AFFILIATION OF AUTHORS IN TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS ACADEMIC JOURNALS : ANOTHER LOOK

Abstract

This is the third update of a study begun 20 years ago to measure the relative productivity of various academic institutions in the fields of logistics, supply chain management and transportation. The productivity measure is the number of articles published in selected journals that report on these fields. It analyzed the share of articles in each journal to have been written by an academic author, which universities have the most productive faculty in terms of publishing in these areas, and, more recently, whether the journal titles used in the survey should be changed or added to. The major finding is that the identities of relevant journals has evolved, and the academics who contribute articles to them have shifted their publishing as the list has changed. The ranking of schools with programs in these areas suggest the need for a core group of faculty to create a critical mass of productivity. And schools that do not specialize in the managerial aspects of logistics and supply chain management do not rank as highly. Also, more universities outside of North America are represented in this latest survey, suggesting a greater reliance on publication in leading journals for tenure in overseas universities.
