Publication records and tenure decisions in the field of strategic management
Seung Ho Park,Michael E. Gordon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a bibliometric study was performed on the publication records of 96 doctorates in the field whose first post-degree job was in academics, finding that the number of papers published was related to the likelihood of receiving tenure, despite the fact that they had produced more papers during the first 5 years than male faculty members and had higher citation rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a new economics of science
Dasgupta Partha,Paul A. David +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make use of insights from the theory of games of incomplete information to synthesize the classic approach of Arrow and Nelson in examining the implications of the characteristics of information for allocative efficiency in research activities, on the one hand, with the functionalist analysis of institutional structures, reward systems and behavioral norms of "open science" communities associated with the sociology of science in the tradition of Merton.
Journal ArticleDOI
A general theory of bibliometric and other cumulative advantage processes
TL;DR: It is shown that such a stochastic law is governed by the Beta Function, containing only one free parameter, and this is approximated by a skew or hyperbolic distribution of the type that is widespread in bibliometrics and diverse social science phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cumulative Advantage as a Mechanism for Inequality: A Review of Theoretical and Empirical Developments
TL;DR: Cumulative advantage is a general mechanism for inequality across any temporal process (e.g., life course, family generations) in which a favorable relative position becomes a resource that produces further relative gains as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
What do citation counts measure? A review of studies on citing behavior
Lutz Bornmann,Hans-Dieter Daniel +1 more
TL;DR: The general tendency of the results of the empirical studies makes it clear that citing behavior is not motivated solely by the wish to acknowledge intellectual and cognitive influences of colleague scientists, since the individual studies reveal also other, in part non‐scientific, factors that play a part in the decision to cite.
