  • 1.  What's a publication worth?

    Posted 03-06-2006 16:29

    Hello,

     

    I am trying to find research that puts a "value" on academic publications, preferably those in a business discipline.  This can either be monetary value or career specific value, such as influence on marketability.  I am also interested in differences in publication "value" from a journal rankings/tier perspective.  Thanks in advance for any help!

    Tamy,

     

    Interestingly, someone has at least attempted monetary computation: Gomez-Mejia  and Balkin (1992). It touches various interesting issues, but the snippet conclusion that every scholar of the field may keep in mind is that they value a top tier article at a cumulated (lifetime) value of ... $84 134. Now, that's incentive! ;-)

     

    The journal ranking/tier literature is very large, you should find good reviews around.

    Now that is a question I would like to know the answer to!

    You might contact Peter Dickson at Florida International.

    http://business.fiu.edu/web/eg/mktg/dickson.htm

    For many years he conducted research on salaries of rookies in the Marketing
    field, and his data also include number and type of publications by the
    applicants. He did some rough estimates of the impact of pubs on job
    prospects and salary.

    The doctoral student organization of the American Marketing Association might
    also have relevant info on this topic.
