TLDR
The Brillouin Information Measure can be used to describe important properties of the co‐author graph and other communication‐graphs to order points in terms of their contribution to a favorable communication‐structure.Abstract:
The lines of a co-author graph represent channels of communication through which information has been and may continue to be informally exchanged. The Brillouin Information Measure can be used to describe important properties of the co-author graph and other communication-graphs. The “connectedness” of a graph can be represented on a scale in which one limiting value signifies a connected graph and the other limiting value signifies a graph in which all points are isolated. Important points can be distinguished from all other points in a communication-graph. These important points are defined mathematically and are called synthetic cutpoints. A measure of importance can be assigned to each point in a communication-graph. This measure can be used to order points in terms of their contribution to a favorable communication-structure.read more

Communicating MIS research: a citation study of journal influence
TL;DR: This work examines journal influence in communicating MIS research over a 9-year period using citation analyses, researcher perceptions, and publishing patterns of top MIS research universities to identify a cohesive stable group of highly influential journals which can reasonably be called an MIS core.

Citation footprints on the sands of time: An analysis of idea migrations in strategic management
TL;DR: This paper examined knowledge flows to and from the Strategic Management Journal (SMJ) during the period 1980-2009 and provided a detailed mapping of the evolution of the intellectual structure of the field and identified its input-output dependency relationships with other fields.

A bibliometric analysis of collaboration in a medical specialty
Elisabeth Logan,William M. Shaw +1 more
TL;DR: There is some evidence that bibliometric structures determined from the coauthor relationship may be consistent with networks of communication, which can become a basic tool for communication research.

Source or storer? IB's performance in a knowledge network
TL;DR: A knowledge network composed of 39 high-impact journals that represent the domains of management, marketing, finance, economics, operations, IT, accounting, human resources, organizational behavior and IB is established, indicating that IB journals functioned as storers, not sources, of ideas within the sampled knowledge network over the studied period.
