Other journals across various disciplines have also published similar articles to determine research impact and trends in published work (e.g. Williams 1985; Schwert 1993; Laband & Piette 1994; Johnson & Podsakoff 1994; Colquitt 1997; Chan, Karolyi & Rhee Rhee , Syngman 1875-1965.

These studies provide further motivation for understanding the role and impact that an important academic journal has on Australian management research. Harzing (2005) examines the publishing attributes of Australian academics since the mid 1990's and finds that over time there has been an increase in the volume of research output, coupled with a decline in impact (or quality). Relative to other disciplines, Harzing (2005) also shows a widening gap between the quantity and quality of economic and business research. Jarnecic, Segara and Westerholm (2005) studied the productivity of researchers in the finance discipline at Australian and New Zealand New Zealand (zē`lənd), island country (2005 est. pop. 4,035,000), 104,454 sq mi (270,534 sq km), in the S Pacific Ocean, over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) SE of Australia.

Given Australia's size, this result is above the per-capita average. In this study we report that the AJM has published 406 research articles, written by 458 different authors and co-authors, who are affiliated with 93 different universities and other institutions. The top four contributing authors across the AJM's thirty volumes are Philip Brown, Philip Yetton, Ray Ball, and Terry Walter. In the Journal's last ten volumes, the top two contributing authors were Robert Faff and Raymond da Silva Rosa. Probably of little surprise is that the AGSM is the highest contributing institution throughout the Journal's thirty-year history. Half of the Journal's pages are contributed by six institutions; the AGSM, The University of New South Wales The University of New South Wales, also known as UNSW or colloquially as New South, is a university situated in Kensington, a suburb in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. , The University of Western Australia Western Australia, state (1991 pop. 1,409,965), 975,920 sq mi (2,527,633 sq km), Australia, comprising the entire western part of the continent.

Because of the drop in ranking, University of Melbourne is currently behind four Asian universities - Beijing University, , for both the last thirty years and last ten years. Finally, this study shows that finance is the most highly represented research area in the Journal, and has experienced an increase in representation in recent years. The remainder of the study proceeds as follows. The next section presents a summary of AJM publications over the last three decades to provide some background data with respect to the Journal. Section three analyses and ranks the contribution of authors to the Journal, and section four provides similar analysis of institutional contribution.

Publications in the AJM Over 30 Years This study compiled a comprehensive database from EBSCO EBSCO Elton B. Stephens Company of all papers published in the AJM since the first volume of 1976, to December December: see month. 2005 (Volume 30 Issue 2). Generally speaking, the AJM publishes two issues per calendar year; but in some years special supplementary issues were also published. Over the past three decades, 406 research articles (excluding book reviews, editorial and commentary items) were published (or on average, 13.5 contributions per year). Table 1 presents descriptive statistics descriptive statistics see statistics. with respect to all AJM research publications on a yearly basis. 3. Individuals Publishing the Most Articles in the AJM Over the three decades of AdM research publications (1976 to 2005), 458 authors have contributed 406 research articles. Table 2 presents rankings of authors who published the largest number of research articles to the AJM. The rankings are performed in a number of ways. First, authors are ranked on the total number of research articles published, where each co-author co·au·thor or co-au·thor n.

Philip Brown, currently a joint professorial appointment between UWA and UNSW, and formerly the founding Director of the Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM), has been the most prolific individual to have published in the AJM, with a total of 11 papers. The second-ranked author, Philip Yetton (who joined the AGSM on its foundation) has published nine articles in the Journal. The remaining top published authors (with at least seven AJM papers) are Ray Ball, Terry Walter, Stephen Stephen, 1097?–1154, king of England (1135–54). The son of Stephen, count of Blois and Chartres, and Adela, daughter of William I of England, he was brought up by his uncle, Henry I of England, who presented him with estates in England and France and Easton Easton, city (1990 pop. 26,276), seat of Northampton co., E.

Table 3 presents similar information provided in table 2, although for only the last decade of AJM publications. This is performed as a means of better understanding active contributors in more recent years, and the likely contributions which may arise in future years.

