DocSIG Journal Study: The Top 6 Marketing Journals 2000-2005
(Next update by 9/30/2007)
This study examines the publishing history of marketing departments and authors from January 2000 through December 2005. The biographical information for each article was examined to identify the affiliation of the authors.
The purpose of this study is to guide doctoral students in their application process. One of the most common questions asked by marketing doctoral students is "How do I know where to send my vita? What will be their research expectations?" This study, as did its predecessor by Joe Cote, helps guide students with this query. Assistant professors can also use the study as a benchmark for promotion and review.
Joe Cote's study titled “Institutional Productivity in 9 Major Journals From 1984-1999” (click here for the link from the DocSIG web page) was a reference the DocSIG officers would often direct marketing doctoral students to review. Since this is a question we encounter often, an update was in order.
Data was collected from the following journals between 2000 and 2005:
Journal of Marketing
Journal of Marketing Research
Journal of Consumer Research
Marketing Science
Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science
Journal of Retailing
Marketing departments represent only the affiliations listed in the published journal article. No attempt was made to adjust the data for faculty who have changed departments over time. The departments represented were then coded, with 1 count given to each institution represented. If multiple authors were from the same institution, the institution received only 1 count. There was no penalty for co-authorship, so when an article was written by two professors at different institutions, each institution received a count of 1 for that article. Although desirable, this study does not adjust for faculty size nor does this study account for lead authorship. If you are interested in further analysis with the data, please email DocSIG Chairman Daniel M Ladik for the raw data. We would be happy to post your results on the DocSIG Web Page. Readers are welcome to use this data for internal purposes. Other use of this data requires the permission of the author (dladik@suffolk.edu) and citation of the source of the data.
