“…To provide a more extensive historical view, this article celebrates 50 years of the longest‐known series examining research productivity of SCM schools and their scholars. Starting with Vellenga, Allen, and Riley (1981), the series has continued with Allen and Vellenga (1987), Gentry, Allen, and Vellenga (1995), Carter et al (2001), Carter et al (2005), Carter et al (2009), Maloni, Carter, and Kaufmann (2012), and most recently Maloni et al (2015). This article assesses SCM research productivity between 2014 and 2016, extending the coverage of the entire series from 1967 through 2016.…”

Given the relatively young age of the supply chain management (SCM) discipline, SCM academic programs must be able to validate their effectiveness to compete for university resources. The research herein supports this by extending a longstanding series that evaluates publication productivity across six major SCM journals. This edition ranks the top 25 most productive SCM schools between 2014 and 2016. With the series now celebrating 50 years, the results therefore allow evaluation of a half century of SCM research. The series also evaluates authorship concentration to assess the continued growth of the SCM discipline. Like previous editions, the results reveal that a core set of schools continue to lead SCM research with some holding strong performance throughout the entire 50 years. However, a moderately large portion of the top-25 schools continues to change as new SCM programs emerge globally. The author concentration analysis confirms these results as the growth of new scholars and new SCM programs continue to consistently expand. As a point of concern, however, the global diffusion of SCM authorship and schools graduating new SCM scholars are slowing.

“…A study by Carter et al (2009) is an ongoing follow-up study to Carter et al (2005), Carter et al (2002), Gentry, Allen, and Vellenga (1995, Vellenga (1987), andRiley (1981). Carter et al (2009) examines author affi liation and institutional productivity based on articles published in logistics, supply chain management, and transportation journals. That study examines the time period from 2005 to 2007 and compares the results of this period with the periods from earlier studies.…”

Evaluating Transportation Research Journal Quality Using the Author Affiliation Index

Previous research by Gorman and Kanet (2011) reports survey responses on transportation-related research journal quality. In addition to ranking research journal quality, respondents in that survey also provided their opinions regarding the quality of research institutions around the world. We evaluate the consistency of these two responses with the Author Affiliation Index (AAI), which evaluates journal quality by measuring the percentage of authors coming from top research institutions. We find that the AAI produces a journal ranking that is highly correlated with our opinion survey; that is, the best-rated research institutions publish more frequently in the bestrated journals. Based on these observations, we suggest the AAI is a low-cost alternative to opinion surveys and other means of journal quality evaluation.

“…In contrast, logistics research profits from a stronger focus within dedicated journals (Zsidisin et al 2007;Carter 2002;Fawcett et al 1995). Out of the thirty-two logistics publications, twenty-eight have been published in fourteen different academic journals, much more than half (57 percent) in three of the most renowned logistics outlets (Carter 2002): seven in the International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistics Management, six in the Journal of Business Logistics, and three in the Transportation Journal. The remaining four publications are the self-published studies of Langley et al (2003;2004;2005;2007).…”

Pricing Third-Party Logistics Services: Integrating Insights from the Logistics and Industrial Services Literature

As the logistics services outsourced by companies increase in scope and complexity, the challenge of designing appropriate contracts grows. Here, the price model, which determines the remuneration, takes a central position. In practice, however, the agreed-upon contracts often fail to govern the relationship and set wrong or misleading incentives for either or both of the involved parties. In order to provide a conceptual basis and to identify promising avenues for future research in the increasingly important field of pricing third-party logistics services, this article provides a comprehensive review of the existing literature on logistics and industrial service pricing using a refined version of the established Industrial Marketing and Purchasing (IMP) group relationship management framework.