If both numbers are rational then the result will also be rational. of the number of AJM papers published over the 10-year period to December 2005. Robert Faff from Monash University and Raymond da Silva Rosa from the University of Western Australia have the largest number of published research articles in the AJM's (six papers) most recent ten volumes. In the last ten years, only one of these top-ten authors who had three or more AJM publications is also a Faculty member at the AGSM (Garry Twite twite n. A small songbird (Carduelis flavirostris) of northern Great Britain and Scandinavia that resembles the linnet. [Imitative of its call.] ). The University of New South Wales and The University of Western Australia both have two authors in the top ten over the last decade. All of the ten authors with three or more published articles in the last ten volumes of the Journal specialize in finance. 4. Institutional Contribution to the AJM From 1976 to 2005, the 458 AJM authors were affiliated with 93 different institutions. The data also reveal that 89% of published research articles were affiliated with a university, while the remaining articles were often associated with government and investment organizations. In the period of analysis, the AGSM is considered a separate institution from The University of New South Wales, and Melbourne Business School Melbourne Business School (MBS) is the largest business school in Asia Pacific and a leader in management education and executive development. Over the last 50 years, we have built an outstanding reputation for program excellence and a high quality learning experience. is also separate from the University of Melbourne. (2) Table 4 presents a ranking of institutional contribution to the AJM from 1976 to 2005. Institutional contribution is measured and ranked by the total number of AJM publications. This table also shows the weighted number of articles, where each contributing institution, n, receives 1/n recognition for the research paper, and the weighted number of pages each institution has contributed. The AGSM is ranked first, with 89 AJM publications over the Journal's history. The AGSM also has the largest weighted number of articles and weighted number of published pages. This represents a substantial lead over the second and third ranked institutions, the University of New South Wales and the University of Western Australia, with 60 and 51 AJM papers published, respectively. Table 5 presents the ranking of the 53 institutions that have contributed to the AJM in the past ten years. The highest-ranking institutions are the AGSM and the University of Western Australia, both of which contributed 22 research articles to the AJM, closely followed by the University of Melbourne, ranked third, which contributed 20 articles to the publication. The AGSM, however, is ranked first with a clear lead, when institutional contribution is measured in terms of both the weighted number of articles and weighted number of pages contributed. We also examine the concentration of articles published by the AJM (with respect to pages) by contributing institutions to the Journal for the periods 1976 to 2005 and 1996 to 2005, respectively. The concentration of articles, from a relatively small group of institutions, is high.

In the most recent 10 years, these metrics are 0.62, 0.04, and 0.63. These statistics suggest that over time, the AJM has become slightly less reliant on the contributions of a smaller group of supporters This article is about supporters in heraldry.

Fifty percent of AJM pages for both time periods are contributed by the six top contributing institutions: the AGSM, The University of New South Wales, The University of Western Australia, The University of Queensland, Monash University, and The University of Melbourne.

Citations of the Most Prolific AJM Publications The influence of a journal can be assessed along a number of dimensions. Apart from the use of standard citation Citation (foaled 1945) U.S. Thoroughbred racehorse. In four seasons he won 32 of 45 races, finished second in ten, and third in two. He won the 1948 Triple Crown, and became the first horse to win $1 million. He set a world record in 1950 by running a mile in 1:33 3/5. tools such as Thomson's Web of Science, previous research has suggested that journal influence might be measured by collecting data on the number of libraries subscribing subscribing - subscribe to a journal, the circulation rates, or the use of textbooks which cite individual journals. Given that Australia is a small and concentrated market, which also relies heavily on overseas textbooks for courses, the potential of this latter method to provide accurate assessments of influence is limited. An alternative approach might be to rely on the counts from Google Scholar This article or section contains information about computer software currently in development. The content may change as the software development progresses. , but analysis of this web tool revealed that counts are expansive beyond just published papers, and also include non-refereed sources such as working papers working papers pl.n. Legal documents certifying the right to employment of a minor or alien. Noun 1. working papers , theses, MS-PowerPoint[R] presentations and newspaper hits. In this analysis we use Web of Science on citations of the AJM papers in world-wide refereed journals at 14 January 2006. It should also be noted that citations will be dependent on the time since the paper was first published. Recently published papers take time to be 'discovered' and it may therefore take a number of years post publication for a paper to become recognized as being influential. Notwithstanding these issues, all AJM articles published over the last 30 years generated a total of 673 citations. Table 6 lists the seven most heavily cited AJM publications (i.e. with 10 or more citations) during the AJM's 30-year history. The table also presents the number of citations, both including and excluding citations in other AJM articles, the authors, and year the paper was published. Finally, the table shows the topic or area of the paper. The research paper titled 'Corporate Financial Statements, a Product of the Market and Political Process' by Watts Watts, residential section of south central Los Angeles. Named after C. H. Watts, a Pasadena realtor, the section became part of Los Angeles in 1926. Artist Simon Rodia's celebrated Watts Towers are there. (1977) has the highest number of citations, with 84. This is followed by Smith and Watts (1982) with 72 citations, and third is Donaldson People People whose family name is or was Donaldson include:
6. Publications by Research Area Over 30 Years Throughout the past 30 years, the Journal has expanded and changed focus on particular research areas. Research articles published in the AJM cover a wide range of subject areas, including accounting, economics, finance, government policy and regulation, marketing, organizational behaviour, corporate strategy and information technology management. To provide information on the Journal's historical development, figure 1 shows the percentage of AJM articles published by research area, each year for the thirty years of the Journal's history. Research papers in these tables are classified across only seven major categories (accounting, economics, finance, government policy and regulation, marketing, organizational behaviour and management, and other). Classification into these research categories is based on four criteria criteria (krītēr´ē  ),n. ; the article's title and general content, the school or department the author is affiliated with, the area editor of the article (in more recent volumes), and the journals and articles referenced within the paper. The Journal has published in its 30-year history two special issues focusing on specific research areas. The first special issue in 2002 focused on research in organizational behaviour, while in 2004 the AJM published an issue on corporate finance. Therefore, in these years there is a greater representation of published papers in these research areas, and thus a corresponding reduced representation in the other research areas. [FIGURE 1 OMITTED] Over the course of the 30 years of the AJM, the results indicate that on average the research area with the largest representation (number of published articles) is finance. Finance contributed 40% of research articles over the 30 volumes, and over 50% in the last ten volumes, indicating a significant increase in the representation of this research area in later volumes. Organizational behaviour and management is also a highly represented research area in the AJM, and is consistently represented, on average, at 20% throughout the volumes. Although the representation of the research area of economics has decreased in recent years, it still has the third largest number of published research articles. 7.

