Abstract: Existing and potential scholars often ask whether it is possible to predict which articles will ultimately have large impact. A series of hypotheses were considered based on a citation analysis of 65 articles published from 1980 to 2003 regarding international joint ventures. It was found that a paper will tend to receive more citations as its age and the number of performance measures increases. Theory building papers tend to have more citations, followed by descriptive papers and finally hypothesis testing papers. Papers that appeared in tier 1 journals, and that considered theory in any way, explained a larger amount of the variance. Sample size was not an important predictor and explained little variance. Number of authors played no role. Collectively, the seven variables considered explained slightly less than two thirds of the total variance. Copyright Springer Science + Business Media, Inc. 2006
