Characteristics of Journal Authorship by Academic Librarians

Abstract

A widely held belief that academic librarians are strongly encouraged to publish in order to retain employment may exist.The present study examines authorship in thirty-six library and information science journals over a five-year period and finds that a small proportion of fouryear institutions is responsible for formal contributions to the literature.Furthermore, of those individuals contributing to the literature, the vast majority make only one contribution in the five-year period.