In recent decades, new and specialized journals have been founded, and the Internet Internet Publicly accessible computer network connecting many smaller networks from around the world. It grew out of a U.S. Defense Department program called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), established in 1969 with connections between computers at the has further provided timely and convenient access to new research findings available through the World Wide Web (e.g. forthcoming journal content, advanced information search queries and working paper websites such as the Social Science Research Network (SSRN SSRN Social Science Research Network )). In 2005, the publisher of the Journal of Business, The University of Chicago Press The University of Chicago Press is the largest university press in the United States. It is operated by the University of Chicago and publishes a wide variety of academic titles, including The Chicago Manual of Style, dozens of academic journals, including (UCP (Universal Communication Platform AG, Lugano, Switzerland) A software company that specialized in mobile phone services, founded in 1999 by Christian Lutz and Marwan Saba. Its offerings included SMS voting and mobile marketing tools, photo messaging platforms and custom applications for ), announced that their highly prestigious business journal would cease to publish future research beyond Volume 79 in 2006. This decision appears to have been made by UCP in response to the way in which specialist research journals have spawned and developed over recent times, and the expected demand from subscribers and readers to publish journals within narrower research domains. The University of Chicago established the Journal of Business in 1928 as the first academic journal to focus on business-related research. In the ensuing 77 years, and especially in the last two decades, scores of specialized business journals have been established. The faculty of the GSB is proud of the special role the Journal of Business has played in fostering serious academic research about business and the contributions its authors, referees, and editors have made to knowledge about business. However, we are also aware that these other specialized journals will continue to play an even more significant role in the future. (The University of Chicago Press, Journals Division, 2005). While the AJM has been a significant leader in management research over its 30-year history, the significant decision of UCP to cease future publishing Future Publishing (FTSE:FUTR) is a magazine and internet publishing company based in Bath, England. There is also an office in London. Future Publishing employs more than 1,500 people worldwide, and is one of the largest publishing houses in the UK. , might prompt consideration as to whether the AJM might one day follow in the footsteps of the Journal of Business, or perhaps re-model its publishing structure, or ask to what extent the existing structure for the AJM is adequate and meets the needs of its readers, contributors and subscribers. Consideration might be given to whether the AJM can further enhance its reputation and international visibility by partnering with one of the major international publishers (e.g. Blackwell Black·well , Elizabeth 1821-1910. British-born American physician who was the first woman to be awarded a medical doctorate in modern times (1849). Publishing, Elsevier Elsevier, the world's largest publisher of medical and scientific literature, forms part of the Reed Elsevier group. Based in Amsterdam, the company has substantial operations in the UK, USA and elsewhere. etc.). Such an arrangement might therefore enable the Journal to further increase the quality of submissions, improve serviceability (system) serviceability - The ease with which corrective maintenance or preventative maintenance can be performed on a system (e.g. by a hardware service technician). Higher serviceability improves availability and reduces service cost. Serviceability is one component of RAS. of authors and reviewers with internet-based journal management, and ultimately enhance the AJM's impact (through future citations). Of further significance is in editorial management, where increased competition from specialist journals will require the AJM to be timely in the turnaround times (1) In batch processing, the time it takes to receive finished reports after submission of documents or files for processing. In an online environment, turnaround time is the same as response time. it offers authors for quality reviews. However, the purpose of this section of the article is not designed to cast judgment on the AJM, but merely to highlight a range of challenges ahead, and to ponder Ponder - A non-strict polymorphic, functional language by Jon Fairbairn <jf@cl.cam.ac.uk>. Ponder's type system is unusual. It is more powerful than the Hindley-Milner type system used by ML and Miranda and extended by Haskell. what implications these might have for the future development of Australia's premier business management journal. The AJM is also well positioned to ensure increasing dissemination dissemination Medtalk The spread of a pernicious process–eg, CA, acute infection Oncology Metastasis, see there of research electronically to industry participants, whether in its current form, or with, say, the introduction of an abridged version of the Journal (running in parallel with the academic version) and specifically targeted at senior executives. Future opportunities suggest that the AJM can increase both its accessibility and influence amongst a wider range of management executives, public policy participants, and academics. 8. Conclusion This article provided a review of three decades of published research in the Australian Journal of Management (AJM) in the period 1976-2005. The AJM is Australia's premier business management journal, publishing articles that advance knowledge in areas including accounting, corporate strategy, economics, finance, government regulation and policy, information technology management, marketing, and organizational behaviour. In this study we have reported that the AJM has published 406 research articles, sourced from 458 different authors and co-authors, across 93 different universities and other institutions. The top four contributing authors across the AJM's thirty volumes were Philip Brown, Philip Yetton, Ray Ball and Terry Walter. Of the Journal's last ten volumes, the top two contributing authors were Robert Faff and Raymond da Silva Rosa. Not surprisingly, the AGSM as publisher of the Journal was the highest contributing institution throughout the Journal's thirty-year history. Half of the Journal's pages were contributed by six institutions: the AGSM, The University of New South Wales, The University of Western Australia, The University of Queensland, Monash University and The University of Melbourne, for both the last thirty years and last ten years. Finally, this study showed that finance has been the most highly represented research area in the Journal, and has experienced increasing representation over recent years. Given the increasing specialized nature of business research, the attractive features of web-based publication, and the decision of University of Chicago Press to cease future publication of the Journal of Business beyond 2006, the AJM is well positioned to consider opportunities for its growth and future as Australia's premier business management journal.

