Journal Publication Records as a Measure of Research Performance in Industrial Relations

Michael E. Gordon and Julia E. Purvis

ILR Review, 1991, vol. 45, issue 1, 194-201

Abstract: Using data from the Social Sciences Citation Index Journal Citation Reports, this study tracks the publication records of 788 scholars in the four U.S. industrial relations journals that have the most frequently cited articles in the field, as well as in eight top journals in related fields, for the period 1983–88. The authors construct percentile rankings for these published scholars based on the number of articles published. They argue that such an analysis could provide university review committees with one fairly objective measure of “research excellence†for use in promotion and tenure decisions.
