Abstract:The article analyses co-authorship and co-citation networks in Food Policy, which is the most important agricultural policy journal in the field of agricultural economics. The paper highlights the principal researchers in this field together with their authorship and citation networks on the basis of 714 articles written between 2006 and 2015. Results suggest that the majority of the articles were written by a small number of researchers, indicating that groups and central authors play an important role in scientific advances. It also turns out that the number of articles and the central role played in the network are not related, contrary to expectations. Results also suggest that groups cite themselves more often than average, thereby boosting the scientific advancement of their own members.

“…Some recent articles are particularly influential when considering the per-year citations counts (Table 11), such as the study on strategy in emerging economies , the analysis of managerial ties and organizational learning by , or the study on board turnover in Taiwan's public firms (Liu, Wang, Zhao, & Ahlstrom, 2013). Initial or early citations represent some of the first (usually positive) feedback from the scientific community (Tahamtan, Afshar, & Ahamdzadeh, 2016).…”

“…It seems that participating in larger or international teams, cooperating with non-academic institutions or getting financial support influence neither the articles' impact on the research field (in terms of citation counts) nor their visibility (in terms of Mendeley readers). This is an unexpected result, as articles pieced together through collaborative research and international research networks and funding-supported pieces of research are usually more influential in their research fields-see Tahamtan et al (2016) for an extensive review.…”

The early adulthood of the Asia Pacific Journal of Management: A literature review 2005–2014

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This research represents a comprehensive review of the articles published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Management (APJM) between 2005 and 2014, the journal's early Badulthood.^It provides an overview of the evolution of this body of research across different dimensions: types of articles, international scope of the research, contributing scholars and institutions, scientific collaboration and non-academic cooperation paths as APJM developed as an Academy of Management associated journal. It also analyzes the impact of its published articles on the research field-based on traditional direct, indirect, and weighted impact measurements as well as on alternative metrics-and the journal's performance. APJM's early adulthood was featured by rapid and positive changes in terms of numbers, reach, international scope, scientific collaboration, article impact, and overall journal performance. Furthermore, the journal is currently ranked among the better management journals worldwide and has become the first among all management journals with a declared regional focus. Some hurdles remain and new challenges must be faced; among them, increasing the volume of conceptual works and developing the journal's scope by publishing a higher number of pieces of research dealing with organization and management issues relevant from a global (not only regional) perspective and continuing the journal's general improvement and growth.

“…We then used a Mann-Whitney U test to compare the ACC of OA and non-OA articles. To adjust for the effects of nine potential confounders (supplementary Table S3) [5,23,25,26], we performed univariable and multivariable generalised linear model (GLM) analyses [27] with OA status and these confounders as independent variables, and the citation counts of each article in each bibliographic database as the dependent variable. Clustering of database citations within articles was accounted for using a multilevel model.…”
