Blaszczynski, Carol; Scott, James Calvert; Green, Diana J.
Delta Pi Epsilon Journal, v51 n1 p15-30 Win 2009
Problem: No systematic research has explored the refereed publications records of vital business educators. Data Collection Procedures: A total of 120 prominent business educators were mailed a survey about their publication practices and history, yielding a 61% usable return rate from 73 completed questionnaires. Results: The six research questions yielded the following major findings. The number of refereed publications ranged from a low of 1 to a high of 147, accounting for a percentage of refereed to total publications ranging from 13% to 100%. The percentage of co-authored publications ranged from 0% to 100%. Taking a sabbatical leave (p = less than 0.01) and publishing from the dissertation (p = less than 0.05) predict refereed publications production. Conclusions/recommendations: Those aspiring to be prolific refereed publications authors should be guided by study findings, especially taking a sabbatical leave and publishing from the dissertation.
