INSTITUTIONAL AUTHORSHIP FREQUENCY IN MISQ: IMPLICATIONS FOR INCOMING GRADUATE STUDENTS
Keywords:
Authorship, frequency, graduate school, institutional affiliation, teaching position.Abstract
Individuals considering entering a doctoral program and pursuing a career in academics know that one of the requirements for a successful career will be a sustained stream of published research. Depending on their desired institutional affiliation, the publication outlets for their research must meet certain criteria, often a bit unique to the chosen institution. Likewise, new doctoral graduates know that publishing from their dissertation and a continuing stream of published scholarly artifacts is critical to a successful career. This study examines the university affiliation of authors published in Management Information Systems Quarterly (MISQ) over a fifteen year period from 1991 to 2005. We examine the institutional affiliation of the authors and evaluate institutional affiliation concentration of published research. We conclude that authorship affiliation may be a relevant factor to the decision of where to attend graduate school or pursue that first post-graduate teaching position.
