College of Business Faculty Views on Gift Authorships in Business Journals
Manton, Edgar J.; English, Donald E.; Brodnax, Thomas
Journal of Education for Business, v87 n2 p79-85 2012
The views of college of business faculty were sought to determine their perception on the extent of undeserved authorship in business journals and their impact on the faculty reward system. Six hundred ninety-eight faculty members responded to an electronic survey conducted through Zoomerang. A total of 80% of the respondents indicated that they had been aware of a faculty member undeservedly being carried on a published business journal article, and 58% indicated that they had collaborated with a coauthor who had performed very little work, and 18% reported working with a coauthor who had actually done no work on a published article. (Contains 12 tables.)
