their trading strategies. Among the many approaches adopted by traders in the forecasting of price trend, technical analysis had always been widely acclaimed to be a highly accurate tool. It has proven to be effective in the more developed capital market based on empirical studies. However, its effectiveness in the local context is still uncertain.ACCOUNTANC
The Quest for Citations: Drivers of Article Impact
No full textWhy do some articles become building blocks for future scholars, while many others remain unnoticed? We aim to answer this question by contrasting, synthesizing and simultaneously testing three scientometric perspectives – universalism, social constructivism and presentation – on the influence of article and author characteristics on article citations. To do so, we study all articles published in a sample of five major journals in marketing from 1990 to 2002 that are central to the discipline. We count the number of citations each of these articles has received and regress this count on an extensive set of characteristics of the article (i.e. article quality, article domain, title length, the use of attention grabbers and expositional clarity), and the author (i.e. author visibility and author personal promotion). We find that the number of citations an article in the marketing discipline receives, depends upon “what one says†(quality and domain), on “who says it†(author visibility and personal promotion) and not so much on “how one says it†(title length, the use of attention grabbers, and expositional clarity). Our insights contribute to the marketing literature and are relevant to scientific stakeholders, such as the management of scientific journals and individual academic scholars, as they strive to maximize citations. They are also relevant to marketing practitioners. They inform practitioners on characteristics of the academic journals in marketing and their relevance to decisions they face. On the other hand, they also raise challenges towards making our journals accessible and relevant to marketing practitioners: (1) authors visible to academics are not necessarily visible to practitioners; (2) the readability of an article may hurt academic credibility and impact, while it may be instrumental in influencing practitioners; (3) it remains questionable whether articles that academics assess to be of high quality are also managerially relevant.Impact;Citation Analysis;Referencing;Scientometrics;Cite