AJM Review Process and Rejection Rejection Refusal by a bank to grant credit, usually because of the applicants financial history, or refusal to accept a security presented to complete a trade, usually because of a lack of proper endorsements or violation of rules of a firm. Rates The review procedure for any journal relies on quality feedback of reviewers, editors, as well as minimal turnaround times. Using a sub sample of data provided by the current editor of the AJM, Bob Marks, in the period 1992-2005 the average turnaround time on submitted AJM papers in the first round was 90 days (standard deviation In statistics, the average amount a number varies from the average number in a series of numbers. (statistics) standard deviation - (SD) A measure of the range of values in a set of numbers. was 81.3). Figure A1 presents a distributional analysis of the turnaround time of first-round submissions from 1992 to 2005 on a weekly basis.

Once again this period ranged significantly from zero days (the paper was sent to the reviewer on the same day it was submitted to the Journal) to 282 days (standard deviation was 32.9). The process usually includes the General Editor deciding which Area Editor to send the paper, who in turn decides whom to invite as reviewers. [FIGURE A1 OMITTED] The AJM receives numerous submissions each year. Table A1 presents the number of papers accepted as submissions by the AJM each year for the period, 2003 to 2004, as a means of quantifying rejection rates of the AJM.

Rejection rates are also calculated and presented on a yearly basis as well as an overall basis for the two years examined. Two methods are used for the calculation of the Journal's rejection rates. First, rejection rates are calculated as the total number of rejected submissions divided by the sum of the rejected and accepted submissions (within the same calendar year of submissions received). Second, they are calculated as the total number of rejected submissions divided by the total submissions (again within the same calendar year). The former measure may prove a more useful gauge gauge In manufacturing and engineering, a device used to determine whether a dimension is larger or smaller than a reference standard. A snap gauge, for example, is formed like the letter C, with outer “go” and inner “not go” jaws, and is used to of the Journal's rejection rate, especially for more recent years. The overall rejection rate for the AJM over the two-year period based on the first measure is 62%, and 50% for the second calculation method. [FIGURE A2 OMITTED]
Table A1
Summary of the Outcome of Papers Submitted to the AJM, 2003-2004
This table presents the number of papers submitted to the AJM in 2003
and 2004. The outcome of these submissions is divided across three
categories; those subsequently accepted for publication, those rejected
by the AJM or withdrawn by the authors and finally those for which a
publication decision is still pending (this is usually because the
authors have delayed resubmission of a second or third draft).
Rejection rates are calculated using two different methods and are
presented on a yearly basis as well as an overall basis for the
two years examined.

Table 2
Ranking of Authors with the Largest Number of AJM Publications from
1976-2005
This table presents a ranking of authors which contributed the largest
number of published research articles in the AJM from 1976 to 2005.
The rankings are based on the total number of articles published and
are limited to authors which have three or more publications in the
AJM over the past thirty years. The weighted number of articles is
calculated as the sum of research publications weighted by the number
of authors. Similarly, the weighted number of pages is calculated as
the sum of all published pages weighted by the number of authors.
