“…To assess such SCM research productivity, scholars have presented different one‐time snapshots with surveys (Gibson and Hanna 2003; Gorman and Kanet 2011; Kumar and Kwon 2004), citation analyses (Ellinger and Chapman 2011; Rao, Iyengar, and Goldsby 2013), and publication counts (Carter et al 2009; Maloni, Carter, and Carr 2009). 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.…”

“…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.

Background: Contemporary economic systems are characterised by the increasing volumes and flow of goods. This attribute highlights the importance of logistics wherein one of the key focus areas pertains to the movement and storage of freight at different geographical scales.Objective: In the light of the importance of theory in research as well as the significance of geographical location in logistics processes, the objective of the paper is to analyse the extent, scope and gaps of theory utilisation in logistics-related research.Method: The paper is based on a systematic literature review approach that encompassed 243 sources. The searches were conducted on the Internet database platforms using keywords such as logistics, logistics activities, geography of logistics activities, supply chain management, logistics theories and freight models.Results: The relationship between logistics research and theory is ambiguous in that the majority of the research does not explicitly incorporate theory. Logistics particularly benefits from theory originating from other disciplines, such as economics, strategic management and marketing; however, the use of theories that originate from human geography has been limited in logistics research.Conclusion: The drive to understand the movement and storage of freight at different scales has relevance to human geography, particularly the subdisciplines of transport geography and economic geography. It is therefore recommended that logistics research consider the theoretical frameworks originating from human geography.

“…Given the importance of research effectiveness, many works published in SCM journals over the last decade have sought to quantify research productivity, impact, and/or quality with techniques, including surveys (Gibson and Hanna 2003 ;Gorman and Kanet 2011 ;Kumar and Kwon 2004 ), citation analyses (Ellinger and Chapman 2011 ;Rao, Iyengar, and Goldsby 2013 ), and publication counts (Carter et al 2009 ;Maloni, Carter, and Carr 2009 ). Spanning almost 50 years, this article continues the longest-known series to evaluate SCM scholarly research productivity.…”

This article continues an established series of analyses across 48 years of institutional research productivity in supply chain management (SCM) journals, ranking the top 25 schools producing SCM research in 2011–13, in comparison to previous editions of the study. The current results illustrate that a core set of SCM academic institutions consistently retain strong research productivity, ranking in the top 10 across decades. However, there is significant variability in the remaining top 25 in comparison to previous editions, which is corroborated by an analysis of the concentration (i.e., diversity) of authors in the discipline that indicates that a greater number of authors and institutions continue to contribute SCM publications. However, this diversity is concentrated primarily among North American institutions as international institutions are not increasing publication productivity in the established journal set. Ultimately, the combined results provide a benchmark of the current status of the SCM discipline and present insights into its continued maturation.
